Kimberley<p>I found this beautiful little lady exploring the nooks and crannies around my water butts. I think she’s a German yellowjacket wasp (Vespula Germanica), and maybe a queen as she’s quite large but I’m not sure. She was very docile, maybe quite newly emerged. But I use my water butts a lot in summer so I’ve relocated her to a less troublesome location near some trees that are surrounded by brambles so nobody can get near enough to disturb any potential nests. </p><p><a href="https://ecoevo.social/tags/ukNature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ukNature</span></a> <a href="https://ecoevo.social/tags/wasps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wasps</span></a></p>

LionelB<p>This was a very long way down the list of what I expected to see today. It is a common lizard (Zootoca vivipara). It appears that the coated aluminium heats up quickly in the sun. Also it gives up its heat easily.

Phil Sturgeon<p>🌍🇬🇧 What can we do to restore nature on Dartmoor? Nothing as daft as “kick off all the sheep”, but there are changes to grazing that’ll work, and there’s what we’ve been wasting time and money on for a decade.
