- Reposted by Butterflies & MothsAberrant MEADOW BROWN near Chlolesbury today with pale cream hindwings, more striking in flight as upper side appeared normal brown on the forewings & almost white on the hindwings… @chilternsnature.bsky.social @bc-hertsmiddx.bsky.social @ukbutterflies.bsky.social #butterflies #nature #wildlife
- Reposted by Butterflies & MothsFew bits from this morn’s survey at Watermead… CUCKOO calling again, REED WARBLER singing (scarce here, esp. in June), Increase in MARBLED WHITES, BROAD-BODIED CHASER devouring a Hoverfly - great to see side-by-side with BLACK-TAILED SKIMMER. @upperthames.bsky.social #dragonflies #wildlife #nature
