Richard Broughton 🇺🇦 It has been a joy moving back from the UK to my corner of NE France... baseline shifting back! RB Shrike just making its nest in the garden as I write. Two words: diversity and wilderness. Villages are much less manicured, especially around farms. Municipal pesticide use banned.

New in #BirdStudy
An important paper showing the results of the latest national survey of Woodcocks. A mixed picture, but overall still declining.

Incorrect assumptions like this are exactly why ecologists, conservationists & land managers need to avoid the loaded term ‘scrub’ and use the more positive ‘shrubland’, akin to woodland, wetland, grassland. It’s like calling heathland by the old name ‘wastes’. Doesn’t help.

Happy #WorldBeeDay ! Enjoying a few moments in our fabulous wildflower meadows surrounding the buildings at work UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology Wallingford. In just 3-4 years, packed with yellow rattle, buttercup, red clover, oxeye daisy and more. Mown paths providing bare soil for nesting solitary bees

More forest immersion. Last day for a while in the old-growth forest at #Białowieża . Chaffinches and Red-breasted Flycatchers now dominating the soundscape as other species are finishing breeding.
