Continuing our #Nightjar theme this week… 🌙🐦

Fantastic to ring these Nightjar chicks, which will now be reared by their dedicated dad. Even better, finding the female on a new nest with the 1st egg of her 2nd brood already laid.

An incredible breeding season in full swing!

26/6/21 - The road verges of Cumbria are at their spectacular best right now. A mass of spectacular colours including Ragged Robin, Meadow Vetchling, Crosswort, Pignut, Melancholy Thistle and Northern Marsh Orchids, this verge near Tebay is a botanical haven #wildflowerhour

[Dr Richard Bate @thenewgalaxy]

Someone please explain to me how the annihilation on the right of this image is beneficial for wildlife, compared to the genuine wildflower meadow on the left (let alone whatever preceded the one on the right).

[Dr Richard Bate @thenewgalaxy]

Ugh. This greenwashing fake meadow nonsense is being peddled everywhere at the moment.

[Peter Allard @Yarmouthbirder]
