This ancient oak tree is probably older than Notre Dame cathedral. . Just like some of the oldest cathedrals we have in Europe, it has survived devastating wars, while bits of it have fallen off and been torn down by the elements. After many centuries it is still going strong. . We should cherish our ancient trees and natural heritage as much as we do our own creations. They've seen it all. . . . #ancienttrees #oak #olympusphotography #quercus #southdowns #southdownsnationalpark #trees #instanature

Happy #batappreciationday! . This Leisler's bat was being given a health check at @wild.london's Sydenham Hill Wood in south London, an exceptional London reserve for bats. Leisler's bat is uncommon in the UK but in south London's woods it seems to be faring well. . People always ask, 'what do bats do for me?'. Some species have declined by 99% in the UK since the 1950s, so ask yourself instead - what can I do for bats? . You can put up a bat box, plant a tree or flowers that attract their prey - moths. One of the best possible things is to build a pond because bats need to drink too! . Big shout out to all the people who volunteer and work hard to protect bats and their habitat in often very challenging circumstances. . Bats also eat mosquitoes, which you probably hate. Unfortunately research in England has found that more than a fifth of adults 'hate' bats. There's no reason to hate these harmless, beautiful and poorly understood animals. Their nocturnal behaviour has fostered associations with evil that seem to have lingered. We know better now, of course. . Why not join an organisation like @batconservationtrust or @batconservationinternational to support this important work? . . . #bats #batsofinstagram #sydenhamhillwood #londonwildlifetrust #batconservation #nikonphotography #instanature #nocturnalanimals

Beech trees are creeping into leaf. I always look for the white hairs on the leaf to differentiate from hornbeam. You can eat the leaves when they're nice and soft like this. Don't expect a taste explosion. . . . #fagussylvatica #spring #beechtrees #olympusphotography #sussexwildlifetrust #southdownsnationalpark #instanature #woods
