Garden wildlife. I think this is a final instar nymph of a Southern Green Shieldbug (Nezara viridula), though it was quite dark. Found in the garden waste bin today, and released back in the bushes! @bugmanjones.bsky.social #londonwildlfe.

Sutton Peregrines. Both adult males were sitting quite close to each other this morning, the older one briefly leaving to engage with a couple of Crows but returning to the same spot on the corner. The 2025 male has quite a full crop too! #londonbirds

Garden wildlife. An Anyphaena numida found on the kitchen ceiling this morning. Very sprightly once caught, and even when in the pint glass it was photographed in it was able to scale the sides effortlessly. Released on the shed where there are others. @britishspiders.bsky.social #londonwildlife

@stephenmossauthor.bsky.social 's 'The Puffin: A Biography' is already on sale in @waterstones.bsky.social . There were three copies at the Sutton branch this morning, though there are now only two! I've had a quick browse already, and am looking forward to reading it properly.

Garden wildlife. A rather nice Lacewing on the back door last night. Probably, but not definitely, Common Green Lacewing (Chrysoperla carnea). I've always been fascinated by these! #londonwildlife

Garden wildlife. Last night I found a Segestria florentina on the shed. I have around 25-30 here now, but so far they have all been on the house itself or on a fence close/parallel to the side of the house, 1.5/2m from it. This was about 5/6m away from the nearest fence one. #britishspiders

Garden wildlife. Last night the Zoropsis spinimana on the outside of the shed was feeding on something - difficult to ID, though it did appear to be one of the Anyphaena numidas that are also out and about on the shed at the moment, and likely passing quite close to each other. #Britishspiders

Garden wildlife. The vixen (the mother of the cubs) came to be fed quite early today at about 17.00. The cubs were a bit later as usual, and it was by then getting dark. 🧡🦊 #londonwildlife

Garden wildlife. A few photos of one of the Fox cubs (white tip) last night. #londonwildlife

Garden wildlife. A lovely Zoropsis spinimana on the shed last night. Possibly my favourite spider, and one I've seen fairly regularly here over the last few years. And a second one was inside the shed too - only underside views of that one, but they're quite distinctive! @britishspiders.bsky.social

Garden wildlife. 4 different Anyphaena numidas on the shed last night - there may have been more! @britishspiders.bsky.social #londonwildlife

Garden wildlife. A not great photo of a Common Pipistrelle Bat from last night - it's an enlargement of a a screenshot taken from a phone video. I often see these, and occasionally Soprano Pipistrelles. #londonwildlife

2/2. And that one was curled up asleep in an old bird bath I no longer use because it's cracked and leaks. 'White tip' did subsequently move to sleep close to its sibling, interacting with it a bit too. 🧡🦊🦊 #londonwildlife

Garden wildlife. House Sparrows bathing earlier today - I'm not sure why they suddenly decide at some random time that it's bath time! #londonbirds
