Tuyvae douglasboyesi - a newly described moth from Colombia. https://t.co/48328T5Tg5: "dedicated to a young and enthusiast British entomologist, Douglas Boyes @diarsia, who left us too early"

@mikepnature I was wondering what took you so long Mike!

[Simon Boyes @simondboyes]

@KirstyMartuccio @mcsuk @EuroCetSoc @whalesorg Hi Kirsty & Martin, I have a very similar vertebra which I brought back (prob. illegally) many years ago from NZ. Naturalists there identified it as a Pilot Whale. This seems the most likely. It still adorns our study window sill.

3 years ago. We miss Douglas so much. Thank you all for your your support

BREAKING: Tim Walz just spoke at Aliquippa High School’s Football Practice. That Walz can walk into a football practice and communicate like this makes him one of the strongest communicators in the Democratic party. Retweet so all Americans see this

Sickening to see a birder promoting the right wing scum that are rioting criminals. Protest does not look like this. If you follow this racist please block him, if not block me. I want nothing to do with anyone who supports these criminals.

‘Warning sign to us all’ as UK butterfly numbers hit record low

Please do a Big Butterfly Count before 4August, so there is as much data as possible https://t.co/JYDPdmTdyi

@marcbuzzard Some of the Lapwing chicks have been moved to safety, with another batch to move on Wed. Not all hope lost!

Iberian Chiffchaff, Normandy, 16 May 2024, thanks to Sebastien Prevost. A new bird for me - quite a different song from ours.

@lottieglover23 Happy birthday @lottieglover23 !! x

@woodlandbirder That's just the kind of habitat I've seen them nesting in, in old Redwings' nests, in Estonia and Belarus.
