Weather was a bit too moody for most pollinators today, always worth the trek, some new records found and no ticks! Bonus! @researchnt.bsky.social @plymbiomarsci.bsky.social

Nice article in today's @theguardian.com about native wildlife on banknotes www.theguardian.com/business/202... But oh dear @bankofengland.bsky.social, why isn't there a single native plant under consideration? A few suggestions for you below + a £20 note mocked up by @trevorthebotanist.bsky.social!

Images of some native British wildflowers, such as Lady's-Slipper orchid and Bluebell, that we think would look gorgeous on one of the new Bank of England banknotes!

This week is Solitary Bee Week 🐝 At Godrevy in Cornwall, we're working with @bisschrisson.bsky.social of @plymuni.bsky.social. He's researching how 'hemiparasitic' plants (that's plants that partly feed on others) can benefit pollinators like this hard-working little Miner Bee. 📸Chris Bisson
