And here you can see why! This is the stem of a young Giant Hogweed, which has purple blotches and is covered in stiff bristles. If you come into contact with the sap it can cause bad blistering and swelling, made worse by exposure to the sun. 3/3

These moths have beautiful, long antennae. Normally I'd get the shot by gently holding the leaf to steady it and prevent movement in the wind but I wouldn't touch Giant Hogweed with a barge pole! 2/3

This was a really tricky subject to photograph, mainly because it was resting on Giant Hogweed and flailing around in the wind. I think it's a Green Longhorn moth (Adela reaumurella). 1/3

Redstart, North York Moors
No white-tailed eagle joy today at Hinderwell and Kilton but consolation that one of my very local patch redstarts is back. Lovely colour contrasts as ever. NorthYorksBirdNews teesbirds NatureUK Redstarts RSPB North York Moors NP Yorkshire Wildlife Trust
