Sphagnum moss is intricately linked to human survival – we relate this now to climate change, clean water, flood risk mitigation, well-being... In WWI however, Sphagnum’s life-saving properties were much more apparent. bit.ly/2zDtpbb @uelsri via @ConversationUK

Save Rang-tan. You won't see our Christmas advert on TV this year because it has been banned. But our message is clear and too important not to share. Will you help us share the story? Have a Palm Oil Free Christmas this year. #PalmOilAlarmCall

WHAT A SIGHT! Our cameraman Phil Iveson captured this murmuration of starlings at @YWTPottericCarr near #Doncaster this afternoon. Displays like this can last up to 15 minutes and is one of nature's greatest spectacles @Natures_Voice

Fantastic film and behind the scenes shots showing the mosaic of habitats that make up the UK. Peatland covers about 10% of UK land area bit.ly/2JgdT8j #PeatlandNation
Naterrer's bats hibernate over winter in tiny crevices. They can be found in strange positions, with some even resting on their head! #HappyHalloween

With Halloween coming up I thought I would set a devilishly difficult Beetle photo ID quiz. So can you name the species? Not sure, follow the link and look for Ocypus olens in the Rove Beetles. britishnatureguide.com/rove-…
