Tuyvae douglasboyesi - a newly described moth from Colombia. dx.doi.org/10.57800/fauni…: "dedicated to a young and enthusiast British entomologist, Douglas Boyes @diarsia, who left us too early" Sadly missed by us all @NCLNEG @UK_CEH @savebutterflies @DarrenMarkEvans @RichardFoxBC

@mikepnature I was wondering what took you so long Mike!

@KirstyMartuccio @mcsuk @EuroCetSoc @whalesorg Hi Kirsty & Martin, I have a very similar vertebra which I brought back (prob. illegally) many years ago from NZ. Naturalists there identified it as a Pilot Whale. This seems the most likely. It still adorns our study window sill.

Any #marinebiologists know what species (whale?) this vertebrae might have come from? Found washed up on the shores of Treaddur Bay in Anglesey. @mcsuk @EuroCetSoc @whalesorg

3 years ago. We miss Douglas so much. Thank you all for your your support

BREAKING: Tim Walz just spoke at Aliquippa High School’s Football Practice. That Walz can walk into a football practice and communicate like this makes him one of the strongest communicators in the Democratic party. Retweet so all Americans see this.

Sickening to see a birder promoting the right wing scum that are rioting criminals. Protest does not look like this. If you follow this racist please block him, if not block me. I want nothing to do with anyone who supports these criminals.

‘Warning sign to us all’ as UK butterfly numbers hit record low Please do a Big Butterfly Count before 4August, so there is as much data as possible theguardian.com/environment/ar…

@marcbuzzard Some of the Lapwing chicks have been moved to safety, with another batch to move on Wed. Not all hope lost!

Both happy + sad news in Montgomeryshire this morning. Nest boxes full of Pied Flycatchers and Blue Tits + family parties of Yellow + Grey Wagtails around Welshpool. However, gutted to see a field with nesting Lapwings being ploughed. All 10+ chicks there last week gone 😞!!

@MarinaPurkiss Far too many are like that;

Iberian Chiffchaff, Normandy, 16 May 2024, thanks to Sebastien Prevost. A new bird for me - quite a different song from ours.

@lottieglover23 Happy birthday @lottieglover23 !! x

Birthday pancakes and a birthday pint with my sister in Shrewsbury 🥰🥞🥂🎉

@woodlandbirder That's just the kind of habitat I've seen them nesting in, in old Redwings' nests, in Estonia and Belarus.

@tarkamerl Glad you have discovered more of our patch Tammy!

@tarkamerl @BTO_GBW Good obs Tammy! Surely anting. Rob is impressed too!

Happy Easter.

@MontWildlife Breeding season will start in April for the egrets Fran!

"Not the clearest of pic, but today I spotted a Little egrets meeting on Lymore Pool. Is it breeding season for these birds? Zoom in to see if you can spot all four?" Fran #TheWeekinWildlife #LoveNature #SolaceinNature #Montgomery
