Such a privilege to meet ATM today and see this incredible piece of art. I will definitely be going back to see it soon once the scaffolding is down. As always very inspiring to hear from Geoff and Mary too. Mary Colwell

Happy #WorldCurlewDay This iconic wetland species faces huge challenges - like habitat loss, predation and flooding. WWT will once again this year be working hard to try help these beautiful birds have a successful season.

Fantastic morning at Slimbridge good but distant views of the Bluethroat, 6 great egret, 3 gooseander, wood sandpiper, temminks stint, male garganey, barwit, glossy ibis and 2 hares 😊 Slimbridge Sightings

Photos really don’t do this stunning short eared owl justice but it was an absolute treat to see him at mid point this morning ⁦Slimbridge Sightings⁩ ⁦Glos Bird News⁩

Not sure if this pair are nest building for the first time this year or more likely preparing for a second clutch. A few chicks about and good numbers of avocets incubating on both South lake and the Rushy ⁦Slimbridge Sightings⁩ ⁦Glos Bird News⁩

Windy old morning, the bluethroat showed briefly but good views of Marsh harrier, kingfishers feeding chicks and fishing around the reserve, avocet and oyster catcher families and second and third calendar year Med gulls. ⁦Slimbridge Sightings⁩ Glos Bird News⁩

I had my first trip to the relatively newly created Otter Estuary nature reserve yesterday, it was great to catch up with two of the Dartmoor Curlew Recovery project birds 0T from 2024 and 33 from 2023. I’ll definitely be back great site ⁦Chris Townend⁩ ⁦Devon Birds⁩

This picture depicts a devastating scene that conservationists are seeing up and down the country this breeding season. Lots of hard work is going into protecting these birds; working with farmers, landowners, and collaboration with other conservation groups. We are now

A great few hours yesterday evening out on Dartmoor ⁦Devon Birds⁩
