Dear councils, 97% of UK meadows are gone. So please: if you have wildflowers like ox-eye daisies on roadverges and in public spaces, don't spray them with weedkiller or over-mow them. Let's give pollinating insects like bees and butterflies a chance 🐝

Found a fledgling great tit who was a bit stuck in a lightwell. Following @Natures_Voice online advice we relocated him to ground floor and waited to see if his parents found him - they did!

London has a lot of tree champions. We know that because thousands of you turned out to plant trees with us in December. Here's your chance to honour those who protect, improve and expand London's urban forest. 🏆🌳 #TreeOscars london.gov.uk/what-we-do/env…

Drinks bottles now biggest plastic culprit in waterways, says new report. This chimes with our Thames plastic monitoring data which shows that drinks bottles, food wrappers and wet wipes are the biggest plastic threats. ow.ly/qFJE30omHBd

It’s tempting to tidy the garden at this time of year, but leave it if you can. Plant litter provides food and nest material for birds. This Robin was seen in our #garden this morning. #birds #nests #WildlifeGardening #WildAboutGardens @Natures_Voice

On tonight's #winterwatch (at 9pm), @IoloWilliams2 will be finding out about one of our most elusive and threatened wild creatures... DID YOU KNOW...? Scottish Wildcats have much bigger brains than our domestic feline friends. They are one of our last remaining predators...
