After a great start this spring the Peacock (dagpauwoog, A io) had a poor 1st gen in July, and the 2nd gen is more or less absent on Dutch Butterfly Monitoring transects. Numbers are now much lower than in 2024.

🪶 de laatste, (hoogstwaarschijnlijk de 3e) roodborst van vandaag in de tuin 🐥 #thedailyrobin 🧡 #nature today #Natuur #vogels #photography 3/3 nog een mooie avond!🥂 🌄

dan hebben we deze ook nog, zou dit een volwassen zijn, moet ik nog naar een witte vleugelveer zoeken, als die ontbreekt is het een oudervogel. Nog een hele studie 🤓 laat mij maar tobben!

Atlantic puffin from Runde, Norway for #SuperSeabirdSunday #birds #photography

Backlit stocky bird walking on a rock against a background of dry grass and violet flowers. Its belly, chest, and face are white. The back of its body and head are black. Its feet are orange. Its beak is orange at the tip, then striped in yellow, gray, and more yellow, with an orange patch between the upper and lower halves.

Not that long ago in August Buddleia's could be covered with Small Tortoiseshells (A urticae, kleine vos). On eBMS transects and 15min counts (www.butterfly-monitoring.net) this butterfly is now restricted to higher elevations or latitudes. Open squares=counted in that period.

Up to July numbers of Red Admiral (Vanessa atalanta) were good on Dutch Butterfly Monitoring transects, but since then they plumeted and now mid-August we have a negative record, as never before there were so few of them counted. This is most probably linked to poor nettle quality.

de rijpe Bitterzoet vruchtjes zijn bijna allemaal opgegeten door deze schrokop, ook de karmozijnbessen zijn schoon opgegaan. De besjes van de vlierbessen gaan ook hard, maar daar is de tuin rijkelijk mee omringd. De vuilboom, of het sporkehout is het volgende slachtoffer denk ik, die heeft flink veel en sommige kleuren al donker.

We had a large 1st gen of the Common Blue (P icarus, icarusblauwtje) on Dutch Butterfly Monitoring transects. But where the 2nd gen is usually twice as big, in 2025 it was even smaller, probably because of poor foodplant quality as a result of dry conditions in spring. Will we have a 3rd gen?

The Sardinian warbler ( Sylvia melanocephala ) breeds in the southernmost areas of Europe and the eastern end of the Mediterranean. This small passerine bird is not particularly migratory; however, some individuals winter in North Africa.

You may have noticed that I did not upload pika photos from my last trip to Rainier. I want to assure you, my dedicated public, that this was not because I didn't take pika photos. I remain committed to documenting North America's roundest boi.

An American Pika sitting on a rock with its nose in the air. This is a small brown mammal that looks like an extremely cute cross between a rabbit and a mouse. It has short, round ears, large dark eyes and long whiskers. An American Pika peeking out from lichen-covered rocks.

It’s late summer and the Asteraceae or daisy family are looking just splendid. Perfect for this week’s #WildflowerHour! See if you can find one & share your pics this Sunday evening 8-9pm using the hashtag #DaisyFamily. Happy Asteraceae hunting!

Beautiful botanical illustration by W Keble Martin from The Concise British Flora in Colour showing some of the members of the diverse daisy family. Can you find a member of the Asteraceae for #WildflowerHour this Sunday?

In honour of the 1999 Booted Eagle being accepted onto the British list,here's the sketchbook from 25 years ago! First 2 from Cornwall, second 2 from Chew Valley Lake. #Birds #UKBirding #birdart #rarebirdsUK #SciArt #Art

Set of watercolour and graphite sketches of a pale phase Booted Eagle in flight. The bird is a medium sized raptor, clearly an eagle in shape with a pale body and dark undersides to the flight feathers. From above the bird did browner with paler fringes and spots and an obvious pale band running along the center. It has two whitish spots at the bend of the wing by the join to the body. These are very obvious from in front and form an impression of The Booted Eagle in flight from below with two Buzzards. Drawn in graphite. Water colour and graphite of the Booted Eagle on the ground at Chew Valley Lake. It was feeding on a Coot if I remember correctly. Graphite sketches of the Booted Eagle and one with watercolour added of the bird showing it's extremely full crop in flight.
