@IanCarter67 Putting photo of the wrong bird doesn’t inspire much confidence 🙄

[Tim Mackrill @timmackrill]

Brilliant to see these photos of White-tailed Eagle G318 who has returned to Poole Harbour after spending much of the summer in the Peak District. Now in her fourth calendar year, her plumage is more adult-like with a much whiter tail and yellow bill. @harbourbirds

Stewardship:
1. Reduce the vegetation to grass and bracken so not even grouse can survive.
2. Build new pens, and tracks to connect them.
3. Release an alien bird in its thousands.
4. Continue killing any predators that visit.
5. Then kill the released birds.

This looks like very clear collusion by the Dorset Police & Crime Commissioner @PCCDorset, @Sidwick4Dorset, to pervert the course of justice over eagle poisoning Dorset shooting estates @BBCDorset ’we need to get our ducks in a row’, he says to @chrisloder

[Ben Goldsmith @BenGoldsmith]

Should be in jail, pour encourager les autres.

[Raptor Persecution UK @RaptorPersUK]

Dorset Police and the Dorset Police & Crime Commissioner in breach of Freedom of Information Act by failing to respond to Chris Packham's request for info on poisoned eagle.

What's going on, @dorsetpolice @Sidwick4Dorset @PCCDorset ?

@DarrenNWoodhead Home and ready for your thoughts 🎨

[Andy davis @apdavis79]

Definitely not what I see every day, and certainly not when I actually have a camera handy. Good day surveying @BTO_Scotland @Borg_Owl_Raptor @RSPBScotland

[Andy davis @apdavis79]

@DarrenNWoodhead Grand, out surveying the back of beyond so will respond evening time I expect. No signal all day 🙄

@MDSuperCluster @SaveTurtleDoves @Gameandwildlife @HOSbirding @BTO_Dorset @BTO_Wilts @Perdix_TrailCam So great to see, I remember seeing TDs coming into Derek’s farm to a leaking hose to drink and putting the connection together. Always clustered around water. Superb work

Hey @RoyalMail thanks for letting me know your delivery my parcel today but over 100 messages is a bit OTT. Think there might be an IT issue?

[Keith Brennan @HawHillFarm]

My farm is untidy. Inefficient. Self seeded trees colonise viable field. Blocked drains create wetland. The margins, yard, old veg plots overgrown with hip tall weeds. An orchards is filled with rotting trees. Parts of it can't be access with a tractor...

[Gordon Eaglesham @GordonEaglesham]

2021. The year the penny finally dropped that #rewilding is actually a great idea. A movement for the mainstream, not the margins. Let Nature unfold without ongoing management & we'll be amazed. The barriers are psychological, not physical. First stop on the road to #ecocentrism

Stunning inversion over the highlands yesterday:

[Rare Invertebrates in the Cairngorms @RareInverts6]

Great to see the marvellous northern silver stiletto fly getting some much deserved attention in the recent @britnats members magazine.

Since 2017, RIC staff & #volunteers have found a whopping 19 new 1km2 sites for the species in the Cairngorms National park 🙌

A reintroduction with the potential to catalyse wetland restoration and protection, reinvigorate communities, amplify our guardianship of wildlife, and reinstate a missing strand of Scotland's ecology. My latest piece for @ScotlandTBP #rewilding #wildlifecomeback

[Andy davis @apdavis79]

@ConopsEnto Is a beautiful bird

[Chris Packham @ChrisGPackham]

Good afternoon @RSPCA_official as a VP can I call upon you to urgently investigate and definitively prosecute this appalling abuse - thus upholding our standards of animal welfare protection . Thank you . RT

[Andy davis @apdavis79]

@PinkfootedGus Pretty sure in know that one.
