Mammals are our prime focus on Staffordshire Mammal Group events but last Sunday at Hanbury Hill the sun came out and so did some interesting insects. 5 species of Butterfly, Dark-edged Bee-fly and Cinnamon Bug -(Corpus hyoscyami) being the best 🙂
A very pleasant Staffordshire Mammal Group meeting last Sunday 14/4/2024 around Hanbury Hill. Signs of Fallow Deer, Muntjac, Red Fox, Mole and Badger plus Rabbit and Grey Squirrel seen.

As spring arrives, molehills become more frequent, as during this time, moles follow their earthworm prey to shallower soil.

Fantastic to find the Pine Long-horned Hoverfly, Callicera rufa, again at Formby, Merseyside this week. This is the fifth year that the species has been present at this site. A fantastic insect @tanyptera #syrphids #diptera @StevenFalk1
A big thank you to the volunteers who installed leaky dams at Swineholes on Ipstones Edge Nature Reserve, helping to slow the flow of water and making better habitat for wildlife! 🙌 Photo by Bryony Davison
Over the past two decades, #hedgehog populations in England have decreased by almost two-thirds. We can make a positive impact by leaving out food and water to support their diet and create a safer environment by avoiding the use of chemicals in our gardens. 🦔
Putting out a bit of food can really help mammals like hedgehogs. Why not make a feeding station? 🦔 wildlifetrusts.org/actions/what-f…
Social prescribing shows a significant reduction in stress and an improvement in mental health. 💪 An independent study found that Wildlife Trusts' health and well-being programmes save the #NHS money! Help us spread the word 👉 wildlifetrusts.org/nature-helps
I spent yesterday searching an area of ancient woodland near Henley, and was rewarded with finding one of our rarest and most spectacular Craneflies, Ctenophora flaveolata. Without doubt the highlight of my year so far. @DipteristsForum

Andrena ventralis. Added to the British list from a site in Hampshire last year. One of six British Andrena's that gather pollen entirely from Salix. The combination of red underside to gaster and white tergite flecks makes it pretty easy to identify. Thanks @JWentomologist

We combined with YWT to record a Butterfly Identification Training zoom. Aimed at new transect walkers as well as a refresher it takes a deep dive into the problem species and techniques you can use to improve your accuracy with lots of handy tips. youtu.be/6Bl_9V3BvaI

What? It's only Wolf's Milk Slime 👀 Often confused for a fungus, Wolf’s Milk Slime is actually a type of slime mould that thrives in woodlands all year round.
We are so excited to announce that #BigMammalChallenge starts next week! Become a citizen scientist and join us in monitoring the mammals around you during National Mammal Week. Take part: buff.ly/4cZwEeR #BigMammalChallenge2024 #NationalMammalWeek #ForgottenMammals
