Are we barking mad? Krill are essential food for penguins, seals, whales and albatross. Now, we've introduced two new species to the Antarctic food chain to compete with these creatures by catching krill to feed to our cats and dogs. qrillpet.com/product @NatGeo

Whiskered Treeswift, such a stunning bird in Thailand.

🚀 Incredible movement alert! Our @PulsarWild sponsored CTT-tagged Jack Snipe has just completed an astonishing journey reaching Belgium from Staffordshire in just 7 hours 9 minutes! 🇬🇧➡️🇧🇪 That’s an average speed of 30+ mph for one of our most elusive and secretive species. 🤯

This is happening right now in Scotland. Most people have never even heard of it. ✍️ Sign the petition to end the Guga hunt protectthewild.org.uk/gannet-petitio…

The government have announced a public consultation on these changes. We'll be sending out a newsletter with some guidance to completing it soon. You can subscribe, for free, here: wildjustice.org.uk/newsletter/ 3/3

Eight of these changes involve shortening open seasons, or removing the species from the schedule entirely. In 2022/23 we campaigned for the Woodcock's shooting season to be shortened - over 105,000 of you signed a petition asking for it to happen. Now it's looking likely! 2/3

Great news for Woodcock! After our campaigning, the shooting season for Woodcock is proposed to be shortened! On Monday we heard the news that the government are proposing changes to Schedule 2.1 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act, affecting 9 species of birds... 1/3

Spring definitely on the move at #Belvide now. Beautiful Spring light on the res and lots of new arrivals coming including lots of clumps of frogspawn in the lane ditch😊 #TwitterNatureCommunity #TwitterNaturePhotography

@Trishsnaturepix Great set of images there Trish😊👍

Wild bird populations like pochard, goldeneye, pintail and woodcock are under pressure. We're planning to consult on new measures to strengthen their protection against shooting and support their recovery. Find out more: gov.uk/government/new…

There's nothing sustainable about krill fishing. Krill are the foundation of the Antarctic marine ecosystem, relied on by whales, seals, penguins and countless other species. The exploitation of krill for profit has to end.

This is incredible. This machine is capable of cleaning up 100 million kg of plastic ocean waste, and as of 2025, it has already collected about 500,000 kg of plastic. It aims to remove 90% of ocean plastic by 2040.

Damn right!

We are officially back on the ground. In a world divided by borders & conflict, our colleagues in Lebanon remind us of our shared humanity. Their magnificent work on the frontlines of this flyway - despite the surrounding turmoil - is an inspiration to us all. 🇱🇧 ✨

This morning @hilbrebirdobs was foggy but still the south easterly brought 4 #Wheatear (incl 3 c&r under licence) and our first Swallow of the year flew south down the island … the Scaup was still present and a pair of Eider flew past the Obs.

While attention is rightly focused on the severe humanitarian crisis unfolding in the south & east of #Lebanon, poachers in the north are exploiting the security vacuum & targeting these weary travellers as they navigate one of the world's most hazardous "bottleneck" areas …

I started my birding today 33 yrs ago- first bird recorded in a notebook on 20Mar 1993 was Lapwing near my grandparents house. Childhood passion has grown ever since. 33 yrs of birding, field works, tour leading and trips abroad has been as colourful as this Purple-rumped Sunbird

@thepdviking If there’s ever scene where people look out of place 🧐

So it begins. The sun is out and muppet season commences. This was over near Odin mine. Wtf is wrong with people. #thepeaksdistrictviking #leavenotrace
