I was rather charmed to hear a great twittering and spot these birds, which I think are pied wagtails, gathering at the top of the tree in the middle of Southgate yesterday. A surprising and lovely thing. @BathEcho @Bathnats #birds
ALT Long-tailed birds sitting in the top branches of a tree at night, looking a bit like illuminated leaves.

Well, managed to deter squirrels from feeders...eventually, but now a belligerent male Blackcap has taken up residence and drives everything away! Fun to watch though...as birds sneak in when he’s chasing others!
River very high too...🤞🏻!

Happy #WorldSoilDay! It can take 1000s years to form a few cm of #soil: essentially making it non-renewable.
This World Soil Day is all about #StopSoilErosion
Below are examples of #soil erosion in the UK by wind, water, co-extraction on root crops (& even soil sampling!) – at Tottenham, London

I have been running @BBSbryology for 3 years now. Just wondering if there was any new blood amongst the BBS membership who would be keen to take over? Sent me a Direct Message if interested. If not, I'll carry on!

We're going to need a bigger pot.
Thanks to Mike Bailey for bringing this moth to @CVRSNews from his garden in Timsbury. The only time I've ever set up for a moth photo and had to step backwards...

Here's our @avonwt response to today's terrible news on the badger cull. I've just been interviewed by Points West for tonight's 6:30 news. It's time to invest in vaccination as a positive alternative to the cull avonwildlifetrust.org.uk/sav…
Government just announced new badger cull zones & Avon is included for the first time. This is a huge blow given that our badger vaccination programme has just begun, showing a cost-effective, viable alternative to culling these wild animals. Our response ow.ly/7elF30pw2r7

Bit dull and damp out there today, which is typical on my day off, but thought I’d post a couple of Ichneumon wasps found around the area recently..
Ichneumon sarcitorius, and Ichneumon stramentor....

Tonight tombstones in St Ouen's churchyard, Jersey are our #lichenstory. Lichens are wonderful, fascinating, complicated organisms. Every year we find we know a bit more about them. The fungal partner has parts that can probe into the surface of stone to maintain an attachment.
