In recent months it have become clear that we need to focus our staff resource for the benefit of conservation. Unfortunately this leave little time for Facebook and Twitter posts, and so ERCCIS have taken the decision to discontinue all social media posts for the time being...

Recorders can use photos to aid the verification process, just like these colourful dahlia anemones (Urticina felina) sent in by Vanessa Ham 🌈

Blown away by the response to my graphic on mining bees! Inspired me to make a more inclusive graphic with some more spring #solitarybee species for #SolitaryBeeHour . This is a Be(e)ginner's guide to some of the most distinctive and widespread species (by no means all of them!).

If I had to fly for food, I'd be far less graceful than this beauty who made us happy in our garden today...

Put your sound on and listen to those wings doing their work... 🐝🌻 🐝

A gorgeous female Cliff Mining Bee (Andrena thoracica) collecting pollen from bluebells. Despite its common name it can be found in gardens, I filmed this in mine in Falmouth. #bees #bluebells

Here at ERCCIS we are asking for more records of hedgehogs, both dead or alive.

Even roadkill records are valuable data for conservation effort, so please send us you records.

There's a very positive attitude within the BTO in Cornwall. Our local Rookery survey went live online on Friday evening to request squares for April and within the first 48 hours 218 tetrads have been requested. Tremendous effort by Members and Volunteers.

@BerryTylan @CwallWildlife @graemelyons @mattprince1969 @Tone_Killick @BritishSpiders @stagnesnature Great work Ty!

Despite the pouring rain yesterday, it was a successful few hours spidering at @CwallWildlife nature reserve, Cabilla woods. Amongst the 24 mature species recorded were two ancient woodland specialists: Pachygnatha listeri and Ceratinella scabrosa.

It was great watching two Short- eared owls today. @CBWPS1 @cwlbirds @CollinsBirds @_ERCCIS @BirdGuides @BTO_Cornwall

A great evening planned with a fantastic speaker. Details on the poster. Find out about hedgehogs and how we can help survey their populations.

3. if you find any animal in trouble then let someone know in the hope they can be rescued - like these lovely people did. HOWEVER, be careful. They are wild animals still so dont get too close. (4/4)

[ERCCIS @_ERCCIS]

Sad news this morning... this video shows otter pups found by a member of the public. Unfortunately, their mother was killed nearby and although rescued, the pups also passed away soon after. A really Sad story. However - there are a few big messages we can glean from this. (1/4)

[ERCCIS @_ERCCIS]

2. Roadkill data is as important as live records. If you see anything alive or dead then please let us know. by understanding where road kill spots are we can hopefully reduce stories like this. (3/4)
