Nature and photography loving ecologist...

Until today, I've only known these flowers as Lesser celandines. I had no idea that they're also called Cheesecups, Butter and Cheese and Brighteye. But I think my favourite is their Welsh name, Lygad ebrill, meaning 'April's eye'.

At the risk of alienating yet another economic sector, I've just read a paper which suggests that keeping honeybees is even more harmful than I thought: massive suppression of wild pollinators, and much poorer reproduction of wild plants. https://t.co/Ot659FzmxI

[George Monbiot @GeorgeMonbiot]

When 57 million large omnivorous birds are released into the countryside every year, so that they can be shot for "sport", they trigger an annual environmental disaster.

Fantastic news! The French Council of State just stopped Turtle Dove hunting in France in a case brought by @LPOFrance (BirdLife France). Though the season opened 29 Aug & already 6500 of these precious birds are shot, the rest of the 17,500 quota now safe https://t.co/qDsyuy22vg

The new Roost webpages are now live. We aim to promote bat roost mitigation and enhancement and best practice throughout the built environment. Find out more here: https://t.co/UvZR0vHIKm

Biodiversity experts and professionals must be at the heart of policy- and decision-making if we are to reverse these declines https://t.co/aFgoj6VvXb

We need your brains 🧠🧟‍♂️!

Do you have any ideas for reducing waste and the use of unsustainable materials in our working practices? E.g.
alternative materials or practices for badger bait marking 🦡?

Great talk from Ian Davidson Watts on IR cameras & surveying tree roosts. Interesting that his research found that most emergence's occurred after the surveyor was no longer able to see the roost feature they were watching without IR cameras! #NatBatConf

Populations of lesser horseshoe bats have dramatically decreased mainly because of pesticide use and land change. Some solutions to restore populations include historical conservation, cross habitat management, restraint orders, habitat construction and cave grates #NatBatConf
