There are over 1,300 species of bats in the world, and more are still being discovered. Bats account for more than a quarter of mammal species in the UK and around 20% of all mammal species worldwide. #BATFACT via @_BCT_
We are celebrating #WorldOkapiDay! 🌎
Okapis live in tropical rainforests in the Democratic Republic of Congo and these beautiful, endangered animals weren’t discovered until 1901. The first ever video footage of an okapi calf in the wild was captured earlier this year. 🐾

Autumn is here and this year’s young Barn Owls are dispersing. Learning to hunt in good habitat and avoiding road traffic accidents (lower photo) are both key to their survival. Many thanks to Philip Male for the upper photo.
Great day working hard, being awesome and coming up with great ideas to expand my horizons. Now back to being mum and getting ready for networking tomorrow to promote my other 'passion'… https://t.co/E51E7GGhS1

RT if you're planning to help wildlife by adding one or more of these to your garden or a community space:
🌻 Nectar-rich flowers, wildflowers
🐸 Pond
🐞 Bug hotel, wild area, long grass
🍎 Fruit tree
🌳 Native tree, hedgerow
🍆 Veg bed, compost
🐦 Birdfeeder, birdbath, nestbox
The last (but not least) '#Big7' bumblebee species is the Tree bumblebee (Bombus hypnorum). Tree #bumblebees arrived in the UK in 2001 from mainland Europe & are now widespread! They are easy to identify by their ginger thorax, black abdomen and white tail https://t.co/SrmdhOmLwk
Helping mini-beasts, amphibians and small mammals! Here's a #bughotel we made for a wildlife garden in one of our local primary schools. Easy to create by reusing builders' palettes, and fun for the kids too! 🐞🐜🐝
