I’ve seen the Nutter clan many a time on @Ingram_mal social media accounts, so it was wonderful to see his Badgers shared wider on BBC Springwatch last night.
But could Mal or anyone in the #Springwatch team tell me whether Badgers always need help in releasing trapped air?

Now that the woodpeckers have fledged, I’m free from the orchard hide.
First trip out was to the Quantock Hills National Landscape where we heard some distinctive sounds.

At first light this morning this 23 day old Great spotted woodpecker left the nest.
By 9:30 the second fledged, the others however remained for the rest of the day showing little will to leave the safety of the nest chamber. #FirstBirdOfMyDay
Anyone who gets hayfever bad can relate to this.
Myself and Wildlife Tours East Devon🦫🦡🦊🦎🐍🦋🕷️🐦🇪🇺🇵🇸 certainly do.
Before I submit this to iRecord
Could somebody please confirm whether this is Stratiomys longicornis
A first record for this little site of this uncommon fly.

My tracking skills aren’t up to much, therefore the nest hole ended up too close to the edge of frame.
A few more days of practice till fledge day, luckily the woodpeckers know me well enough now, to give me the occasional wave.

Strange delivery to the woodpecker nest yesterday, a leaf.
It is well documented that some birds use plants to deal with parasites, I cannot however find any reference to woodpeckers doing so.
Now it could be an exotic Leaf mimicking katydid but in Somerset, UK?

Have you ever been trying to #sunbathe but someone else’s rowdy kids won’t shut up?
This Treecreeper has found the noisiest part of the orchard to bask in, 150cm above 5 woodpecker chicks.
