The biggest, most existential issue facing our species is being totally ignored in the election debate. Today’s march to #RestoreNatureNow will be a celebration of nature but also an expression of our grief & anger - the lack of leadership is unforgivable theguardian.com/environment/ar…
Congrats to my fellow Bristolians and to Carla Denyer for making history. So good to see ...it's almost worth moving home for!
Sadly, Breeding Bird Surveys 2023 report showed UK wide declines for aerial insectivores with Swift down 66% since 1995. BTO have looked into understanding the drivers of Swift decline, focusing on weather & aphid availability. Read the science ➡️ bit.ly/3VPm6ao #SwiftAwarenessWeek

Following the ZSL Symposium co-hosted with University of Portsmouth, we have collaborated on a new report published by Blue Marine Foundation and partners. Highlighting the ecosystem services of our marine habitats and how the UK Government can restore them. Read the report
The swift chicks at the David Attenborough Building Cambridge Conservation Initiative have now left. Exciting though that there are prospecting birds around, including this one taking a look around Box 4. Fingers crossed it returns next year with a mate! UKSwifts Action for Swifts BTO
Latest swift mini-project (with my dad).... Adding some extra nesting spaces in an existing small colony in France, using half brick entrances from Action for Swifts. Let's see if any get used next year!
