Tried the latest Xmas trend and it worked 🤷🏼‍♂️😆🎅🏼🎄

Insectivorous bats strongly reduce their feeding flight behaviour in response to ground-mounted solar farms 🦇 Such decrease in feeding results in reduced habitat quality, which should be mitigated when solar energy projects are planned 📑 🔗doi.org/10.1111/1365-2…

📢 Higher court issues final judgment in Germany: Old wind turbines must implement curtailment if there is evidence of bat casualties. That applies to more than 18,000 onshore turbines in 🇩🇪, which causes an estimated 250,000 killed🦇per year. Whole 🇪🇺 should follow!

What the actual….!!!! Thank you so much everyone who continues to tune in and listen to the podcast!! Goodpods

A review has begun to decide which of Jersey's animals, birds and plants may need more or less protection. itv.com/news/channel/2…

The new #anabat #ranger has arrived at our office. We will be putting it through its paces and seeing how well it holds up to its older brother the #anabatswift which has been our go to detector for reliability and battery life. 137 nights to beat. Titley Scientific

Wind energy and bat conservation: scientists call for the global application of measures to reduce fatalities: izw-berlin.de/en/press-relea…

#Eurovision2024 starting off strong with some hybrid set from matrix, Tron and the trench run from a new hope. 🤷🏼‍♂️

bailiwickexpress.com/jsy/news/new-c… Well, there we go the count down is apparently on. Funny enough it was 2 years out from the last election I was first asked to stand.

Jersey's minimum wage will rise to £13 an hour in April 2025, with a further significant increase 12 months later, under government plans to move to a living wage. channel103.com/news/jersey/mi…

So whole island gets a pay rise and then prices go up to accommodate and back to square 1?

Some fantastic work being done in #Guernsey and its a shame to #Jersey lagging behind. Although I am sure a Jersey state of Nature report will show very similar trends and data deficiencies.

🚨 Postdoc Opportunity 🚨We are hiring a postdoctoral researcher in #ConservationBiology! 🗺️ Besançon, France📅 2 years🗣️ French proficiency required (to work with various stakeholders). Project: Assessing the cumulative impacts of solar farms/wind turbines/roads on 🦇&🐦using 🎙️

Fantastic research being done across Europe looking at the potential impacts both positive and negative on biodiversity. We can't claim renewable energy will improve biodiversity in the local vicinity without appropriate baseline data to track changes over time. #ecology #Jersey
