A walk up Tom A Choinnich (Glen Affric) with @erichens11 & @TommySaunders19 gave stunning panoramic views, 15 Ptarmigans, 3 Ring Ouzels and most surprisingly, 3 Twite. Superb! Lots of bird ringing in our garden today too 😄

A quite brilliant day at/in sea from Donsol to Ticao Island with two Streaked S’waters & 2 adult Pom Skuas on the crossing, then a superb Black-tipped Reef Shark, Banded Sea Krait, Tomato Clownfish, Humphead Bannerfish, plus lots more in the pristine coral reefs. #Philippines

Plenty of good forest and excellent birding not too far from Manila. In addition to the below, Bikol Ground Wblr, Lemon-throated Leaf Warbler, Calabarzon Babbler, and best of all, six Purple Needletails!! A Philippine Palm Civet was luckily seen last night. #Philippines

Studying the effects of saltwater intrusion with the #Salbia team in the Gambia River🇬🇲, a thread 🧵 1. It was a real privilege to join the #Salbia team in The Gambia to deploy some @OpenAcoustics HydroMoths alongside their comprehensive sampling campaign (see below 4 more )

An excellent six days searching for a variety of butterflies in Bulgaria. Despite a heatwave with some days experiencing 40+ Celsius, we still managed 70 species... the search for a Cynthia's Fritillary continues, however; maybe a third time lucky.

Unusually cool and wet weather on my @naturetrektours trip to the Vercors 🇫🇷 but the flora is certainly delivering, particularly orchids (my favourite, the Drome ophrys) and gentians. Large-flowered Butterwort was a treat today!

A decent day, finishing with a swift half in Kendal after seeing the Hooded Merganser. The Stejneger’s, White-winged & Surf Scoters were easy enough at Largo Bay mid-morning. Nearly came home with this cheeky lad too.

It's important to remember that as the world hunkers down, wildlife carries on. Our rangers will be using our new hashtag #aigaswatch to share the nature on our doorstep and we would love you to join us. Tag @Aigas and use the hashtag #aigaswatch to show us what you're seeing 🐾 – at Scotland, United Kingdom

Anthropogenic noise affects human & nonhuman health alike, and species can respond to noisy areas in different ways. Emily Richens @erichens11 asks "Does traffic noise differentially affect vigilance behaviours in dwarf mongooses depending on noise type and context?" #ASAB19York

From sea to plate: how plastic got into our fish

From sea to plate: how plastic got into our fish

Eight million tonnes of waste plastic ends up in the sea each year. Fish eat it - and then we do. How bad is it for us?
