Hello! Here's whats been happening in your world this week.
Butterfly Conservation is asking people to head out into their gardens by torchlight this weekend. The charity wants people to count moths on the ivy in their gardens as part of its "Moth Night" campaign. Ivy is a key plant for species during autumn months (see our recent Wildlife S.O.S!) and beautiful species such as the pink-barred sallow and lunar underwing can be found on blossoms at this time of year.
The arrival of a Siberian blue robin caused excitement on Orkney this week. It is believed to be the first adult male of the breed in the UK, although juveniles have been seen before. The bird was probably blown here by bad weather on its migration from Siberia to its over-wintering grounds in Indonesia, so landing in Orkney must've been a bit of a shock!
If you're keen to learn more about Siberia's wildlife, make sure you watch Russia with Simon Reeve where he goes looking for wildcats on the Siberian tundra.
3) Rescued seals back in the wild
Two grey seals, nicknamed Dusty and Hector by Hunstanton Sea Life Sanctuary, had to be rescued after they were abandoned by their mothers. Fortunately they were picked up by volunteers working with marine life at Hunstanton in Norfolk. After reaching their target weight they've been released back into the wild. Good luck!
4) Kingfishers can't speak Welsh...
We loved this photo by Jay Thomas, captured at WWT Llanelli. Kingfishers are excellent hunters, have gorgeous feathers & perfectly adapted bills. But are they good at reading Welsh? It appears not...
(If you're not up-to-date with Welsh, the sign reads No Fishing!)
Over in the USA, scientists were puzzled by strange, moving masses that appeared on their radar equipment. Thinking birds might be the cause, they turned to the public for help. Only then did it emerge that the beautiful kaleidoscope of colours over Denver was caused by huge swarms of Painted Lady butterflies. The images are just stunning.
New fossil evidence has pushed back a key step in the evolution of bird flight by millions of years. Skeletal changes that helped birds take to the air happened 120 million years ago, during the hey day of dinosaurs, according to a specimen from China.
Jeremy, the left-coiled snail whose search for love sparked a media sensation, has died, aged ‘at least two'. However, his legacy will live on as shortly before he died, his "lefty" mate Tomeu had young. The "one in a million" snail died on Wednesday, the University of Nottingham said. RIP Jeremy.
