@GlobalElephants Great news Scott, Kat and all the team!

@swallowspotting Woodcock?

@1940Andy Happy birthday to you, sir. My cousin, Charles Atkinson, was a Wing Commander and fought in the Battle of Britain. You were young, probably terrified - and phenomenal. Thankyou.

@clairebarker Wonderful footage by @clairebarker. I'm assuming this has been taken recently. If so it is almost certainly a young mole dispersing from its mother's territory, and is looking for a new home. Let's wish her/him luck! #molefacts

Time for the annual outing of my best ever nature spot - Mr Mole!

@katemacrae Mouthparts of a sea urchin - a very large one! Known as Aristotle's Lantern

Are Moles the Cinderella of ecosystem engineers? Creators of seedbeds, opportunity and variation? Subterranean micro-Boar? Maybe they’re just Moles. (There is no Mole emoji 😞)

@CathHodsman yes! Congratulations!

@ElephantAidIntl I could not be happier for you Carol, and for Bo. Wonderful news!

[Dr Rob Atkinson @DrRobAtkinson]

@willtravers Really sorry to hear that Will. I remember our walk last year. You warned me Romy might run off - and he did! Thoughts with you all (and also from my brother). Rob.
