#MyrtleWarbler showed very well today on my first twitch of the year! Thanks to those who sorted the viewing from the next door garden, a lot easier than looking through a fence! No photos as I no longer own a camera. #Ayreshirebirds #Ayreshire #killwinning @ay

The #GlobalGoals are the answer to declining biodiversity & degraded ecosystems. https://t.co/QCEKAVOItV

[John Saunders @jhpsaunders]

I wonder why this is?

[BirdGuides @BirdGuides]

Almost half of the earth's animal species are currently declining, according to new research led by Queen's University Belfast: https://t.co/ssaVdaSpQl

Big news!! Chris has won the court case against CS Magazine and it’s writers. A huge sign of relief! A win against online bullying and harassment. Hopefully will see less trolling as a result 🤞
