Enormously proud of my #art #students @CUBGEducation this ek, look at the #insects & #pollinators they've illustrated this #NationalInsectWeek! A new set to teach 2mw; looking forward to more #entomology & #insect #illustrations!
Just posted a new #video to Youtube;it's a #timelapse film of me doing a #botanicalillustration #sketchbook study in the #bluebellwoods near my home in #Hayonwye. I also have a look at other #springflowers growing there. Take a look if youve got 5 minutes https://t.co/6HvEy1tJVA
Ok, a couple more. Grass,sedge or rush?(tweet yours with hashtags #grasschallenge 4 #wildflowerhour this Sun17th June 8-9pm @wildflowerhour @BSBIbotany) From L to R, Common #cottongrass, Meadow #foxtail, Shoenus nigrans). #Illustrations done 4 @bbcwildlifemag & @FSCPublications
@BBCRadMac #Beechat I've been stung repeatedly by #bumblebees, but it was my own fault for putting a garden fork in their nest by mistake (aged 7). Now I illustrate them (and lots of other contenders, and plants) for a living. Got to love a bee.
The #roses in my garden seem to have decided to bloom all at once here in #HayonWye, it's very lovely; here are some #botanicalillustrations I've done over the years (the first two were for the #HedgerowHandbook and #Gardenforager by @hedgerowguru)
@BSBIbotany @botany_beck @WildlifeTrusts @PippaGreenwood @BBCGQT @friends_earth @green_mummy @B_Strawbridge @BumblebeeTrust @DaveGoulson @Buzz_dont_tweet @AlysFowler @issybryonyh Got to love #bees, #wildflowers and #plantsforpollinators as a cluster of hashtags! I have already downloaded the #GreatBritishBeeCount app and plan to stake out the sage flowers with this kids this afternoon, if the sun's out. Love this tie-in!
@Phoebe_poodle @savebutterflies Huh, that's interesting, Ive got Aquilegia in the garden too. The moths aren't big on my comfrey, thats the zone of many bees...
Anyone else found a massive surge of #SilverY #Moths (#Autogrpaha gamma) this week? My flowering sage in #Hay is thronged with them, wonder if they've just migrated in over the past few days? @savebutterflies what do you think, or is it just my #wildlifegarden paying dividends?
New blog up on how vital #bees are to EVERYTHING by guest blogger Gus Stewart of https://t.co/8tuo6gH67Y. Many thanks, Gus! https://t.co/ltGgOzkdAu
Seeing as it seems to be #WorldOtterDay I thought I'd post a few of my #otter #naturalhistory #illustrations done over the years (3 different species from 3 different continents)
