It would be great if all the conservationists/naturalists or just folk in the know, could get behind our 2 hectare heathland restoration plan by liking and reposting this. Please show that it matters as much to someone miles away as it does to someone locally! #conservation

I wa dropping off my wool at the local depot yesterday which happens to be just up the road from Dickleburgh Moor, hence made the short diversion to see this Temmincks Stint, plus Wood Sandpiper one of my favourite waders

@Med2005Mick @maryewalker24 Try entering any old date as long as it makes you over 18. Seems to work just fine! (But remember it in case you get asked again)

Just realised it was 10 years ago yesterday that I ticked Great Knot at Breydon Water.

@RobHolmes77 This went right overhead while I was out checking my sheep. A second plane was with it when it appeared but that peeled off north

The magical purr of a Merlin engine heralded this Supermarine Spitfire over my north Lowestoft garden this afternoon. The livery is 457 ‘Grey Nurse’ Squadron, Royal Australian Air Force, with a shark mouth under the engine cowling. Only around 50 airworthy Spitfires now exist.

@Durotrigesdig @Rebecca79302251 Having dealt with a lot of dead animals over a veterinary and livestock farming career the head flopping back like that is what happens when you drop a carcase into a bag, hole or whatever if its not in rigor mortis.

@Rebecca79302251 Absolutely 100% deliberately placed in that shallow grave, but the question is was it buried as a mark of respect, was it sacrificed or did it die of a nasty disease and was hastily disposed of? Hopefully a close study of the bone should help us resolve that 🤞

Back home after 2 days enjoying @SuffolkShow. After a sodden winter, getting stuck in a Bluetongue Zone and Chris's knee replacement I was also delighted the sheep came home with several rosettes including two seconds!

We were in the Cambridge area for a post-op appointment so it made sense to call in at Ouse Fen and admire the Great Reed Warbler there blasting out his song in full view

Fairly quiet day at @RSPBMinsmere but for the Bittern hide doubters here are the 2 distant East scrape drake Mandarins & the pair of Garganey from West hide! Cute to watch this duck Gadwall with her 12 new ducklings but my highlight was this Green Hairstreak near the sluice.

@lizardschwartz Several short walks a day will be fine and hide some of her food round the house too. Years ago I let my recently spayed dog off her lead after 3 days as she was trotting calmly along. She went crazy, racing up and down a steep slope 😱 Wound was fine, thank goodness

@AlisonAllen769 They said they're happy for her to go out for 5-10 mins on lead now 😊 I'm gonna scatter her kibble in the grass in the garden for her to sniff out for something to do!

She's been pretty much just in her crate for 3 days so who can blame her for the excitement 😁

To get through the stress of the Ipswich Town game our sheep exhibitors get thoroughly spoilt with pre-filled movement licences, only to stop my brain ticking don’t expect it every year!

So... which other #freelancers are working hard today? My girls may be off (still asleep!) but for me it's just another working day - with a pile of deadlines to get through. On bank holidays, in particular, I really wish I was an employee. #grumble #moan
