I had to present the concept of one of my PhD chapter today on wolves and cattle interactions, and I asked Chat GPT to design an image for the first slide - needless to say that things got a bit out of control… 🤪 #phdlife #wolvesandcattle #ChatGPT

And this is why your garden should always be just a little unkempt...

It seems that lemons aren't the only fruit on my lemon tree on the patio in #Extremadura
I guess it's spending the day there, blending in, but being colourblind I shouldn't assume! I do think its friend may have got it slightly wrong though... #frogs #wildlife

Great interview with a livestock farmer about coexisting with Wolf in the area of western Europe that has the highest density of wolves. It shows it can be done, but many prefer the drama of anger & persecution... newtral.es/fernando-rodri… #Wolf #Nature Prof. Katie Hinde Fiona Mathews

The hunting & farming lobby in Spain said legal protection of wolf in 2021 would lead to a population explosion, they would be overrun. New census reveals that numbers of #wolf have remained stable. eldiario.es/sociedad/invas… #Nature stabilises itself, without our intervention. 🐺

A Skylark singing high in the blue, a small dot in the brightness, there is something very special about it, something that carries the power to lift your spirit.

Egyptian Geese have spread across many parts of Spain in recent years. One of the keys to their success is their readiness to adapt to opportunities. Getting out of this hole is one thing, but how on earth did it get in??? Mark Avery Alex Lees Ian Carter David DarrellLambert

Medio minuto de la vida de un raposo:
-Un aperitivo.
-Un pis mientras se pregunta ¿Quién será ese tonto del coche?

19 years ago Iberian Lynx were in danger of extinction. But a breeding program started & Monday is 19th anniversary of the 1st captive bred Lynx being born. Back then, only 150 Lynx existed, now wild population in Spain is around 1700. Predators can come back if we let them.

Who would have thought that the conservatives voted against it...
Well done Scotland, it's time we followed the example...

Un día quedé hechizado y el veneno de ese embrujo corre por mis venas. No puedo dejar de pensar en ellos, mi pasión, mi encanto, mi ilusión, mis desvelos...

#WorldRewildingDay is an ideal time to plug this fascinating book, 'Great Misconceptions - Rewilding Myths and Misunderstandings' (Ian Parsons Whittles Publishing), available for pre-order. I contributed a chapter, 'Why rewilding is right for cities too'.

Really looking forward to seeing this book in print! #WorldRewildingDay

As it is #WorldRewildingDay today, it would be remiss of me not to mention Great Misconceptions - Rewilding Myths and Misunderstandings that will be out later in the summer, a great list of contributors making a fascinating read... Pre-order here whittlespublishing.com/Great_Misconce… #books

Beaver were first spotted in La Rioja in Spain in 2005, in 2007 it was estimated there were about 15 individuals. They have now spread... 2023 survey estimates there could be 465 Beavers in 124 territories on the Ebro & its tributaries. #WorldRewildingDay Back where they belong.

Defra UK Just allow that hedge to step out. Succession will then favour a greater biodiversity aiding nature recovery more efficiently without the need for costly guards + time spent looking after, saving tax payers money, and helping nature recovery. Ian Parsons Eoghan Daltun 🌍
