Bristol, nature, pedagogy, writing, gaming, craft & more. Once memetically drifted, now exploring Bristol's Wild Heart,
- Some frosty floral finds and a new bee-ginning from central Bristol, inspired by the #NewYearPlantHunt from @bsbibotany.bsky.social. bristolswildheart.wordpress.com/2026/01/05/f...
- I had a lovely day learning about hedgelaying today, run by CPRE and Mike Reed at Barrs Court Moated Park near Longwell Green, Bristol. This is part of their #HedgerowHeroes project to create or restore 10 km of hedgerow habitat in the region before the end of 2026.
- Hedgehog found in central Bristol! I've never seen one here before, I'm so happy they're here! This adorable litte one was sadly trapped in a gulley area near mine, but I was able to catch it and give water and cat food. A vet was able to see it, gave it clean bill of health and it was released!
- Time to pack away the butterfly clipboard for 2025! 🦋📋 I recently did my last shift of butterfly monitoring at Old Sneed Park Nature Reserve (BS9) for the year - it's been so much fun 🥰. Lovely insects, cool data AND nice walks! (butterfly pics are from a range of places over this summer)
- Grasshoppers call with their legs and crickets call with their wings!
- Brandon Hill very much demonstrating the perks of Letting it Bloom in June! Learn more: bristolswildheart.wordpress.com/2025/06/22/b... @plantlifeuk.bsky.social #nomowmay #letitbloomjune #wildflowers #invertebrates #moth #wasp #ladybird #orchid #bristolnature #bristolwildlife
- Bristol's Grow Wilder is such an interesting place! I've done 6 volunteering sessions there so far and it's been great. It's vibrant with life too - see my top twelve from last week here: bristolswildheart.wordpress.com/2025/06/12/w... #bristolwildlife #wildlifephotography #volunteering
- It's currently #solitarybeeweek! To celebrate, here’s an article about a lovely little solitary mining bee which blessed me with its presence in my garden recently. bristolswildheart.wordpress.com/2025/05/20/m... #buglife #insectsphotography #entomology #bee
