First ladybird came out of hibernation - in my car! Seems ridiculously early! It’s got to work hoovering up aphids on my scented geranium in the conservatory. Did you know that the collective noun for ladybirds is a β€˜loveliness’! How perfect is that. #ladybird #gardeningforwildlife #ecogardening #lookaftertheinvertibrates #planetbeforeprofit #organicfree

Ox-eye daisies are bumblebee super-plants. But with 97% of UK wildflower meadows gone, they're now too rare a sight. That’s why gardens and community green spaces are vital for bumblebees and other pollinators - so please create a haven for these essential insects with nectar-rich planting 🐝

Next year, please let the dandelions grow!
🐝 They support over 50 insects species
🐝 They're a great early season food source for pollinators including bees, butterflies and hoverflies
🐝 Birds eat the seeds in autumn
🐝 No need to mow
And please don't use weedkiller!

Shooting stars across Yr Wyddfa and a frozen Llyn Y Dywarchen last night. So many shooting stars, I almost ran out of wishes for every one!

Bitterly cold, but crystal clear and bright. I'm sure I might, maybe, just about, definitely, have heard sleigh bells in the distance.... πŸŽ…β„οΈβ›°οΈπŸŽ„πŸŒ πŸŒŒ

We have a large pond in the middle of the farm. It has many moods depending on the weather and the season. This is ice fog in winter. The trees are Black Willows (Salix nigra). I always think they look a bit spooky without leaves.
