Yes! It's #bird #nesting season. Please avoid disturbing birds and their chicks over Spring and Summer. They might even have a second brood, so leave hedge and tree pruning until September. #gardenwildlife #Brighton #Wildlife #Biodiversity #Nature #brightonwildlife

Butterflies now appearing in Brighton! These will have overwintered, so can look a bit worse for wear. Brimstones are one of the earliest species to appear. The original 'Butter Coloured Fly' @pkster101.bsky.social #Brighton #Wildlife #Biodiversity #Lepidoptera #gardenwildlife #brightonwildlife
