It’s #WorldMigratoryBirdDay! 🌍 Every year, migratory birds take on seriously epic journeys. From our UK coasts and wetlands, to the forests of West Africa, we’re working to protect and restore the habitats they rely on along their routes. Read more: www.rspb.org.uk/whats-happen...

Fantastic opportunity to work in the field of #primatology.

[COMMENTARY] Mongabay’s founder and CEO Rhett Ayers Butler reflects on his 13-year friendship with Jane Goodall, recalling her warmth, humor, and ability to make every interaction—from late-night talks to moments with his children—feel personal and meaningful. ** The views expressed are author's.

Tawny Frogmouth (Podargus strigoides): 53cm (21in). This is a species of frogmouth native to the Australian mainland & Tasmania. It is a big-headed, stocky bird, often mistaken for an owl due to nocturnal habits & similar colouring. Fantastic image taken by David Ashley in Perth, Western Australia.

Travelling by #train is my preferred method of transportation. I also enjoy traveling by #bus & #tram - but unless you live in a #city it’s not sustainable ( #time & #money ). Today because my car is in for repair I am improving my #carbon footprint but it’s is taking twice the time & cost.

It was great to be part of this international #paludiculture community for the last few days presenting our work from the Patchy Peat Solutions Project.

landmark High Seas Treaty to become international law The Marine Biological Association welcomes the imminent entry into force of the High Seas Treaty — a historic, legally binding agreement to protect marine biodiversity in areas beyond national jurisdiction.

Finally I get to see the factory which makes #tyres from dandelion milk. What a fantastic innovation.

Exploring opportunities for rewetting #peat around #Greifswald with co-delegates #RRR2025 from @UniversityCollegeDublin @dougmcmillan.bsky.social and others from #PalusDemos what does it/could it look like? #reedbeds #typha #grass for cattle and buffalo #wetwoodlands with #blackalder

#Greifswald by day and …

Many highlights today @greifswaldmoor.bsky.social from #peatland #economics to eating #peat - It tasted like chocolate! An incredible expansion of the #paludi fair from a one man band that was and is #Aldert to this in just a few years. The list of paludiculture products is growing.

Fascinating talk about the conflict between conservation organisations and the #reed cutting industry by Andy Dobson @greifswaldmoor.bsky.social #RRR2025 - a more equitable power model is required.

Interesting points re #gender & #social & #human capital in #wetland management @greifswaldmoor.bsky.social #RRR2025 from UCD’s Dr Kate Flood: 30% of farms in #Ireland are owned by #women many on #peat - improve social resilience to improve ecological resilience (Dr Kate Flood, UCD).

Looking forward to expanding my ‘peaty’ network of academics and stakeholders in the interests of mitigating #climatechange and in support of landscape recovery. @greifswaldmoor.bsky.social #RRR2025 #paludiculture #SDG #biodiversity #waterresources

Interesting, this is why we need the Natural History GCSE.

When I consider my personality I would use the words #nomad #freespirit and #orang-utan. I love to be walking, travelling, exploring. I do not like to be tied and I prefer to be paired, alone or in small, sometimes transient, groups. Travelling to Germany today all these traits will be expressed.

As I prepare for the return of our Level 5 students I will be developing a new module on #animalbehaviour and #behaviouralecology - it is great to have some current research on #cognition

Along with storing water, we need to optimise #waterquality - this is a multi-faceted area of research but key to #people and #planet youtube.com/playlist?lis...

I am looking forward to Presenting two papers at the Renewable Resources from Wet snd Rewetted #Peatlands at the University of #Greifswald. rrr2025.com #wetlands #paludiculture #carbon #GHG

Today was mostly about exploring #wireless monitoring of water within #river catchments to improve efficiencies in #irrigation & #water abstraction with Prof. Jerry Knox from @crancomposites.bsky.social @severntrentwater.bsky.social #EnvironmentAgency using #AI and #IOT

The application of Earth Observation is increasingly mind blowing. Great insights re monitoring for #environmentalservices from #SpaceEast @uniofeastanglia.bsky.social & @esa.int among others yesterday. It was good to catch up with our #paludiculture #LAPWDP+ partners #satelite #EO

As I prepare to travel to Co. Offaly in October to discuss #farming practices on #cutover #peat with #Irish #farmers I think this would provide good insight into #agricultural policy #landuse Any other recommendations? #books #Ireland #SDG #climatechange

I would love an #electric car. I can’t afford one. Instead I have an old Honda Civic which cost me £800. I would like to think my next upgrade would be to an #EV

Wow! #moth @savebutterflies.bsky.social

I imagine that this unkowing destruction of #watervole habitat is probably commonplace across the UK. What is required is a framework for prioritising the #environmental services provided by #ditches & #watercourses with #predator control. #mink #narure www.bbc.com/news/article...

..and you have to ask the question-is there excessive treatment of #fleas? #vet #dogs #cats

Impatiens glandulifera, otherwise known as #HimalayanBalsam. Very pretty but a Species of Special Concern & regulated under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. This #invasive #non-native plant is of particular concern along watercourses. Pretty … but out competing our native flora. #biodiversity

I would agree that #WFH can improve your work lifecycle. If your balance.

Irish peatland standard could include biodiversity credits before 2026, non-profit says carbon-pulse.com/225400/

It’s not rocket science is it-interesting follow up research here. We should be making better use of #wool too.

I would be interested to see how these researchers controlled for the effects of education and social norms.

We really need to manage our #water resources more efficiently. We need more water storage (mini reservoirs and ponds), more intelligent #waterabstraction for #agriculture and #drinkingwater plus landscape scale #naturebasedsutions & innovation around #urban landuse & #infrastructure

Fantastic news, anyone out there monitoring these #whales?

Urban #beavers in the UK, definitely a possibility. This would require protection of our parkland #trees, mature and otherwise with metal fencing like in #Munich and mechanisms for #translocation

Surprised and so pleased to today see a grass snake Natrix helvetica in my parents’ suburban garden pond.
