‘Our economies are embedded in, and not external to nature’. Remarkable to hear this coming from an HMT led review of economics and biodiversity. We need to see this reflected right now in decisions on trade and economic recovery. https://t.co/z3KgaNHd0n

Nests could be anywhere:
Lagoon edges and islands - check before pumping for shorebirds like little ringed plover.

Rock faces due to be blasted - birds of prey

Sand faces, banks and berms - sand martins

Anywhere on the Quarry floor, vegetated, barren, sand or gravel

[NatureAfterMinerals @NatureAM]

ALERT: Returning quarries to production? Please be aware bird nesting season is in full swing; birds could be nesting anywhere. Please check before you start work.
