We had a lot of 6 Spot Burnet Moths in our garden last year. Think we might get even more this year! The birds-foot trefoil is full of caterpillars, and earlier noticed the first cocoon ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿฆ‹ #Moths #wildlife #gardens @bc-cambs-essex.bsky.social

We often get #stagbeetles in our garden in Essex in June. Some in May last year! So could be a good time ๐Ÿคž
