I warble & scribble about nature for a living. My book 'One Thousand Shades of Green' came out on February 2nd...

[Mike Dilger 💚 @DilgerTV]

Out today...!
#onethousandshadesofgreen is my attempt to help bring out your inner botanist. Wild plants are much more than bed & breakfast to our fauna, & desperately need more champions. So why not take a moment out to enjoy the flowers at your feet?.. You won't regret it🌱💚

@sarahshillabeer Is that Sez from King Eddie’s?!? 😁x

[Mike Dilger 💚 @DilgerTV]

Wow…! That’s a different lifetime ago…! Do you remember who the sculptor was? 🤩💚

[Sarah Shillabeer @sarahshillabeer]

@DilgerTV you have been in our lounge for 28 years !!

[Mike Dilger 💚 @DilgerTV]

Fine work Carl! 🤩👊

[Carl Bovis @CarlBovisNature]

Not every evening you pop out after work and see 2 rare birds, one of which you'd never seen before! 😀
One was a Red Footed Falcon... the other was a big surprise... this distant Night Heron! 😍😀🐦

What a privilege this morning to see both Chatham Taiko (Magenta Petrel) and Chatham Island Petrel in the hand. Many thanks to Dave Boyle and team for their incredible work conserving and increasing the pop of both species, the former now stands at 50+ pairs globally! #Seabirds

[Sean Dunderdale @seandunderdale]

Pigeons. Do you love them or hate them?

I’ll be chatting to Dr Annie Morrad on my show today (without pigeons on my head!)

The brilliant @DilgerTV will offer his view too.

10am-2pm on BBC Radio Lincolnshire

Dear wildlife film-makers, does anyone have any high quality water vole footage they’ve shot which I can use for a conservation film I’m making for a conservation NGO in Somerset? I can pay something for the footage, which will be used in talks and on YouTube. Thanks!

[Mike Dilger 💚 @DilgerTV]

Nice bedroom tick Tim… I’ve only got otter on my garden list while in the garden! 👊

[Tim Appleton MBE ! @Rutlandbirds]

Busy otter fest , too windy outside so filmed from bedroom watch all! @Mammal_Society @DilgerTV @Britnatureguide @_NTGates @Natures_Voice @DominicCouzens @StephenMoss_TV @WildlifeTrusts @RutlandWaterNR @rutlandospreys @RutWaterPark @RutStamSound

[Mike Dilger 💚 @DilgerTV]

Looking like a Sparrowhawk to me… 🤩

[Salacious Skunk @SalaciousSkunk]

@DilgerTV Good evening my friend. Any ideas what type of bird this is? He’s taken to using our bird feeder as a drive through and is nibbling gold finches, he’s a creature of habit as he comes every dinner time, for an hour or two. I hope you are well. Many thanks.
