Blown away by the response to my graphic on mining bees! Inspired me to make a more inclusive graphic with some more spring #solitarybee species for #SolitaryBeeHour . This is a Be(e)ginner's guide to some of the most distinctive and widespread species (by no means all of them!).

If I had to fly for food, I'd be far less graceful than this beauty who made us happy in our garden today... Put your sound on and listen to those wings doing their work... 🐝🌻 🐝 @CwallWildlife @WildlifeTrusts @CraigBennett3 @_ERCCIS @CECLTD @YSbeachrangers @cornwallgoodsea

A gorgeous female Cliff Mining Bee (Andrena thoracica) collecting pollen from bluebells. Despite its common name it can be found in gardens, I filmed this in mine in Falmouth. #bees #bluebells @CarolynCadman @CwallWildlife @FalmouthTownUK

There's a very positive attitude within the BTO in Cornwall. Our local Rookery survey went live online on Friday evening to request squares for April and within the first 48 hours 218 tetrads have been requested. Tremendous effort by Members and Volunteers.

Despite the pouring rain yesterday, it was a successful few hours spidering at @CwallWildlife nature reserve, Cabilla woods. Amongst the 24 mature species recorded were two ancient woodland specialists: Pachygnatha listeri and Ceratinella scabrosa.

So excited that today's survey for the endangered Cornish mud snail discovered a new site for them in Cornwall. Led by Laura Larkin from Buglife and guided by Shaun Boyns from the National Trust, this is a fantastic find. #Cornwall #conservation

In honour of #WildlifeWednesday we're happy to share another #Kernewek or #Cornish word with you- Nader Margh, which means #dragonfly. You can see many types of dragon and damselflies in Penwith during the Summer. #wildlife #Cornwall #Penwith #NationalLotteryHeritageFund

Habitat fragmentation & boundary removal creates a 'landscape of fear' for hoggies, leaving them vulnerable to predation #OperationHedgehog
