I often wonder how much of our precious wildlife is indiscriminately killed on our roads. Accurately logging everything would be nigh on impossible but if you do see a carcass it would be great if you could take a minute to log it here. P.S. 6000 reported in 2025, and 200 last wk

@GrahamDenny9 @Jes_Squirrell @TrooperSnooks @OakbankGame @blackgull @herdyshepherd1 @RosieP4 @LeilaniDowding @jimthekeeper Given their knowledge and understanding of agriculture, biodiversity and the rural economy this shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone. It wouldn’t be a surprise if they were found to be using the same AI programme to dictate their policies and political direction.

Tame Rabbit is the only picture they could use ! Zero knowledge! Zero hope for nature ! Will BNG support a new hutch and run ! 🤦‍♂️ @Jes_Squirrell @TrooperSnooks @OakbankGame @blackgull @herdyshepherd1 @RosieP4 @LeilaniDowding @jimthekeeper

I scarcely post on here these days, but here’s a few photos taken from my garden, ( in the city of York) Give it a suitable habitat home and it will come…..

@TonyJuniper We all of us, have a choice between action and in inaction. Though I am convinced that IF we truly want to help the survival of these and other species and are prepared to look openly and objectively at the challenge of the situation that the necessary measures will be clear.

If we are to halt & reverse decline of the Curlew then difficult subjects must be tackled, including the high density of predators we have across the country - including foxes, crows & badgers. All wonderful creatures as well, but too many is a big issue for ground nesting birds.

@TonyJuniper @BloomsburyBooks Influencing and Changing the often biased views, politics and actions of those with sufficient influence to effect a change.

What is the gravest ecological challenge? Global heating, mass extinction, pollution? My new book, ‘Just Earth’, published by @BloomsburyBooks & which is out in March, suggests it’s actually social inequalities.

@TrooperSnooks Think the only people who are anything like off the target list are themselves and the unions, and the rest of us are in their sights.

This government hates nature. gov.uk/government/new…

Found this on #Bridlington north beach, now residing on top of a post next to the lifeguard station in hope of being reunited with owner

A view of ‘the Ash tree over the hedge’ with Noctilucent clouds from last night #noctilucentclouds #noctilucentcloud

@CarolineJamesPh what an incredible moment. great setting with the foreground really bringing this image alive.

Aurora Borealis, Marys Shell Cleveleys and a waxing crescent moon setting with earthshine. Now what more could a girl ask for. what a fabulous night this one was taken around 1am.

@marksmcneill epic framing!

the calm before the solar storm last night views check out the massive sun spots

@joncowap Adding my name to the tawny mining bee list

Ok Twitter hive-mind (pun intended). I’m hopeless at identifying #insects. This is clearly a bee of some sort I think? A honey bee or something else? It’s very red/orange in colour. I await your wisdom….

Two close encounters. Working in the garden after tea, bent over & looking down with head about 4 ft from the ground only to see a sparrow hawk fly under my nose in pursuit of a blackbird! Then walking to the polling station I saw a barn owl and called it in to within 20 feet.

@des_farrand Yes, saw one pop up a few years back during a very dry summer. It popped up and was on the surface trying to get back underground but couldn’t break the sun baked surface, so I grabbed a spade and broke the surface to help. It worked and it went back on its way.

Serious Question. Has anybody seen a mole pop up out of a mole hill?

@OW_Photography But don’t know where the island but fits

@OW_Photography I would guess Manchester

Just a phone snap from a city visit yesterday. But who can guess the city? A clue; now on an island (btw not really helpful) Oh and in the UK

@sonsrap10 @IoloWilliams2 @moorsvalley Look like, alder beetles

Hello @IoloWilliams2 I am at @moorsvalley in Dorset would you know what these beetles are please? Take care of yourself 🦊
