Hummingbird Clearwing Moth - These moths can be easily mistaken for a hummingbird. They have transparent wings and they have a long proboscis and feed on nectar. They are important pollinators. Seen at Heather Garden, Fort Tryon #birdcpp @BirdCentralPark #heathergarden

You just never know what's going to turn up when you run a moth light... At first I thought I'd caught a Tawny Shears which would've been a new species for my garden. Then its antennae popped up.... Feathered Ear, last seen in the UK in 1968!!

The Ptarmigan restaurant on Cairn Gorm might need a bit of digging out before it opens. Many days’ of wind-blown snow have built up rather large drifts.

I'm excited to share high-quality photos of Fritillaria kordestanica Advay, a newly discovered species from 2022.
We traveled 2,300 km round-trip from home to capture this unique plant that only grows inside springs.

Here’s the video of the Porthgwarra, Cornwall Soft-plumaged Petrel on 13 July 2025. Originally found by John Foster at Coverack it was picked up at Porthgwarra by Steve Rogers and also seen there by myself, Pete Clement, Graham Lawlor and John Ryan.
