As usual at this time of year we have people on worried about having a bumblebee ‘hive’ in their garden. ‘Are they dangerous?’ ‘Should I have them removed?’ ‘Will they be there forever?’ Here’s a quick #bumblebee #lifecycle thread to explain. Please #retweet for the #bees. 1/14

I’m sure many of you are interested in the plight of our rarest UK Grasshopper…..so a piece I filmed last year about the reintroduction of Large Marsh Grasshopper at Wild Ken Hill with @Stuvigreen should be on The One Show tonight, 7pm on BBC One.

If this is true then I am very unhappy! Please can you stop your fishing fleet using SONAR in this way?@ChineseEmbinUK

Hundreds of dolphins washed ashore in Somalia, after Chinese fishing vessels used powerful SONAR to chase Tunas. Chinese fishing vessels loitering illegally inside Somalia's waters, are causing huge environmental damage!

The last time Lincoln City were in the 2nd tier (1960-61), my dad was playing for them! ⚽️ Were he still alive today, he’d be SO happy! It’s a small miracle. Congratulations to everyone involved at LCFC, the imps! @LincolnCity_FC #up_the_imps

This female Large Marsh Grasshopper, seen today (with friend), is almost certainly the adult of a VERY purple nymph seen at the same spot 2 weeks ago, at our Norfolk Broads release site. 📷 Anna. @CitizenZoo @NorfolkWT @NENorfolkSufflk #Hop_of_Hope

Spotted an old friend this morning! I did fieldwork + a short paper on Irish Yellow Slug, Limacus maculatus, back in 1989. The population was living in crevices in an old stone wall in Huntingdon + mostly active at night time. The local constabulary found it all very interesting!

Interesting clouds over Derby this afternoon. Rather like a horse’s mane. Is there a name for this type of cloud? #clouds

Surely we are seeing just the tip of the iceberg here. Abstraction with impunity? bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c4g8…

More than 150 farms in England caught illegally using local water

Despite 141 incidents threatening environmental damage, just one farmer has been prosecuted.

I’m laughing at this, from the latest @PrivateEyeNews, but it cuts close to the bone.

Many thanks for your help Andrew … … and for pointing out the Turtle Dove which I thought was a small Wood Pigeon!

Fabulous morning at @wildkenhill with @Stuvigreen, Lead Entomologist with @CitizenZoo - helping to reintroduce the country’s largest (and rarest) grasshopper - the Large Marsh Grasshopper. A fantastic citizen-led project that is a joy to see in action.

Brimstone caterpillar on Alder Buckthorn, in Belper, Derbys. A few adult males were flying about - not sure if they are the same generation or the parents’s generation.

📢 This #WorldOceanDay, we demand action for our seas: BAN bottom trawling in marine protected areas. 🌊 Destructive bottom trawling is STILL going on in most of our marine protected areas. 🚨 Let's tell them the world is watching and the time is now. ⏰  @OceanaUK @oceana
