I'm Caroline and I share my love for the environment here. I have been passionate about being more eco-friendly. I decided to start this blog to share tips and tricks on making your everyday life more sustainable.
I have been an animal lover since I was a child. During my 2nd year of university, I rediscovered my love for being outside in nature. Since then, I have been sharing how to attract nature and which species to see when.
I believe that being eco-friendly isn't just about making actions more sustainable, but also appreciating nature. We need to learn what is around us, the value that it has on the planet and what we can do to ensure that we, as humans, do not destroy it!
Take a read of some of my blog posts to learn more.
Grass Jewel (Freyeria trochylus)
•
I was SO excited to spot this butterfly as I really didn’t think i would come across it. When i first saw it, I thought it was a moth because of how tiny it was but the markings from the blues family just caught my eye. The Grass Jewel is the smallest butterfly in Europe which is even more cool! 🦋🇨🇾

One of the highlights of Cyprus was seeing a sea turtle during a boat trip! 🌊🐢 The sea is as blue, if not more than the photos show 😍 also got to swim in this beautiful sea and saw some fish 🐟 Would love to go back and explore more ☀️

There was a vegetable farm opposite are villa and there were so many Whites, including the Bath White which flew into our drive - jumped out of my seat to take its photo! 🤍🦋

Beautiful Marsh Fritillary (Euphydryas aurinia)

So exciting to see a few Marsh Fritillary butterflies a few weeks ago 🧡 they were very active and fluttery so it was hard to get photos properly in focus 🦋

I’ve never seen so many Small Blues as there were at Prestbury Hill a few weeks ago 💙 It was so lovely to see a swarm of these beautiful butterflies everywhere you looked! There must have been about 50 individuals 🦋🥳

Duke of Burgundy (Hamearis lucina) 🧡

I have a soft spot for this butterfly as i worked on a project with the Butterfly Conservation about them last year. I thought i was going to miss out on seeing them this year, but managed to squeeze in a trip to Prestbury Hill and saw 5! 🦋😍

Beautiful green hairstreak! 💚🦋 I’m so happy that i saw a green hairstreak yesterday as I really thought it was too late. This one is a bit weathered, but stayed on the hawthorn for ages and let me take plenty of snaps 📷🥰
