Lovely bandit #pipistrelle foraging in my garden this evening. Listen out for the 'raspberry' sounding feeding buzz at 43 seconds! Also a soprano pipistrelle and a #hedgehog all logged for a National Bat Monitoring Programme (NBMP) #SunsetSurvey 😊

'Our' little hoggie was out early this evening, having a good old rootle around for worms. Worth turning the sound up! Fascinating to see holes (& other evidence of successful foraging!) left behind.

Hedgehog Society any ideas what's going on here?! Hedgehog 2 was walking round hedgehog 1 in a circle. Hedgehog 1 was snorting at H2 & shuffling round in the centre. Rubbish video but you can hear H1 snorting, pic shows the 2 flattened circles.

When you forget THE BIG LENS and have to make do with mobile video. This was the Jays which looked like a fledgling being fed in the open. Did see the pair of jays flying about in late January #nature #birding #eastlothianwildlife

Only went out today to try a new lens before I get back into wildlife photgraphy, I'll take this as It was 400mm away ish. Little Egeret was my surprise.

Very excited to find tree #bumblebees nesting in our compost heap. New species for the garden 😊 Amazing to see how the species has colonised the UK over the last 20 years

A lot of Cream spots out today in Prestongrange Museum woods and of course one or two wee other beasties...BuglifeScotland NatureScot ELC Countryside Rangers #eastlothianwildlife #macro #naturephotography

Well this was a slightly unexpected development...! Although I knew #badgers were the most likely culprit for predating the bee nest, I didn't think we'd get them in our garden! #EastLothianWildlife

Having one of those super busy days when getting outside is a challenge. Took five minutes to check on how our #NoMowMay patch is turning into #LetItBloomJune . Lovely to see the yellow rattle and fox-and-cubs starting to flower 😊

Saw a couple of moths in the garden today, looking for some ID help please... I'm thinking camomile shark and (freshly emerged?) ghost...??

Surprising spot from the garden this afternoon - a beautiful flock of approx 80 golden plover in the neighbouring field. All looking splendid in their breeding plumage. Very much a record shot!
