Spent some time filming (from a very long way away) these rare birds in east Kent yesterday. A pair of Black Winged Stilts have raised 4 chicks. See more on BBC South East at 1830. RSPB RSPB England
When you’re in a nature spot in the evening and you sense, due to the shouting from behind, in the middle of a serious live broadcast, there’s a puppy on the loose ..and then it starts jumping up your legs for the fluffy microphone 😂BBC South East Kent Wildlife Trust Buglife

Brief glance at all 3 of our newly hatched Barn Owl chicks. Slightly longer gap than I would have liked between each hatch. Let’s hope there are enough voles to go round. 🤞Barn Owl Trust RSPB England Chris Packham
Start of a solution to the Hoad’s Wood illegal waste situation. The Govt has ordered the Environment Agency to clear it and the EA is being made to foot the bill. Controversial? Listen to this clip from our programme. BBC South East Rescue Hoad's Wood 🍃💚🍃 Chris Packham Kent Wildlife Trust

Love these Roesel’s bush crickets. We get a lot of them here in west Kent. They’ve moved further north in recent years. This female has super fancy wings. The male was singing in the bathroom 🙄. @buglife Kent Wildlife Trust Grasshoppers & Related Species Recording Scheme

Huge thank you to the two female crew members from Dartford South East Coast Ambulance who looked after my mum yesterday evening. She’d fallen, broken her hip and was in a lot of pain, but they made her trip to hospital as comfortable as possible. 🙏
