Just look at these gorgeous autumnal colours! πŸ‚ Guelder-rose berries are visually stunning, bright red and with a slightly translucent quality. They are an important food source for birds, such as bullfinches and mistle thrushes. https://t.co/vYpJhXYFBk #autumn #nature

What a brave badger! Our team came across this half-eaten wasp nest recently – it looks like a badger had dug it out to get at the delicious and protein-rich wasp larvae within the nest 🦑🐝
