@kenearlys @SecondCaptains I've lost my earbuds so have been reduced to listening on my phone speaker. I neglected to hit pause as I was digiscoping this Peregrine falcon on Friday.

We get asked this question a lot every year, especially in March. Do you know what the correct answer is? 🐝
📢 Please share! Many people, despite their good intentions, put a bumblebee through unnecessary stress by doing the wrong thing. Let's change that.

Pine martens caught on camera playing on children's swingset in Ardnamurchan, Scotland. The owner of the video, Les Humphreys, tells us this is a nightly occurence in his garden.

This tweet went viral & made the news in June 2023, two months after my first concerns about sea surface temperatures.
7 months have passed since then & the North Atlantic has now spent 321 consecutive days breaking daily SST records (see next tweet from @LeonSimons8)

Things began to look very unusual two months ago.
Today the charts need no commentary, they speak for themselves.
This is the Atlantic.

This Lesser Spotted Woodpecker in the hand shows just how tiny they are - amazing.

England should follow Wales where there is NO badger cull. Welsh Government is focused on cattle measures to address bovine TB. Nearly 95% of cattle herds free of bovine TB in Wales in 2022, New TB incidents down 49% between 2009-2022. All with NO CULL! @BadgerTrust @SteveReedMP
Badger culls are not best way to cut bovine TB, report finds theguardian.com/environment/…

Cool facts about planet Mercury:
• the strangeness of its orbit caused astronomers to hypothesize a planet named Vulcan 🖖
• that planet does not exist, and instead, the strangeness proved Einstein's General Relativity
• IT HAS A COMET-LIKE TAIL OF SODIUM.
That's right, the photo below is not a comet, but of Mercury, with its tail of sodium that's created from solar winds! The beautiful cluster of stars above it is the Pleiades, or the Seven Sisters, which by the way is what Subaru cars @subaru_usa are named after.
