I just wrote to @robertlargan about this.
We need to #DefendNature or risk a future of wildlife decline🥀
The Retained EU Law Bill could take us here as it risks removing protection for bat species
Government must stop the bill now🛑

Three species of Myotis bats seen today at the impressive @poolescavern in first of two National Bat Monitoring Programme winter surveys for the @_BCT_ with volunteers from @PAA_Ecology and @derbyshirebats
Let’s get to 100,000.
We at @WildJustice_org think that that driven grouse shooting has had its miserable and murderous day . We would like to end the slaughter of millions of animals which facilitates it . If you would too please sign here petition.parliament.uk/petit…
A different kind of ‘snow’ in #Buxton today! Nice to see public lawns being left to flower, enjoyed by people and wildlife!
Nice to find the common #pipistrelle #bat #roost where expected during licensed roof strip of listed building. Bat access can be kept and is visible in the tenon joint. @PAA_Ecology #lovebats

We have one of the UK’s largest brown long-eared bat maternity colonies in mid-Derbyshire. Today we @derbyshirebats did the annual clean of droppings for the householder (under NE licence). Just one bat in residence – by June there will be over 200!
Proud to be with #NewMills school children who went to #climatestrike #Manchester today. @NewMillsPrimary @TransitionNM #directaction #protest #changeforclimate
Nice to see some fine stands of greater tussock #sedge Carex paniculata - don’t often get to see these at such a size, and so many! Wonder how old they are... @PAA_Ecology @BSBIbotany
Love it when the #pipistrelle #bats are easy to separate! Nearly analysed all the Derbyshire #batmap data I collected for @derbyshirebats last year. Got 7 species minimum, including rare Leisler’s!

A successful hibernating bat survey in the Manifold Valley in the @peakdistrict with @derbyshirebats & @staffsbats today. Adding to the @BCT_NBMP dataset started by the late Derek Yalden back in the 1970s.
Fun times and a good ‘haul’ of bats at Bincliff Mines survey today with @SteveRoeBatMan and lovely people from @derbyshirebats @staffsbats @BrumBats
Talk about changeable weather-all these #PeakDistrict #moors were under deep #snow yesterday! Easier to #survey now though. @PAA_Ecology
