Red Admiral in our garden at Harman's Cross near Swanage yesterday - that brings our garden butterfly species total for 2026 to 2 - lots more sightings hoped for soon. @savebutterflies.bsky.social @dorsetwildlife.bsky.social @dorsetbutterflies.bsky.social
Lynda, Happy Birthday - and what a beautiful warm sunny day!
My first butterfly sighting this year (a Peacock) in our garden at Harman's Cross near Swanage today. Hopefully the first of many more sightings. @savebutterflies.bsky.social @dorsetbutterflies.bsky.social @dorsetwildlife.bsky.social
I have been wondering why our suet block bird feeder gets emptied so quickly, now we know why. This pheasant makes short work of a suet block! @dorsetwildlife.bsky.social
Herald Moth on our utility room door yesterday - mayby a good place to hibernate and camoflaged against the wood. Gone by this morning, or would have found a suitable place outside for it @savebutterflies.bsky.social @dorsetbutterflies.bsky.social @dorsetwildlife.bsky.social @dorsetmoths.bsky.social
Martin, That is one fantastic photo! I have taken many photos from that spot but none as good as that.
My first post on BlueSky - previously on X/Twitter. Some photos I took in Dorset in 2025 - Lulworth Skipper, White-letter Hairstreak, Clouded Yellow, Green Hairstreak. Hoping for lots of great sightings in 2026 @dorsetbutterflies.bsky.social @savebutterflies.bsky.social @dorsetwildlife.bsky.social
