If you've ever wondered just how small Red-necked Phalaropes really are, they're this small ⬇️ Mallard duckling for size comparison...

As #NoMowMay begins please take a minute to enjoy what can be achieved. Grandfather kept the sides of the drive like a lawn and 20 years of an annual mow rather than a weekly one this is the result (20th April) @LEAF_Farming @NFFNUK @FarmWildlifeUK


Bumblebee queens are emerging. I keep finding them resting on the ground. Several Early Bumblebees today and yesterday this Heath Bumblebee - Bombus jonellus. Check out the pale hairs on the hind leg. @BumblebeeTrust

We need to be strategic about where we plant trees. Rigorous assessments and safeguards are needed to protect important habitats, like flower-rich grasslands from being planted on. Fair incentives will ensure we restore the diversity of habitats that nature depends on. 🧵4/8

We planted this new hedge 9 years ago and are delighted that this week the laying has started! I’m loving seeing it done and know I’m not alone - good for the hedge, the wildlife, the farm and the soul!
