Scarlet Elf Cap For some reason it surprised me that they were about 5cm across In my head I’d thought they were smaller but it was an exciting find for me

I always apologize to my cat, because he really wants to roam outside, by reminding him he is an artificially propped up predator species that can’t be allowed to kill wild birds. He is unimpressed but the birds are safe in my yard anyway

Female Common Earwigs Forficula auricularia are very good mothers. After spending the winter guarding her batch of eggs she cares for the nymphs for several weeks and regurgitates food for them. The nymphs will disperse when they are large enough to fend for themselves. Dartmoor, Devon

Hey @gatesheadcouncil.bsky.social this would be a great idea to help 🦇 for your LNRS

First Noctule 🦇 of the year recorded flying over garden last night about an hour after sunset So it begins 😁

I always check the birds in the trees by Lytchett Bay Rock Lea View feeding station from distance in case they all fly off, hoping for a Brambling. Was not expecting this Snow Bunting sat high in the trees! @dorsetbirdclub.bsky.social @harbourbirds.bsky.social #Dorsetbirds #ukbirding #lytchettbay

🦇 what a shocking disregard for wildlife we have

This is what ecocide looks like.

How’s peoples boycott of 🇮🇱 coming along? Birders I do mean you too!

WAR.... #Iran #Epstein #EpsteinFiles

Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.

‘Access to unsupervised time in wild nature is one of the most essential things we can give to any child, expanding young minds, and the very frontiers of what’s possible in later life.’ 🙏🏻

In a world bristling with evil regimes, none is more thoroughly diabolical than the colonial ’state’ of Israel. www.bbc.com/news/article...

This is cute 🦇

I think this is probably the best photo I have ever taken? Chiffchaff looking at its reflection at the local spring. What do you all think? Hopefully I might get a re-post or two? View full screen. #birds #birdphotography

Horden news Lot of bird song but no Chiffchaff yet Stonechat nest building and first hoverflies of the year Cliff erosion over the winter has accelerated

Where will it end? On Saturday 7 March between 1 and 2pm ,on the Kirk Green, Broad Street, Kirkwall, islanders will gather in vigil for the people of Gaza. The vigils have been taking place since the end of October 2023. Occasionally a few people have expressed the opinion - What has this to do…

Worth a 👃 through this one

Dunnock in yesterdays sunshine! today both have gone.

For those of a certain age reading this will take you straight back to your youth ‘ nothing is so distant and strange as the recent past’

While climate collapse or war seem to be the greatest problems of our time, the loss of darkness is a subtle yet consequential issue. By losing our access to the starry skies, we are losing a piece of Us that has been with us since forever.

... and with Israel using AI guided missiles to attack Iran, just like they did in Gaza, it could be more like another genocide than just an another illegal war meme via Human Reform Politics

🦇 🥰 Tonic immobility aka "playing dead" can happen when an exhausted bat feels threatened. It's one way to make a predator lose interest. This little guy doesn't yet know I'm his friend. #yougotafriendinme #batcare #lovebats

Thoroughly recommend for #worldbookday

I guess all I am saying is you don't need to go far away to appreciate nature. All you really have to do is open your eyes - and maybe your heart - and see...

🦇A motion will soon be debated in QLD Parliament to try to restore the shooting phase out. Sign the action now and call on MPs to vote in favour of protecting flying foxes bit.ly/4l91xC7 @humaneworldaus

Bats provide critical ecosystem services. #Bats 🦇 prevent crop damage and can help reduced insecticide use, three examples: USA cotton farmers benefit by $3.7-53 billion per year Italian apple orchards benefit by €551/ha Rice farmers in Europe benefit by €56/ha www.bats.org.uk/about-bats/w...

We’ve all been there 4am when you only went for a quick drink 🤣

This happened on the first day of American/Israeli aggression in Iran. It is a stark reminder that wars do NOT liberate women. In war, women and girls suffer. Killed, raped, starved, all while they fight to protect their children and families.

El mirlo acuático o white-throated dipper camina por ríos de montaña con corrientes intensas. Este paseriforme casi semiacuático se separó hace ~20 millones de años y hoy existen 5 especies. Más de 6,000 paseriformes nunca ocuparon ese nicho. Selección natural y evolución convergente en acción.

Update Horden news brambles obviously enemy of the people Conservation has got it so wrong

Horden new Spring is returning with all the bird song Good numbers of Dunnocks including 2cyr with paler colours and reddy brown eye Also not seen one of these so far from its natural habitat Don’t think it’s climate change more passage of juveniles after half term

In other news we have our first spawn without bombing or invading any other country
