Blog #74 in our #YorkshireIn100Species series features the impressive Giant Horntail and its parasite, the Sabre Wasp. Their fascinating host-parasite interaction plays out hidden from view in deadwood... @ViperaDan of @WoldEcology introduces us: neyedc.org.uk/100-species/20…

We have now completed over 100 bat activity surveys since 1st May and last night was arguably the most spectacular. Over 20 noctule bats were closely observed foraging at a site near Leconfield, E. Yorks. @_BCT_ @Mammal_Society @MammalNextDoor @BBCSpringwatch @EYBG1

Bluefin tuna have returned to UK waters so why is the Government so eager to kill them?
'Instead of being cherished and protected, bluefin tuna are being hunted to supply high-end restaurants with luxury meat.'

The only scary thing about bats is imagining a world without them. They pollinate, reforest, control insect populations, and more! They make the world go 'round. 🌍

"What is happening in #Santiagodelestero #Argentina is atrocious. Thousands of animals drowning in the canal that goes from Amama to Quimilí. Sofi, a good Argentine biologist friend, is asking for help on networks to spread what is happening due to the inaction of the authorities

Our National Bat Helpline often gets calls from people who have found #bats stuck in sticky traps. If you find a bat in this situation please don't try to unglue it yourself. Get some gloves and place the bat with the sticky trap in a box and call 0345 1300 228 (UK only). bats.org.uk/advice/help-ive-…

Sobering news: The @USFWS declared 10 bird species extinct yesterday. With 1 in 8 birds in the world today threatened, and many more in decline, we must redouble our efforts to protect species and habitats to ensure they never become as imperiled. fws.gov/press-release/2023-1…
Metoecus paradoxus is a curious little beetle, which looks more like a fly. Unusually for a beetle this is a parasite of wasp grubs, which it consumes within their nest cells. Never particularly common, so was nice to find this female along the garden path today. @ColSocBI
Trail Cams back out for the winter. It didn't take too long for one of the local Otters to realise something was out of place. This curiosity is usually short lived. Its always a pleasure to see these animals after spending time studying their signs, pop dynamics and behaviour.
