@BenGoldsmith Predictable and ill-informed. If it’s not cormorants it’s seals - yet we keep overfishing and trading quotas that exceed scientific advice. We don’t have to look further than our own species to see who the culprit is.

@BenGoldsmith @louisa1000 Definitely a good way to protect MPAs if illegal benthic trawling and dredging is occurring.

@TonyJuniper @BBCNews Good work - congratulations on increasing the area devoted to wildlife and habitat restoration.

@TonyJuniper @BTO_Cornwall I think it’s likely a gull ringed for a university of Exeter project. You can email pic to: [email protected]

@RosieP4 @nationalgriduk Who is the ecologist employed by?

@JackPerksPhoto iNaturalist is great - whether for recording your own stuff or validating that of others.

@gnome_alice They are wonderful birds. We had one we hand-reared as a chick ( fell off a roof in Newlyn). It still comes by every day - it’s 28 this year.

@PlanktonPundit Catch and kill is the only way to keep a strict adherence to quotas. So many of the released fish die due to hyperthermia, acidosis or lactic acid induced necrosis so, effectively, are ‘unseen’ = uncounted by the ICCAT UK quota.

@Dartmoor_AC Wonderful butterflies! Always a joy to see them. Their migration, that can take several generations, was one of nature’s great mysteries. https://t.co/ehN06TOjgu

@WriterHannahBT Mine was a grasshopper warblers - always wonderful to hear one trilling.

@BenGoldsmith It’s a sad reflection on wildlife and wilderness. The more out of touch people are with it, then the more they fear it. Sensationalism and ignorance triumph over nuance and understanding unfortunately.

@gnome_alice You’ll be perfectly dressed today then!

@WriterHannahBT A few at Gurnards Head over the last couple of days - plus a house martin.

@susanpenhalig0n Unfortunately it looks like your account has been hacked. I had a couple of strange DMs this morning asking me to vote on a Spotify podcast award which have now been removed. Just passing it on, but it would be worth investigating.

@Dartmoor_AC I’m in exposed the far west, so we’re behind - but the oak is appearing and the ash is behind 🤞🏼🤞🏼

@BenGoldsmith Vulture population down 90% in Kenya, a former stronghold - mostly due to poisoning with Furadan vs lions and hyenas. 4 sp now critically endangered.

[Mark Deeble 〓〓 @markdeeble1]

@WriterHannahBT That’s the sad reality - but we need these victories to foster hope and change.
