Kestrels are basically the hover kings of the bird world! 🛑🕊️ With nothing but their wings and wild skill, they can stay frozen mid-air like nature hit the pause button.

Hi, Andy, the first spider is Hasarius adansoni, Adanson's Jumping spider and a species that is very likely established in botanical gardens and hothouses in the UK. The second is Cyrba algerina, a species that specifically preys on web building spiders.

At last! Our 1st ever male Wool Carder Bee (Anthidium manicatum) (we saw a female 2 years ago in the Chilterns). We have lots of types of Stachys & he is holding territory around a Betony. We hoped one would turn up! @B_Strawbridge

Sunset seems to be a good time to watch Peregrine Falcons Falco peregrinus. These youngsters were putting on a fine aerial show with their two siblings earlier this evening @rachelscott78.

Just putting the garden tools away in the shed when I felt something on the back of my hand... a Snakefly! We've always wanted to see one and didn't expect one to find us! After some research, it's a female Small Snakefly (Xanthostigma xanthostigma).
