"I have seen a Glow Worm at Hillbrow Grassland, glowing away in the set aside field below the tumulus down near the railway."
“I saw a Scarlet Tiger Moth caterpillar munching on heuchera...
...and then later the moth itself.”
“I have maintained a bird bath at Woolgrove Allotment. I used a stack of three old car tyres with a very large plant saucer on top. We put a few rocks in and some gravel and keep it topped up with rainwater.”
“In the summer of 2019, flights of bats were common by Pix Brook Woods. You could see five or six around the trees. We captured them on video once. Sadly, in the last few years, we’ve only seen one bat at that time of day – one solitary bat, just once.”
“Yesterday in my garden, I witnessed a sparrowhawk attacking a crowd of blue tits, unsuccessfully. It was then seen off by a couple of magpies bombing it!”
“I found a massive Horse Chestnut in a field margin behind Bickerdikes Garden Centre”
