I can't believe the Bridgerton verison of 360 is now a meme because it was legitimately going to be my walking-down-the-aisle song and I feel robbed 😭

I was right!! Not for me, but they're back in the county so I'm taking that as a win 😊

I'm saying it, today feels like a first-for-the-year wheatear day...

I get married in t-minus 27 days and I am starting to panic a little bit so here's a picture of a woodcock to take my mind off it 🫠

First butterfly of the year! A beautiful Peacock 🦋

There's just something so reassuring about a toad. Toads are so sturdy and strong. They move with purpose and deliberation, seeming never to be in a rush. Unbothered and unwavering. I need to be more toad.

"Ow, my socks have run out of battery." Is a sentence I never thought I'd say.

1/ We need you to make sure your local Greenspace is included on our map ready for the Birds in Greenspaces survey! ➡️ app.bto.org/birds-in... You can use the map to search for mapped greenspaces near you, suggest new sites and changes to existing ones if there's something we've missed!

Mackenzie Crook needs to be making more TV shows because I LOVE them!! Only one ep in to #SmallProphets and I'm here for it! The wildlife, the nature, the folklore 🥰🌳🍄

Catch 'em with a bit of the ol' razzle dazzle ✨️ (and a BTO licence, obv)

✂️ Yesterday I finally responded to @agakowalska.bsky.social’s challenge to make a collage from a single piece of packaging. I present to you a green (tea) woodpecker, made from a big Yorkshire Tea box. It was fun and I’ll be rooting through our recycling bin for more materials later on ♻️

Such a lovely weekend with the Nature Nerds at a snowy Nant yr Arian ❄️

Autism is wild cuz tell me why it's taken me OVER THREE HOURS to realise that I've been in tears all evening because I'm actually really happy 🙃

Ooof. Writing out your wedding guest list is a brilliant way of finding out you don't actually know the surnames of most friends 🤣🤣

A baby bat in my Christmas card 🎄🦇

I illustrated a whole bunch of garden birds for this project. Sign up now for a free resource pack !

If really awesome people could stop dying this year that would be great, thanks 😔

MOFF!! Awesome new addition to the nocturnal sleeve.

Been at @rspb.bsky.social Minsmere less than 20 minutes and already had one of the best birding experiences of my life - FIVE bearded tits feasting together on the reeds. Absolutely phenomenal.

I just got ID'd buying tipex. Happy 33rd Birthday to me 🥳

If not supposed to eat raw elder berries, why so delicious???

Bats! Being able to hear them with my own ears (sans detector) is such a privilege and something I frequently forget about when around traffic and other urban noise 🦇

A few #recordshot photos of very fluffy fulmar chicks on @skokholmisland.bsky.social 🥰

I absolutely cannot wait to read this book!!

I wonder why this hedgehog is behind bars... 🤭

I had such an awesome time at @globalbirdfair.bsky.social this year 🌟 This time I took part in a podcast, a panel discussion, and chose some tunes for folks to enjoy during the evenings. It was so awesome to catch up with friends and to make some new ones! 💖

Love a toad 🐸

Big moff!!

The annual storm-petrels in Portugal project (established in 1990) is underway with 35 ringed so far, plus a UK ringed bird #2787269. Data are submitted to the Portuguese ringing scheme, CEMPA. #ItsNeverTooLateToStartALongTermDataset

The Lidl free fruity spins promotion has ended and I'm genuinely sad about it 😔🍌

There are so many money spiders perpetually in my clothes and hair, I'm gonna start charging them rent

We commissioned an expert legal opinion that concludes the Government's assertion that the Planning & Infrastructure Bill 'would not reduce the level of environmental protection provided by existing law' is "obviously wrong as a matter of law". #PlanningBill wildjustice.org.uk/general/plan...

maybe the best method I’ve found for waking up early is to turn off my alarm the night before and clearly state, “I can’t wait to sleep in tomorrow.”

I wonder if the farmers who go on about what a "threat" birds of prey are to their lambs are the same farmers who slice all their lambs' tails off on a random Wednesday afternoon... 🤔

The sun be sunnin' a lil too much today already 🥵

Curlews #WorldCurlewDay

Not me literally sobbing when @joehendry.bsky.social answered Randy's open challenge at #WrestleMania 😭

Four days in Norfolk and I end it by seeing not one, but TWO bittern 😭

The @rspb.bsky.social #BigGardenBirdwatch results are in, and it's worrying to see declines noted including in Starlings. @bbs-birds.bsky.social shows a 54% reduction in the UK population from 1995 to 2022. Help monitor bird populations near you by taking part in our vital surveys ➡️ www.bto.org

Whenever people see me out pond dipping they always assume either 1) I'm working and leading the activity, or 2) that I'm studying. Neither!!! I'm having FUN! Y'all should try it sometime.

Okay, so I'm not a massive fan of certain aspects of the show, but I cried solidly for the last 10 minutes of #LoveOnTheSpectrum S3 finale 😭

Caught up with the @norwichcathedral.bsky.social peregrines today 🥰 (if you zoom in, he's there, I promise)

Society: "Oh, what beautiful daffodils. I just love them. That beautiful yellow colour. It's my favourite. The brightness just makes me feel so happy & grounded. A reminder that it's spring." Also Society: "EW GROSS DANDELIONS. I HATE THOSE F*****S. POUR LIQUID CYANIDE ON THEM NOW!!! Me: 🥲

As a near-compulsive pan species lister, it's so freeing (and a bit weird) to go somewhere outdoors and not write anything down! Is this... relaxing? 🤔😅

Biodiversity decline includes the degradation of behavioral and cultural diversity of animals.🧪🌿🦉 #wildlife In the last issue of Science: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/....

How many people contribute records to county and local bird reports in Wales? How much data do those county recorders manage and through which channels? How wide is the coverage? More detail in Alt Text. Number-wrangling while I'm writing the @birdsinwales.bsky.social 2024 report. #BirdingWales

Monkey time in Bute Park! I ripped my jeans 😬
