@citygirlnature @citybabynature @getbirdingpod Thank you for doing it. It was a great listen while on my lunchtime walk around the city.

Did someone say @citybabynature Tune into Episode 2 of @getbirdingpod 👶🏾 🐣 #nesting #getbirdingpod #citygirlinnature #citybabyinnature pod.fo/e/188259 🎙️🫶🏽

A Lesser Black-backed Gull in Barrow tonight with not one but two crossbow bolts through it 😡

On #WorldCurlewDay, we're celebrating this iconic and endangered wader. Have you seen one in the wild?

Just in case you didn't 💙 beavers enough... Beaver ponds are like buffets for birds that stay here over winter, as they create habitat for plants and insects🧑‍🍳🐦 Findings showed bird diversity & abundance increased even ~ 100m away from ponds. therevelator.org/beavers-birds-…

Lovely set of swallows circling and darting between the folks in @CTHarbour.

How about this! 18 blue tits in one nest box! 🐣🐣🐣 Thanks to @melissacoxo for sending them in to us! We LOVE them! #Springwatch

Spent a week down in Charlestown and been so busy swimming and running that I’ve not got to do much birding. But got out this morning along the coastal path. Good for the soul!

Quick jaunt around Muderford this morning. Lots of Black Headed Gulls, and this Cormorant wrestling an eel.

An impressive sight today of some of the 1300+ Swifts feeding over D Reservoir at Tophill Low #swarovskioptik #phonescoping @tophilllow

Lime-Hawk Moth this morning on the neighbours car. What a creature.

@GwynethDavies9 @AlanDaviesbirds Such a beautiful bird. I always feel it’s very understated. But we have a few that sing from the early morning in our small garden. And always wakes me with a smile.

What a handsome fellow.

On @itvanglia tonight: A plea from @RSPBEngland for nests not nets. It comes after @bt_uk, @PapaJohnsUK & other firms put up nets to stop endangered kittiwakes nesting on their buildings in Lowestoft. @Natures_Voice @ChrisGPackham

My birding has taken a slower course since moving back to London, but great to see a Green Woodpecker in Peckham Rye Park. I’ve spotted and heard so many around London in the last year.

Wow can’t believe @ChrisGPackham has just turned 60. Proof that wildlife and the natural environment keeps you looking young. Great guy, great music taste! Keep up the amazing work Chris.

Last night an active osprey nest was felled with a chainsaw at Llyn Brenig in Wales . If you have any information that may lead to identification of the person/people responsible for this horrific act of destruction , please come forward and contact @NWPolice on 101 or online .

Vandal is probably too kind a word to describe the sub-human scumbag who did this 😡😡😡😪😪😪 bit.ly/2Rd5BYf
