We desperately need something like this for some of our beaches, wetlands, uplands, woodlands and nature reserves here to protect wildlife. We are in the middle of a biodiversity crisis.

Some progress at last 😀

Graphic design has rules, and they work … 👀

It's the sad truth 😕and the people in power have no idea.

Distributed throughout the UK, the Grey Wagtail is a common breeder along water courses. The BTO #NestRecordScheme only gets 100-200 records a year, so this nest record is important in informing how well they are breeding this year. BBC Springwatch #Springwatch #30dayswild

The first of many site visits to see the fantastic work of my new team – management advice by Rebecca Levey of the #kentsmagnificantmoths project at Walmer, East Kent. A wonderfully diverse amenity chalk grassland being improved for butterflies and moths by #Walmer Parish Council

You may have seen Barn Owl hunting in daylight this week. They will have struggled to hunt on rainy nights because the sound of rain on vegetation hinders their hearing, and their feathers are not waterproof - an adaptation that enables them to fly almost silently BBC Springwatch

Adult Herons typically adjust their feeding behaviour so that they can provide their chicks with appropriately sized food. Young chicks are fed on smaller prey items, with prey size only increasing as the chicks grow. BBC Springwatch #Springwatch

Puffin bills look bright to us, but did you know the parts that appear yellow glow under UV light? Birds have an extra type of cone cell in their retina that is sensitive to violet or UV light, so to them Puffin bills look more colourful than we can imagine! BBC Springwatch

The new slogan should be "Grow not Mow"?

This is so distressing I can’t even put it into words 😭😫

This beautiful video was sent to us by Peter Hobbs 🤩 Peter has a camera set up so he can watch the owls without disturbing them. Did you know that the Barn Owl is a Schedule 1 species? This means they are legally protected from disturbance while nesting: barnowltrust.org.uk/barn-owls-law/…

This will be good!

World Albatross Day ! Beautiful birds with enormous wing spans. They used to follow the ship for huge distances from the shore. 19/6/22

UK donating red kites to Spain to boost dwindling population. Illegal persecution still a problem in parts of Spain, as in parts of UK, but Spanish conservationists think their tougher penalties have reduced these crimes. raptorpersecutionuk.org/2022/06/24/uk-…

England’s most successful #SpeciesReintroduction project - for #RedKites - has come full circle and is now donating kite chicks to a similar project in Spain 🐣 The UK population of these incredible birds is now estimated at 6,000 breeding pairs. naturalengland.blog.gov.uk/2022/06/24/con…
