Great turnout for our annual Bioblitz 28-30/6 with loads going on, here @MarikoWhyte leading checking of the bat boxes
One day...
GREAT YELLOW BUMBLEBEES! 😭🐝
It has been a dream for so long to see this beautiful bumble!
Seeing queens happily buzzing away in glorious machair, feasting on Kidney Vetch, with baskets full of pollen has filled my heart with so much joy 💛

Honestly it’s so disappointing. They are supposed to be fair. Look at other marches reported on… why is this ignored?

I have complained to the BBC, please join me, and will take it to OFCOM. BBC did the same by ignoring the 40,000 people at the climate weekend a couple of years ago, yet they reported on a march of about 100 people demonstrating against ULEZ
Just come away from the #restorenaturenow march which thousands attended and so looked for coverage of it on the BBC website; NOTHING. This is a problem. @ChrisGPackham @Feargal_Sharkey @lizbonnin @MeganMcCubbin @georgecmcgavin @MarkAvery @CraigBennett3
Just spent an amazing few days @KneppWilding and saw very little in the way of inverts either in number of diversity despite abundant habitat. Really weird to see sunny hogweed flowers absolutely devoid of insect life.

Up to 100,000 peacefully marched through London for nature and I don’t see it on the mainstream media.
If one person had committed a crime, defaced a building or punched a police officer it would be everywhere.
And people wonder why activists resort to stunts and vandalism.
SO, so many people marching to #RestoreNatureNow @RNNMarch
Whoever forms the next government must respect existence or expect resistance!

Pretty much every nature organisation, 350 of them, tens of thousands of scientists, conservationists and growers march through London to tell the UK the manifestos are woefully inadequate to protect nature and us. Unprecedented. @BBCNews … nothing 👀
Proud to have been marching in London today adding my voice to the nearly 100,000 people who were calling on this and future governments to #RestoreNatureNow @DorsetWildlife @WildlifeTrusts @RNNMarch
On the way into London to join with colleagues @DorsetWildlife and @WildlifeTrusts #restorenaturenow
Today is the big day – let's march to #RestoreNatureNow📢
With @ChrisGPackham, @SteveBackshall & more taking to the stage, family friendly activities & thousands of people marching for nature this is the day we tell all politicians that the public is firmly behind a better future for nature🌱
If you can’t join today, stay tuned to watch live at home👇

Why not take next weekend off from documenting species declines, observing ecosystem destruction & researching conservation approaches that are not implemented?
And instead take part in our biggest ever march for nature - demanding effective action now

Our Bat Walk at Dorset's Bere Marsh Farm was led by @MarikoWhyte from Dorset Bat Group. Participants caught glimpses of bat fly pasts and we made recordings of soprano and common pipistrelle, and noctule bat species. Our next Bat Walk is in the Autumn.
