@PiranhaPete1 @BritishSpiders Yes it was around a 1cm. I’ve been seeing very large ones around the house recently, they would certainly have dwarfed this one. Thanks for the info.

[Sam Hockaday @SamHockaday]

@BritishSpiders I believe this is a young house spider? Is it usual to see one so small at this time of year? So used to seeing the large adults.

[Sam Hockaday @SamHockaday]

@BritishSpiders Fascinating article, thanks so much 🕷️

[Sam Hockaday @SamHockaday]

@BritishSpiders are you able to identify this spider? Found in my kitchen in Bristol. From my research I’m guessing megalepthyphantes nebulosus?

With ⁦@Keir_Starmer⁩ pledging to unite Britain&build back a nation’s & trust in government brick by brick I hope ⁦@UKLabour⁩ show the nature leadership we so badly need starting with the easiest act: mandating swift bricks. In Labour’s hands is swifts’ existence.

Vote for nature this election day 🗳️ #BirdsAtPollingStations

[Hannah Bourne-Taylor @birdshannah]

Whoever is elected will have the power to destroy nature or recover it. They will have the existence of many species including swifts in their hands. And we will give them that power.

[Sam Hockaday @SamHockaday]

It’s the start of #SwiftAwarenessWeek! Just look and listen to these magnificent birds 😍❤️

[WWT @WWTworldwide]

Approaching this week with the supreme confidence of a gull riding a swan.

Dear @BBCNews we would like to know why you didn’t cover a major news event in #London yesterday. Between 60-100 THOUSAND people marched at the #RestoreNatureNow. It looks like you are picking what you think is newsworthy. Isn’t that called bias? Regards, British wildlife.

[Sam Hockaday @SamHockaday]

@carla_denyer Will you support a mandate on swift bricks? We can’t have another government that outright denies this simple solution!!!

[Hannah Bourne-Taylor @birdshannah]

‼️The #Conservative government has just formally said NO to any action to secure urgent, vital nesting habitat. Please use your voice&vote to tell ALL MP candidates about the need to mandate swift bricks. Your voice is powerful right now. ⁦⁦@ZacGoldsmith⁩ #WorldSwiftDay

[Sam Hockaday @SamHockaday]

@ThangamDebb I have emailed you but it didn’t seem like this was very important to you based on your response! Will you support a mandate on swift bricks? We CANNOT have another government that outright denies this simple solution!!!

Labour pledges to ban foie gras imports. FINALLY. How we can enjoy this knowing how it has been made is beyond me. ⁦@LibDems⁩ what is your decision on this? https://t.co/C556GCmG23

[Hannah Bourne-Taylor @birdshannah]

‘we stand at a moment in history when nature needs us to defend it’ - ⁦@SteveReedMP⁩ 👏 how about pledging to mandate swift bricks - urgently essential nesting habitat for rapidly declining 🐦‍⬛- as part of ⁦@UKLabour⁩ access to nature&urban biodiversity pledges?

[Sam Hockaday @SamHockaday]

@WriterHannahBT Today at 9:52am! A wonderful day it is 🥳

[Sam Hockaday @SamHockaday]

First swifts of 2024 spotted from this point, feels like it’s going to be a great day 🥳

[Birda @birda_org]

Happy Earth Day!

Conservation is a huge part of Birda's mission and your birda sightings all go towards science. We have sent over 2 million bird sightings to the GBIF (Global Biodiversity Information Facility) to help nature. Thank you for helping nature!
