Caught in our garden moth trap. What an amazing looking moth!

Why do I keep seeing this @AmazonUK advert for bird proof squirrel feeders on my @Microsoft 365 homepage? Is someone having a laugh? Thoughts @Natures_Voice @_BTO ?

What do the ‘Belties’ have to do with the rarest butterfly in Wales?🤔

Take a look at our latest blog - it's definitely worth a read! 👇

@ecology_cymru I'm pretty certain it is, being that hairy, but will await confirmation from a real expert. Do you belong to the SEWBReC Facebook Group? It's a great place to get local IDs checked. https://t.co/JGiAJGm3mo

Please join us at the @NaturAmByth High Brown Fritillary Project Bioblitz at Old Castle & Ogmore Downs (St Brides Major) on Saturday 25th May (10am-4pm).
We would love to gather some of our amazing recorders to support the event. See poster & comments for booking/other details.

@elisjames That was very cool. My entry is Happiness Is A Warm Gun by The Breeders … I knew it before the original which sounds weak by comparison. https://t.co/M1VKIHLIdf

.@swlanaturaleye Please share this exciting opportunity for 10 artist residencies for the @NaturAmByth project in Wales https://t.co/xmy1wwml11

@SPTomos My favourite brutalist building … the interior is amazing too. Very sad that it’s due to be demolished.

[Adam Rowe @roverrowe]

@SPTomos @Lee_flaneur That would’ve been a good choice … just never park there! I used it yesterday and got charged £23.80 for a lunchtime stay. At least it now smells slightly more like a freshly washed toilet than a freshly used one.

@jayrayner1 I hope this is taken seriously, not flippantly. Vegetarians eating out want to be treated to vegetables and pulses cooked in delicious ways with cream, butter, eggs or cheese. This food has been removed from menus in favour of lazy, processed fake meat.

[Adam Rowe @roverrowe]

Anyone fancy coming to join the team at SEWBReC?

[SEWBReC @SEWBReC]

Join the SEWBReC team! We are recruiting for two roles:
Temporary Biodiversity Data & Enquiries Officer and
Biodiversity Events & Outreach Officer
Both roles are part time (0.5FTE), but we will consider combining to form a full time role. Details here: https://t.co/qgStdt9Bik

@HighwaysSWEST Was caught up in this last night. Followed diversion route which clips the Bristol Clean Air Zone. Paid my £9 (as I was fined before after being directed out of the Bristol Balloon Fiesta). I expect there will be lots of £69 fines landing on doormats in a few weeks!

A twenty year update from our CEO Adam highlighted the Recorders, data, staff and organisations which have helped SEWBReC go from strength to strength since 2004

[Adam Rowe @roverrowe]

I just tried to opt out of receiving paper bank statements for my business account. Unbelievably in 2023, during a climate emergency, apparently @CooperativeBank cannot stop printing and posting statements (which all get opened and ultimately shredded). Can you explain this?

[SEWBReC @SEWBReC]

@MikeCram5 @UnionChapelUK @Lloyd_Cole @BlairCowan6 Lloyd has a beautiful song called Butterfly, but it’s don’t think he’s a BC member!

[Adam Rowe @roverrowe]

An amazing night at the beautiful @UnionChapelUK to see @Lloyd_Cole with half of the Commotions (Neil Clark & @BlairCowan6) and the incredible percussionist Signy Jakobsdottir. What a show! I ignored the usual guidance not to meet your heroes.
