@SmalePerry I am not, but I’ve monitored them in areas where sheep are densely farmed. The farmers enjoy having the eagles in the landscape and all members of the NSA in this locality have said they realise since having them around, that the negativity towards the birds is just political.

The birds play a vital role that is missing in so many ecosystems in the U.K., but beyond the trophic enhancement, they benefit the local people in so many ways. I can also say that after years of monitoring them, that they provide no threat to farming practices whatsoever.

Britain's largest bird of prey is returning.🦅 We've approved a new licence to release white-tailed eagles in Exmoor National Park. This builds on the existing Isle of Wight programme led by @forestryengland and @RoyDennisWF. naturalengland.blog.gov.uk/2026/05/13/sup…

Temporada a temporada, se intensifica el trabajo de campo en primavera con el seguimiento de la reproducción de las grandes águilas en territorio valenciano. Seguimos incorporando datos a la serie de campo, que empieza a ser ya larga (2000-2026) 📊📝 Y lo que queda… 😅
Movement Ecology lab UV@movecolab_UV

Con pollos ya volados, otros aún en nido y parejas aún incubando, seguimos como siempre con el trabajo de campo de seguimiento de la reproducción y movimiento de águilas reales y perdiceras en el marco de nuestros proyectos de investigación científica 📡🛰️

Most years I ask for one thing for my birthday, to see #BeeEaters and usually it's on the Camargue But this year we've not been able to travel abroad so when news came out of 13 Bee eaters near Eccles in #Norfolk I had to go V distant so this was best I could do but v happy 🥂🎉

I was just studying the Short-eared owl flight from videos from this past winter. Just look how they conduct the air!

The male blue mason bee only lives for a couple of weeks, where his job is to pass on his genes and sustain himself, but my god, doesn’t he do it in style!

The ways these sweat bees exoskeletons manipulate light is fascinating!

For some of the members of the lasioglossum genus of bees, one Acer leaf can be like a whole planet!

Andrena nitida with a little antennae maintenance. Look at that beautiful pattern on the protective cuticle covering the abdomen.

The smallest bee so far that has visited the Acer. So much so that I did not realise it was a bee until I took a photo (6/7mm at a push). I think it is a female sweat bee (Halictus confusus) unless like its name, it has confused me.

Las alas de las aves no son todas iguales. Cada forma responde a una manera distinta de volar y de adaptarse al entorno, desde largas travesías sobre el océano hasta maniobras rápidas entre árboles o vuelos suspendidos en el aire. Una diversidad que también es biodiversidad ✨
