Blue tits, I used to like you. Then I started ringing…

This is phenomenal. We now know that Peregrines can hunt migratory birds 3 km above the earth's surface.

We have elephant hawk-moth caterpillars in our garden. Four to be exact 🥰 Just look at that snake-like mimicry!

Rest in Peace Lord Vader

Just completed a sound analysis course and now I feel like a bat call wizard 🧙 🦇

It’s been a while since we had a roast and my oh my, these potatoes crisped up perfectly 👌🏻

Our sunflowers are thriving 🌻

Bird ringing this morning and my god aren’t great and blue tits pecky little bastards.

@25deadbatts Currently not legal & implications with meat/dairy trade as tests currently can’t differentiate between vaccinated and infected cattle. There are field trials being carried out using BCG vaccine and skin test which are combating this issue it’s just when it can progress further.

@kellycherrywild Why can’t cattle be vaccinated instead? It would be far easier to administer to herds.

I volunteered for this research project last year and I’m so happy to see this outcome. The team involved have worked tirelessly across the county to carry out badger vaccinations and it was so encouraging to see farmers wanting an alternative to culling & seeing these results.

@DaniDarkSkies I thought this! We had so many bees last year. Barely any this year except for a few bumbles and a leaf cutter nesting in our bee house. Also seen less bird species visiting the feeder…

WHERE ARE THE BUTTERFLIES? THE BEES? THE CRICKETS? THE CATERPILLARS? I’ve seen two caterpillars since March. The only butterflies have been a smattering Common Blues. I’ve not even had a spider in the house. Is everyone else finding the same?

A political party has to have really REALLY messed up for a map to change colour like this over just five years…
