A real treat on the trail camera last week-an #otter on the Nadder at Quidhampton! #QNP #autumnwatch @BBCSpringwatch

[Nick Tomalin @NickTomalin]

Excellent point, well made @urbanbirder

[The Urban Birder - OFFICIAL @urbanbirder]

How is possible to go hunting or fishing yet it’s against the rules to go birding?

On a lesser note, why does the media still insist on calling anyone with binoculars a Twitcher?

Lazy journalism & pro-hunting government.

Is she the first leader? Well done @jacindaardern #ClimateEmergency

Jacinda Ardern has formally declared a climate emergency and commits to net-zero emissions by 2025.

THANK YOU @MairiGougeon @strathearnrose

Scottish Government commits to begin developing a licensing scheme for driven grouse shooting in Scotland, now.

This is hugely significant. More comment later but for now, it's time for a drink.

Excellent news on a Friday morning! Well done @WWTworldwide and others!!

HISTORY HAS BEEN MADE! 🎉 🎉 🎉

Lead shot will finally be banned in ALL EU wetlands! This historic ban paves the way for a healthier, toxic-free future for our environment, wildlife and people – at a time when the stakes for our planet couldn’t be higher 🌍 🦢 💙

A neighbour has found a hibernating hedgehog in leaf litter when building a greenhouse. She's left it there but wants to move it to do the work. Any advice please? @PTES @hedgehogsociety #hedgehogstreet

[Nick Tomalin @NickTomalin]

Seems like an excellent set of plans. Now just to make sure it happens! @DefraGovUK

[Defra UK @DefraGovUK]

A positive bit of research that's more relevant than ever. A win for farmers & for the environment. Thanks @alicegroom2 for sharing. @NFFNUK @FarmWildlifeUK @Natures_Voice

[Alice Groom @AliceGroom2]

In the most comprehensive study to date, researchers found that greener farming methods don’t compromise yields https://t.co/cBrcwI25Uw via @AnthropoceneMag @DefraGovUK

What on earth could make @susie_dent come up with this word of the day?! #AmericaDecides2020

[Susie Dent @susie_dent]

Word of the Day is 'snollygoster' (19th century, US): one who abandons all integrity in favour of power.

Sadly these two robins were misidentified as chickens! #biggardenbirdwatch #robins @Natures_Voice @imacelebrity @vicderbyshire @Mo_Farah

Saw these 2 Robins in Wales this week 😳😳 #breakfastbirdwatch

Too good not to share #COVID

[Nick Tomalin @NickTomalin]

Seems a shame that the scheme wasn't given more time given the aspirations for greening were good, even if it did need tweaking. @wiltscouncil @SalisburyTransi

[Wiltshire Council #WiltshireTogether @wiltscouncil]

We've taken the decision to suspend the People Friendly Salisbury scheme indefinitely from the end of this month.
