There's no evidence to prove that #BlueMonday is the most depressing day of the year. But there IS evidence that proves nature is good for our wellbeing.
If you’re not feeling your best today, why not listen to a wild podcast to connect with nature🎧👉 wildlifetrusts.org/podcasts

There's something special about a weevil. This is one of the species that likes Figwort - Cionus tuberculosus. Found half a dozen in the garden yesterday - only a few records for Northants but probably well under recorded.
Thanks for the tag Simon. Have you submitted the record on the website?

A very welcome new fungi species in the garden with Amethyst deceiver (we think). Amazing what pops up! Dusting is pollen from a nearby cedar. #MushroomMonday

Haven't seen an Ivy bee for some weeks here although we have masses of Ivy which is literally humming with insects. Found this one late yesterday on Verbena bonariensis & don't think they can reach the nectar so moved it to Ivy & it lapped it up!

Surprised to find a female Sharp-tail bee (probably Coelioxys inermis) in the garden yesterday (19th). Our latest ever and she spent most the day on the asters. We haven't seen a Leafcutter (their host) since last week. @B_Strawbridge @TheGreenJeanie
