Our researchers Cannelle Tassin de Montaigu & Dave Goulson University Of Sussex found that bird-friendly habitats are associated with higher bird numbers & diversity in residential gardens. Also that house sparrow numbers decreased 12% in gardens that applied pesticide. doi.org/10.1016/j.scit…

New study: gardeners who use pesticides tend to have fewer garden birds... 25% fewer sparrows in gardens where glyphosate used, 40% fewer when metaldehyde slug pellets used. Pls RT doi.org/10.1016/j.scit… Cannelle Tassin de Montaigu

Research carried out by Sussex researchers Cannelle Tassin de Montaigu & Dave Goulson shows that garden pesticides are contributing to British songbird decline, as reported by The Guardian. theguardian.com/environment/20…

I’ve seen it all now! 😖 To anyone thinking of coating their wall/fence in fake plastic trellis/climbers (yes, you heard me right!), DON’T! For less money, you could buy some trainer wire, some native climbers & provide food, shelter and a nesting site for #wildlife 🐝 🦋 🌱

A fruitful but cold morning!! 🥶 here are some of the species we ringed: a male siskin probably heading to 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿, a female reed bunting flying off and a long-tailed tit.

Latest paper out today! Thanks to Cannelle Tassin de Montaigu and Dave Goulson at University Of Sussex Investigating how the use of pesticides, urbanisation and habitat quality in domestic gardens can influence butterfly and bumblebee populations.

Our new research finds 33% of gardeners in UK use pesticides, and those that do have slightly fewer butterfly species Cannelle Tassin de Montaigu The Buzz Club sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Did you know we have publications on our website? Cannelle Tassin de Montaigu & Dave Goulson have just published their research into how butterfly & bumblebee populations in gardens across the UK are influenced by habitat quality, urbanisation level and pesticide use thebuzzclub.uk/publications

We are calling on the government to ensure a more detailed risk assessment of the environmental impact of veterinary drugs. You can find the publication here sciencedirect.com/science/articl… STOTEN

100% of nests tested by University of Sussex for SongBird Survival research were contaminated with toxic pesticide fipronil. Flea & tick treatments are the likely source. Read more here.songbird-survival.org.uk/post/veterinar… and watch the video.
