As the temperature rises, so does the pressure on our garden wildlife. Here's 3 easy things you can do to give them a hand during hot weather.
This furry hoverfly does an impressive job of impersonating a bee.
Richard could stick to the road on his commute, but taking a shortcut through the woods is far more relaxing, even if he does get muddy trousers.
A small, but feisty scavenger, this carnivorous sea snail does not let anything go to waste!
This beautiful moth is often found resting on leaves, though it does also fly during the day.
The all-black carrion crow does not nest in colonies like the similar rook. It can be seen almost everywhere.
Wild carrot does, indeed, smell of carrots, but the roots are not like our cultivated, dinnertime favourite. Look for this umbellifer on chalk grasslands and coasts.
Steve tells us what's going on at Kingcombe, how the wildlife garden is coming along and what's coming up at the Kingcombe centre for the rest of the summer holidays!
The yellow wagtail can be spotted running about, chasing insects on lowland damp marshes and meadows during summer. As its name suggests, it does wag its tail!
The disc-shaped leaves and straw-coloured flower spikes of Navelwort help to identify this plant. As does its habitat - look for it growing from crevices in rocks, walls and stony areas.
