Two out of the (only) three White-tailed Eagles fledged in England in 2025 have since 'disappeared in suspicious circumstances', i.e. people killed them within months. Read this, and see how much effort those people go to, to kill them. We all know who & why. Two out of three. Within months.

Anyone on the other side of the patch wanting to look at some brambles is welcome to attend the Norfolk Flora Group Rubus workshop in mid-Norfolk on 4th July. DM for details.

Plenty of food for thought in this article. Not least the proposal for attempting to shift the larval food plant of the English subspecies of Swallowtail. @patrickbarkham.bsky.social link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Highlight of the morning walk around the reserve was meeting the aquatic ecologists studying Cley's freshwater eels. Thrilled to be shown this Pike, along w/eels & elvers + Three-spined Sticklebacks. So much passion & knowledge of their subject 👏 @linnetincley.bsky.social @norfolknats.bsky.social

Red-belted Clearwing was a lifer for me last week in Somerset. About a dozen of these came to the MYO pheromone lure among old hawthorns. #teammoth

While we worked we saw Small Heath,Large Skipper and Paintwed lady butterflies and some Mother Shipton moths. It's good to know that the floral diversity is inproving and that the 6.5 Ha. site is proving to be a good habitat for these ansother species.... @bcwarwickshire.bsky.social

This afternoon North Yorkshire Police announced the suspicious disappearance of young male White-tailed Eagle G834, the first to fledge from Dorset in centuries. This eagle was special for multiple reasons, not only his historic status but also wowing visitors & school children around Poole Harbour

Absolutely spoiled by the delight of so many butterflies in our garden... @norfolkbutterflies.bsky.social @savebutterflies.bsky.social

A nice hour crawling around in wet grass on Rose End Meadows 😃 A surprise Forester fluttered across the path allowing a record shot when it landed briefly. Burnet Companion 15, was a good count. Another surprise was Beautiful Golden Y in bramble. #TeamMoth
