One of the few birds in the UK to sing throughout the year, this Robin was pelting out his wonderfully, liquid song at Hannafore last weekend. Winter may be coming, but territories still need protecting. @CBWPS1 #WildCornwall @Natures_Voice

I counted at least 15 Clouded Yellow butterflies up on the Rame Peninsula today. Amazing for October! @Cornwall_BC @savebutterflies #WildCornwall #butterflies

I was sitting in the hide at Walmsley, all on my own, like billy no-mates, when suddenly this Glossy Ibis landed right in front of me. After dipping out on a few birds lately, this was a welcome respite. @CBWPS1 @maxshearwater @RareBirdAlertUK @Natures_Voice

Imagine watching a Hummingbird Hawk Moth on the 2nd of October in the UK a couple of decades ago! Or even still having Laurentia in flower for that matter! #WildCornwall #wildlife #nature #inmygarden #insects

When there’s not much around to photograph, thank heavens for Stonechats. I can’t think of a more obliging bird. @CBWPS1 @Natures_Voice #WildCornwall #nature

It’s always nice to see a Kingfisher. This one was feasting on the numerous grey mullet fry in Millbrook lake today. @CBWPS1 #birds #wildlife

Thanks Brigit. I’ve still got a fair bit of marjoram in flower, so still lots of bumblebees in the garden. Now thinking forward to Spring and have crocus bulbs to plant for early bees. Hope your well x

The Hoharia is in full bloom in my garden. Its starry white flowers are a magnet for flies, bees and butterflies & for the last couple of days, this Chiffchaff has been flitting through the branches. Easy pickings! #WildCornwall #birds
