These flowers were found in 130 locations in 1750, but changes in grassland management have reduced this to just 19 sites, with 99% of its population on a handful of nature reserves. Together we can help this species flourish using our best practise guidance: farmwildlife.info/how-to-do-it...

We have just updated our guidance on what and when to feed garden birds: Feed seasonally. Feed safely. To reduce disease, we all need to make some urgent but simple changes to how we feed our garden birds. RSPB scientist @richgreg3.bsky.social explains more: tinyurl.com/mnt284ck 🧪 🪶

Golden eagles belong in England’s skies and their return would be a powerful step for nature’s recovery. But it cannot be done without real change. Habitats must be restored, threats must be tackled and the environment must be made safe again.

Have you paused to listen lately? Chiffchaffs calling, Blackbirds in full song, and the first Swallows on the wing. Which spring sound always makes you smile? 🎵

If we reach 1.5°C, this is what is going to happen: ‼️Every fraction of a degree matters—beyond 1.5°C, the risks and damages from extreme weather, sea-level rise, and biodiversity loss increase dramatically. No time to wait. #ActOnClimate #climate #energy #renewables

The Whinchat hops into our #SpringArrivalSpotlight today, breeding in the north and west of the UK. With its striking eye stripe and warm breast, it's a joy to spot in our grasslands and meadows.

Razorbill fans, rejoice! 🌊 Today's #SpringArrivalSpotlight celebrates these striking seabirds, returning to our shores to nest in colonies within cliff ledges and crevices. Spot them by their distinctive thick, blunt bill with white stripe.

Our CEO Emma Pinchbeck spoke to The Telegraph this weekend about the current energy crisis⚡ We need to spend a lot more time thinking about demand. That is the more straightforward way to help make the UK resilient to future price shocks.

"Media coverage of net zero is more than twice as likely to be negative than public attitudes and is driving a false perception that net zero policies are unpopular with voters."

Interesting new article about UK #biogas production competing for land with food growing and with nature: wickedleeks.riverford.co.uk/features/sub...

Burning trees is not a climate solution

Spain's renewables build-out has structurally decoupled its electricity prices from gas markets. Gas now sets the price in only 15% of hours, compared to 90% in Italy. Countries that invested early in clean power are far less exposed to fossil fuel price shocks. Those that didn't now pay the price.

The Nature Restoration Fund is a lifeline for Scotland’s nature 🌱 Vital work for habitats and species is possible with its support. But nature is in crisis and more needs to be done. Ahead of Scottish elections, we're calling for an increase in nature funding 👉 www.rspb.org.uk/scotland/new...

England’s land is under pressure. Nature, farming, homes, energy and transport are all competing for the same finite space. The Land Use Framework announced by the UK Government today is England’s chance to start making long-term, strategic decisions that are good for everyone.

For today's #SpringArrivalSpotlight we welcome Willow Warblers! Migrating here from southern Africa these small yellow-green songbirds look remarkably similar to Chiffchaffs. Identify them by listening for their melodious, warbling song.

Impact of UK renewables on food production will likely be less than golf courses "Only about 1% land will be needed for renewable energy and much of it will still be used for food, for instance through livestock grazing around windfarms & under solar panels" www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Gannets dive into today's #SpringArrivalSpotlight. Spot the bright white plumage, black wingtips, & striking blue eyes of breeding birds off the UK's coast, where they nest in large numbers. Why not pay a visit to Bempton Cliffs and witness their spectacular plunges into the ocean? 😍 🌊

We need to restore habitats & recover nature before it’s too late - delivering nature restoration *with* new development; not a simplistic & wrong-headed argument that its nature Vs growth. Nature underpins growth! www.theguardian.com/environment/... @rspb.bsky.social @rspbaction.bsky.social

Great news! The Natural Environment Bill has received Royal Assent and is now the Natural Environment Act 🎉 We’re one step closer to nature targets that will make a huge difference for Scotland’s wildlife and wild places. The Scottish Government needs to set these targets ASAP to save nature.
