Thrilled to find this Laughing Gull recently at Trabeg, Dingle, Kerry. Really pleased that local birders have seen it too. Still present this morning @KerryBirdNews

Utter sensory overload in 1km of River Little Ouse, among my most amazing river snorks ever. No coincidence that by @RSPBLakenheath, fab feather in the cap of @RSPBEngland. The zenith, this 5 foot Eel, nearly as big as me, in shallows among Nuttall's Waterweed. #MySwim🧵1/24

Important message from @DefraGovUK re #beaver enclosures - "....it is now time to focus on establishing and learning to live with beavers in the wild. We are therefore transitioning to a position where further enclosures will only be permitted in specific circumstances..."


Great to see this landscape-scale restoration at RSPB Geltsdale

At RSPB Geltsdale, nature is bouncing back. The river now flows freely, shaping the land as it should. With rewiggled channels and restored floodplains, wetlands thrive, wildlife flourishes, and the landscape comes to life once more... 🦅🐸🐟

Stop worrying about bats and newts? No @RachelReevesMP – start worrying about the future of our economy if we tear down the nature it depends on. Nature isn’t a blocker; it’s the foundation of growth.

"We are reducing the environmental requirements placed on developers when they pay into a nature restoration fund... they can focus on getting things built and stop worrying about the bats and the newts," Chancellor Rachel Reeves says Follow live bbc.in/3EdL6TE

As @GreeneIndy makes clear the @Natures_Voice Investigations Team do incredible work to tackle the national disgrace that is the illegal killing of birds of prey. So timely that this morning was spent in Westminster where @CHinchliffMP chaired a RSPB #BirdCrime report briefing

A day out with RSPB Investigations. The talent, skill, knowledge, time and effort put in by Investigation officers is incredible, all in a bid to bring illegal raptor persecution to an end. Please report anything suspicious to them and support them. 👇 rspb.org.uk/birds-and-wild…

Well my Estonian group with good friend @TarvoValker are very happy today! 😃Wonderful views of this beautiful female Iberian Lynx (Magarza) in the Sierra de Andujar. She sadly lost an eye due to an unknown injury but seems to be hunting well regardless. 😍

Lead is toxic. That’s why it’s banned in petrol, paint, and pipes. Yet, each year, more than 44,000 tonnes of lead are STILL released into the EU environment from hunting, sports shooting and fishing. This must stop 📢 Read more: bit.ly/3PRqVxb
