This is the most incredible demonstration of marine mammal disturbance by shipping I have ever seen. Incredible, if saddening, work. 👏 #science #whales #shipping #marinemammals

Finding out about events like this reminds me why I should log onto twitter more often!

[CycleTouringFestival @CycleTourFest]

All events at the festival are free - we will be asking for donations to cover costs with remainder to charity. We've always been non-profit & organised by volunteers.

To celebrate @Natures_Voice #BigGardenBirdWatch, my dog and I went for a #cycle to see what #birds I could spot in my local @Earth_Trust nature reserve. I had so much fun #birdwatching! Here's to a fab #Friday, I hope you get the chance to enjoy some #NearbyNature #BiketoNature

My local park on Sunday #Abingdon so lovely to see all the #snowman snail trails. #DJIMini2 #snow #Oxfordshire

@JeffHiggott @savebutterflies @MothIDUK @RichardFoxBC Exactly, what I would like to test. Interestingly you can identify the melanistic morphs at the pupal stage!

[Saoirse Pottie @going_pottie]

@gremlingraeme @savebutterflies @MothIDUK @RichardFoxBC Thermo-regulation is one of my leading theories too. However I thought that the dark morphs might have an advantage when it's colder which quite doesn't fit... Excited to see if the pattern continues!

[Saoirse Pottie @going_pottie]

Once again @thejeremyvine covering some really challenging topics... Like how to release a butterfly, hold your phone and keep the window open, all live on air 😂

@samd_official fab attitude to finding caterpillars on his broccoli, keep sharing the love this @insectweek

[BBC Springwatch @BBCSpringwatch]

Clever corvids! 🖤

This rook is dipping stale bread in water to make it easier to eat! The corvid family intelligence has been researched in depth and they've been found to work out many complex puzzles

[Saoirse Pottie @going_pottie]

@verissimodiogo just watched your presentation for the @BritishEcolSoc #ecologylive series. Fascinating research!
I'm interested in improving children's opinions of invertebrates, can you recommend any papers on the popularity of different insect species?

[Saoirse Pottie @going_pottie]

@bodminking Thank you!

[The Outward Bound Trust @OutwardBoundUK]

“Life before Outward Bound was a bit of a mountain climb, only that I was climbing without support, too afraid to reach out to ask for help.” A truly inspirational story from an incredible young person. https://t.co/rR2Pwe4EaA
