Up in the canopy, a Tawny owlet keeps watch. 😍 Owlets leave the nest before they can fly, clambering along branches on fluff and claws. Both parents feed them by night, guided by hungry calls. #SpringStories

Can you guess who this beautiful bird is? Is it a lady or a gentleman? (Hint: youtube.com/shorts/vuTM5...)

Ever wondered how much water or electricity our AI obsession is costing us? How much pollution it might be pumping out? Well my latest video delves into all of that, and explores ways that this environmental cost might be tackled. youtu.be/dhL1Pfrz1VA?...

In my recent video on Pollinators (youtu.be/aYs1-BWYV0M?...) I discuss making sure pollinators have good nesting sites. This shows you the results!

Coming through! These bumblebees are on an important mission 🐝💨 💼 Around now, newly hatched workers are taking over a crucial role previously carried out by their queen: collecting pollen and nectar from flowers. 🐛 This supply of pollen will help feed larvae and support the queen to lay more eggs.

Introducing Britain's smallest bird, who very kindly ate all the pests from my roses! @rspb.bsky.social @btobirds.bsky.social youtube.com/shorts/vuTM5...

How much plastic is actually recycled? Why isn't it more? These questions answered in my latest short! @greenpeaceuk.bsky.social youtube.com/shorts/WfUet...

The oxygen mask generation is closer than you think. Stop treating Earth like a trash bin with no consequences. Demand better from leaders. Choose green policies. Support reforestation. Reject ecocide. Our children deserve clean air, not cylinders. Retweet, like.

While UK bats aren't typically pollinators, they do eat many of the insects that damage crops. As I talk about in my Pollinators video (youtu.be/aYs1-BWYV0M?...) pesticides are a major threat to pollinators, but they're not the only creatures under threat. Bats need the insects killed by pesticides!

This is really nifty! I love reading the new research. I saw some bumblebees when I visited Foxley Wood(youtu.be/WVCk6gCX6IE?...), but I didn't know this about bumblebee vision!

Originally from Central America, they’ve been grown for thousands of years. Tip: Grow them in bags or containers—great drainage & easy to move to sunniest spots. Just add loose soil, water regularly & watch the vines thrive! 🍠🌿 #Gardening Grow guide here: vegplotter.com/grow-guides/...

Despite the cool temperature today, bees were enjoying the Hawthorn flowers. Hawthorn is one of the FIT Count target flowers - read more at ukpoms.org.uk/hurray-for-h...

As I discuss in my recent video on pollinators (youtu.be/aYs1-BWYV0M?...), one excellent way to help pollinators is to provide suitable nesting sites, and protect existing ones.

As I discussed in both my plastics video (youtu.be/RlpKYnr3nNM?...) and the Straight of Hormuz video (youtu.be/aZZtZxCnfKU?...) we can absolutely replace petroleum based plastics, and this is one of the ways that can be done!

WE DON'T NEED PETROLEUM-BASED PLASTICS ANYMORE! "The [bamboo plastic] outperforms most commercial plastics and bioplastics in mechanical and thermo-mechanical metrics while maintaining full biodegradability in soil within 50 days and closed-loop recyclability with 90% retained strength."

Latest video is out! This time I take a look at the marvellous world of pollinators! Find out which creatures act as pollinators, which crops rely on them, what threats they face, and how YOU can help protect them! @pomscheme.bsky.social, @bumblebeetrust.bsky.social youtu.be/aYs1-BWYV0M?...

I was recently visited by an adorable cockchafer beetle, and it inspired me to create a little video on their identification. @suffolkwildlife.bsky.social Aside from making tasty food for bats @batconservation.bsky.social , they're also rather cool creatures! youtube.com/shorts/oUP38...
