Currently reliving many incredible memories of watching the world’s largest mammal and dreaming of returning to Botswana. #WalkingWithElephants #Botswana #AfricanElephant #safari #takemeback

Traditionally an incredibly unpopular weed, Dandelions are one of the first flowers to bloom in spring and are an important early source of both nectar and pollen for bees, beetles, butterflies and hoverflies. So why not create a pollinator paradise in your garden by leaving a patch un-mowed where the ‘weeds’ can grow. #dandelions #pollinators #gardenwildlife #rewilding

At the weekend we put sheep’s wool out on a spare bird feeder. Within 10 minutes we had visitors collecting material for their nests! Putting nesting material out is a great way to encourage birds to nest nearby or in the nest box in you’re garden. #bluetit #gardenbirds #breedingseason #followme

Earlier this week we found this tailless common lizard basking in the garden. One of only six species of reptile we have in the UK. When threatened by a predator these scaly reptiles shed their still-moving tail in order to distract their attacker and make a quick getaway. It’s tail will regrow but it will be much shorter than the original. #Reptiles #wildlifephotography #Scotland #Lizard #followme
