A trip to #Mull wouldn’t be right without a trip to #Lunga to see #Puffins. Glad to see they have finally put in some markers to educate people.

1/ The latest Winter Gull Survey revealed that over the two decades since the last count, the total number of gulls wintering in the UK has decreased from 3.9 million to just under 2.5 million! 📉 #Ornithology #Seabirds 📖 Read the report www.bto.org/WinGSReport#Ornithology#Seabirds

" THINKER "

Spent a bit more time on this today, and uploaded it to my YouTube channel. The Bittern calling was very close at times, but never seen. #mindfulness #Anglesey youtu.be/QK_cJ0lT-Yg

Spent another day at #corsddyga on #anglesey today. The irises were looking really good, and the bittern was booming . Bit of a #mindfulness thing going on. Oh, and the Hairy Dragonfly had bits of her lunch all down her front (I think it was a Damselfly). vimeo.com/1190766576?f...

Egyptian Nightjar, from the side this time #Morocco #MoroccoBirding

If you did manage to spot it, you were doing better than me, took me ages to see it even when it was only a few metres away. Egyptian Nightjar taken in #Morocco #MoroccoBirding

Dear #entomology BlueSky... I'm looking for help from an expert on European ants. Please help connect me :)

Another mantis showing off the weird movements of their impressive eyes. I love the fresh green color of this one.

Fantastic first day out #birding in a while. Loads of Pied Flycatchers at Ty Hyll. Then Redstart, Wheatear, Dipper, Swallows, loads of Mipits, and after a very long wait a Ring Ouzel along Nant Ffrancon. #birdingwales #spring

The youngest #kakapo alive: Awarua-A3, 17 days old today. Despite appearances, she’s doing well. She won’t be leaving the nest until mid-June. It’s a long breeding season! #kakapo2026 #conservation #birds.

We have teamed up with the Lek It Be campaign to encourage us all to leave Capercaillie in peace (including so-called 'rogue' birds) during this breeding season. #lekitbe 1/4

We're grateful to Brian Cox for lending his voice to this important campaign, which exposes the systematic killing of Gannet chicks in northern Scotland.

Maghreb Magpie portrait today. #morocco #birdingMorocco with @alandaviesbirds.bsky.social

Unexpectedly close encounters with Northern Bald Ibis and the stunning Moussier's redstart today #morocco #birdingMorocco with @alandaviesbirds.bsky.social

I never expected that the first, and so far only, wild bear I would ever see was a white one. #WorldBearDay from 2022, #Svalbard

Another fantastic day in #morocco #birdingMorocco with @alandaviesbirds.bsky.social Cream-coloured courser, desert sparrow, Egyptian nightjar and bar-tailed lark (not in that order).

“Lots” seen today just south of the High Atlas Mountains in #morocco #birdingMorocco with @alandaviesbirds.bsky.social

Maghreb Lark today somewhere south of the High Atlas Mountains in #morocco #birdingMorocco with @alandaviesbirds.bsky.social

Day 1 of the official tour today. Up in the High Atlas Mountains. Found Horned Lark, African crimson-winged finch and amazing views of Levaillant’s Woodpecker. #birdingMorocco alandaviesbirds@bluesky

First full day in #morocco. Bonelli’s Eagle against a backdrop of the High Atlas Mountains covered in snow. And a very convenient Levaillant's Woodpecker. #birdingMorocco

20+ years in the making. There is a long story as to why I did this, I won't bore you with it :) For sale on Teemill, printed to order in the UK on 100% recycled cardboard, in a renewable energy-powered factory. #africanwildlife #jigsaw #jigsawpuzzle graphic-nature.teemill.com/product/afri...

Two Brimstone butterflies and a peacock today at lunchtime. Singing Blackcaps and Chiffchaffs too. Spring.

I cannot remember why, but when I published my original video from our trip to #Namibia back in 2018, I only did it in HD, I have just reworked it to 4k (it was shot in 4k afterall) - without music this time, just the sounds of the African bush. #Africa #safari youtu.be/BuTygKFAhnA

A little bit of extreme distance video of the Bufflehead at Llyn Coron on #Anglesey from this weekend. Not sure what caused it to jump, someone suggested a fish nibbled its toes. #birdingWales

Just uploaded a record to Cofnod from May 2013! I've been sorting through old photos and came across a cranefly image that I had not identified - ran it through Google's image search and it came up with Ctenophora flaveolata, which could be notable. Waiting for confirmation. 🤞

We assisted Cornwall Wildlife Trust with Cornwall’s first licensed wild beaver release yesterday! Four pairs have been released after three years of planning and consultation. The beavers will help to restore waterways, improve biodiversity, and increase climate resilience. [1/3]

Please download these signs, share them on social media and put them up near you to protect your local wintering birds. If you would like A4, laminated copies of these signs please e-mail [email protected], all you need to do is donate for postage. www.curlewaction.org/wintering-wa...

Beddmanarch Bay on #anglesey today. Weather was awful, but managed to get GND, Slavonian Grebe, Pale Bellied Brent (with on Dark Bellied amongst them) Grey Plover and a very showy Kingfisher. And a great coffee to warm up in the ‘new’ cafe. #birdingWales

Just missed out on hitting 100 bird species in January at 98 species. Tbh, I wasn’t trying very hard. A few auks and gannets , plus quite a few grey seals, and nice to add porpoise to the mammal list today on a trip around the #GreatOrme. #birdingWales

Just grabbed a couple of handfuls of rocket from the garden for dinner. Good job I checked it thoroughly, look who was snoozing in my food. He’s been put safely back in the garden. #growyourown

16 years, 9 months and 9 days is the record for the oldest Jay in Britain & Ireland! The bird was ringed as an adult in Skelton, York in September 1966, but sadly, it was killed by a car in the same spot 16 years later. 📷 Jay by Liz Cutting / BTO #Winterwatch

Yesterday it was cows using tools, today its penguins using satellite imagery.

Enjoyable subtitles on Digging for Britain @profaliceroberts.bsky.social

Fantastic day again on #anglesey at #Newborough and #LlanddwynIsland. Not often at this time of year you ‘need’ to take your coat off. New for the year were Crossbill, Purple Sandpiper, Shag, GSW, Coal Tit. Apparently my wife had the opposite over in Talacre where it rained all day. #birdingWales

This was an amazing encounter from 2005 in South Luangwa, #Zambia. A pride of lions had made a kill that morning - that is blood and "stomach contents" all over this lion's face. #lion #Africa #SouthLuangaw #RoadTrip

This is not a model. This is a "fossilised" taxidermy of a Woolly Rhino, discovered in Starunia mine in Carpathian Poland (now Ukraine) in 1929. Dating to the Pleistocene, its exquisite preservation is owed to a mixture of brine, oil and clays. 🧵

The AI assistant on my words-writing program of choice has just suggested it might help me with 'planning a schedule for a seven-day hike in the Appalachians'. I mean what are the chances you're going to go 'yes! That's exactly what I sat down to do!'

A new report from the BTO has revealed encouraging signs for several of the UK's breeding songbirds, following a notably successful nesting season in 2025:

Snow baths for both Ravens today. I’m sure if I watched other birds as closely I’d see how they all have amazing characters, but Ravens do seem special! I wonder, if more people saw what fun, affectionate characters birds are they would care more about them and their habitats.

I just stumbled across a folder full of some random designs I did probably more than 20 years ago - I was heavily involved in the games industry back then. Fun times. There are elements that I developed back then that I still use now, one is very obvious. #graphicdesign #design
