Last night was a hunter's moon but can you name the silhouettes here?

the explosive beauty when 14 tonnes of waders take to the air. My diary on one of the greatest spectacles in all English nature. theguardian.com/environment/…

c1/2 of Oxf biology undergrads can't name 1 Brit butterfly. Yet the @Collins New Nat recent titles on bees and shieldbugs primarily uses scientific nomenclature. We're facing the 6th Extinction. A blog asking who the books are for & what roles they play? markcocker.com/blog/

We always talk about Nature's powers of recovery. Yet the recent bounce back - after the worst year ever for inverts - of butterflies, hoverflies and bumblebees (albeit ongoing & incomplete even now) so gladdens my heart 😁

I couldn't be more thrilled to see that this incredible Scottish landcape just got World Heritage Status. The Flow Country. Maybe we're starting to up our act for nature even 40 yrs after it was 1st proposed? I wrote about its impacts in my book Our Place bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cv2g…

very sad to hear of retirement of the most empathetic, broadly inquisitive, gifted member of @BBCr4today team ever. @Marthakearney with her prod (in lapwing interview mode at Buckenham marshes). Radio's loss is nature's gain. Many congratulations to a brilliant journalist.

What a difference 5 seasons makes. The before and after at @Broughton_Hall rewilding project Feb 23 and July 24. Nr Skipton An incredible upsurge of complexity and life

Y'day I showed a young family of 4 this pregnant common lizard (c10cm long) The only Q asked by one child was 'will it bite?'. In a way it was profoundly shocking and clearly there is prolonged, impt work to be done reacquainting children with the living world.

Honey bees or bumblebees Eddie, left or right bees?

Fields of flowers to some horizons. But. BUT Where are all the insects. Banks of bramble flowers in fabulous @hanslope ancient woodland devoid of bumblebees and hoverflies. Are you seeing the same?
