Itβs true that my photographic calendar is more expensive than a generic mass-produced one, but if you had any idea how many hours I spent getting these photos, youβd think it was severely underpriced π
Hereβs me at a botanic garden in North Wales this summer. I spent around two hours in this position, photographing 4-8mm long sweat bees. There were three different species there.
Here are a couple of photos from that session that made it into the calendarπ
SUPER excited to share that my 2027 Bee Calendar is now available for sale β¨
This is a limited edition calendar with 12 of my highest definition bee photos, all taken this year.
Each photo is labelled with the scientific name, the English name, and the sex of the insect pictured.
Iβm hoping this will act as a resource for people to learn to recognise some bee species and appreciate the amazing diversity of insects that exist. πΏπ

Fake cobwebs like these may look spooky β but what's really scary about them is that they can trap & injure wildlife, including birds, insects & small mammals. And fake webs aren't recyclable β so will end up in landfill for many years.

Please don't leave Halloween pumpkins to rot in your garden, or dump them in the countryside. Eating pumpkins can make hedgehogs, birds and other animals poorly. Instead, dispose of pumpkins in a covered compost bin or council food waste bin.

Please sign and share this petition to end folic acid being added to the flour which is used in so much that we eat.
We donβt need this unnecessary medication in our food.

Communities with LEAD Foundation are digging half moon bunds in Tanzania.
Simple semicircles catch rainwater, bring dormant seeds and vegetation back to life, and restore the soil.
Low tech, low cost, but making a huge difference.

Itβs #WorldWildlifeDay2026
A day to celebrate life in all its rich, diverse & amazing forms & raise awareness of the need to protect and preserve all species on Earth
Itβs a sobering fact, but in the last 50 years β since the widespread adoption of factory farming β the total number of wild mammals, reptiles, fish, amphibians and birds worldwide has plummeted by 50%
#FactoryFarming is devastating for our health, animals & our planet #EndIt
