A Bearded Vulture rescued in the French Alps has proved to be the oldest of its species ever recorded in the wild:

Great news! Shooting hares in England to be banned for most of the year. Huge thank you to all of you who signed the petition for this! It only addresses the specific animal welfare issue of shooting during the breeding season, but it's a welcome start. More animal welfare announcements tomorrow.

I’ve a load of old magazines I want to dispose of. Complete sets “BTO News” and RSPB “Birds” both from 1986- to-date. Let me know [email protected]. Maybe a library or institution you know may be interested? If I still have them in the New Year, then regrettably, they’re going to recycling.

#Morocco 2025 We did a fair bit of herping after dark with the added bonus of coming across other animals like this beautiful little Jeboa who wasn't at all bothered by me 🥰 Canon R5 500mm f13 1/250s flash #BlueSkyArtShow #Small #mammals #EastCoastKin #travel #nature #wildlife

If you are craving some more live Falcon nest action now the Sheffield Peregrines have fledged then check out this Hobby Cam from Dorset. Thought to be the only live Subbuteo nest cam in Europe this year #ukbirding camstreamer.com/redirect/j4D...

Hail Mary post here - but I just lost a nice little pannier bag somewhere in Cat Lane woods and didn't have time to go back for it (plus its like the Blair Witch project in there - I wouldn't even know where I'd been) it's blue and green, Linus brand and had a can of cherry coke in it. #sheffield

Here’s the “Salmon of Steel” statue in Sheffield. Had a brilliant afternoon at the University of Sheffield, speaking with the Editors & Publishers Network. It reminded me how journals are a labour of love. We must withdraw our uncompensated labour from supporting unscrupulous commercial publishers.

St Alban's Peregrines Mum is very efficient sunshade ... youtu.be/H3dZIlZnWBQ

St Alban's Peregrines two chicks are 9 days and the little in 7 days old, growing and feeding well ... youtu.be/oNuGOUrm2fY?...

Morden Peregrines. 1/2. Based on their age the chicks may fledge from 20-22 June, though this could be a little earlier and they're vulnerable to accidents prior to this now they're flapping on the ledge. We have 2 males and 2 females, and males tend to fledge a bit sooner.

2/2. Hopefully they'll wait until next week when the weather may be more suitable. If you live, work, or visit the area around Crown House, please keep a look out for birds grounded or in difficulty. Any concerns please contact London Peregrine Partnership on 07807 738699.

Sukhjot Singh "This fierce peregrine mom was patrolling her territory to provide a safe airspace for her newly fledged babies. I thought she was going to attack a few gulls that flew close, but she decided to take a hard right and turn around, offering a rare face-to-face moment with the camera."
