Great to hear male tawny owl hooting on my walk to the station this morning. Local housing development had taken out a lot of mature trees. Good to know the tawny owls are still out there. #ukwildlife

My #Robin friend Little Mate. He's busy defending his territory at the moment, mostly by singing and chasing off the occasional intruder. But he likes to take a break to snack and chat when I drop by.
In #Bath #Somerset #UK.

I'm sure someone will tell me what this fungus is. All I can tell you is it seemed very keen on this tree stump.

Batman Hoverfly (Myathropa florea) at Bath City Farm @bathcityfarm.bsky.social. Found well into the autumn, often on Ivy flowers or at its breeding habitat of rot holes & cavities in trees.
