🐦 One of the most beautiful songs you will likely hear this spring is from the blackcap! Similar to the song of a blackbird, it is also sometimes mistaken for a nightingale. Blackcaps have returned for the warmer months to breed here in the UK. The males have a black cap on the top of their head whereas on the females it is brown. 👀 Have you seen or heard a blackcap yet? 📸 Jamal Kabir (fb)

👀 Have you ever seen a cockchafer? The cockchafer is large and unique-looking scarab beetle with striking fanned antennae. They use these sensor-filled fans to find food and mates. The larvae burrow underground eating roots, maturing for several years. During May, they emerge at night as adults, sometimes in large numbers! Once they reach adulthood, they will only live above ground for around 5-7 weeks. 📸 Helen Burton (fb)
