We were back at Little Haven Wildlife site today to finish cutting and raking this disused railway track. Lovely weather & always a treat at lunch where we get homemade soup & cakes 😀 @bcwarwickshire.bsky.social #volunteer #warwickshire

View looking along the path towards the gate. The path is lined with apple trees and in summer this path is full of wildflowers.

Moths matter! 📢 Which is why we're on a mission to create the first official Red List of Britain’s Macro-moths Without this formal recognition, species risk being overlooked when national, regional and local decisions about conservation priorities and funding are made. 📷: Rob Blanken

Time to give moths some love! ❤️
help create a Red List for Britain’s macro-moths by supporting this crowdfunded 🙏
By creating this list it helps us highlight which moths need the most help & also unlock funding to target conservation for these species.

Interesting results and worth a read especially the ‘Three top tips to ‘drought-proof’ gardens for butterflies’ for next year.

This year's #BigButterflyCount results show it was a very good summer for many of our widespread butterfly species. But how will the extreme heat and drought impact next year's populations? ☀️🦋

Dr Dan Hoare, Director of Nature Recovery, breaks down the results.

@bcwarwickshire.bsky.social Sep 15, 2026, 11:56 AM

Exciting! Anyone have any guesses? 🤔

The Red Underwing (Catocala nupta) knows how to make a statement 🤩

Keep an eye out for this flashy moth in woodland, parkland, scrub, riverbanks and gardens.

Back at Newton Five Arches Wildlife Site today, more raking and path work. A wet start as it was raining and everything was wet 💦 No butterflies but did see a very faded yellow Shell moth. #volunteer @bcwarwickshire.bsky.social

Looking down the path that runs behind the wetland area. Widened and overhanging vegetation trimmed back.

Wonderful! Hope you haven’t caused a stampede to Aldi as everyone will want a Small Copper butterfly in their garden! 😀

Lovely caterpillar 🐛 😀
