Well Done Spain 🇪🇸.

A ROOF TILE THAT’S GIVING LITTLE OWLS THEIR HOMES BACK

In rural Spain, a clever design is helping thousands of nocturnal birds reclaim what modern construction quietly took away.

The Little Owl once nested in old stone walls and traditional farmhouses. But as rural architecture modernized, those natural cavities disappeared — leaving these small hunters without shelter.

So conservationists from the Grup de Naturalistes d’Osona and Grup de Natura Sterna designed something brilliant.

They created the Teula Mussolera — a modified clay roof tile that doubles as a high-tech birdhouse.

Here’s why it works:

It looks exactly like traditional Spanish roofing — preserving the beauty of rural homes.

Its internal tunnel is predator-proof and thermally stable, protecting chicks from heat and hunters.

It allows owls to live alongside humans as villages expand.

And here’s the smartest part…

This isn’t charity. It’s partnership.

The Little Owl is an elite natural pest controller — hunting thousands of insects and rodents every year. Farmers who install these tiles aren’t just helping wildlife… they’re recruiting a silent, feathered security team that reduces the need for chemical pesticides.

Sometimes conservation isn’t about separating humans and nature. It’s about designing a way to thrive together.

Labour is shameful. They told us they wanted to end the cull, but now they've changed their mind.

Share if you're furious and want the cull to end immediately!

@ChaterTodd @bbfo_warden Love the dates on the lead. Great when you find stuff like that.

@bbfo_warden looks like one of @ChaterTodd s record shots 😉

[Jeff Wragg @tykebirder]

@ChaterTodd @bbfo_warden Yeh, know the feeling. Dunno why we used to lug stone slates gas bottles etc on our shoulders?
For some reason, can’t remember why, we didn’t use winches etc🤷‍♂️
These low level roofs are easier😉

@ChaterTodd @bbfo_warden Worked on Bolsterstone church once near Sheffield. It was said you could see the east coast on a clear day.
Any swifts or falcons nesting there?

[Jeff Wragg @tykebirder]

@ChaterTodd @bbfo_warden Smart location Todd, Enjoy.
Used to love working on Churches, lugging stone roof slabs on mi shoulder up long laddders.

It's baffling – sacrificing our landscapes, tarnishing the environment, all to optimise conditions for red grouse so people can blast them out of the sky for fun.

This isn't the world we want to live in. RT and follow us if you agree!

@zingldv @nybirdnews @LDV_NNR @YorkBirding Didn’t the wildfowl shooting season finish on 31st Jan? Also thought wildfowl shooting not allowed on Sundays in N and W Yorks?

There are currently 32,000 calling for the Badger cull to come to an end, surely we can do better than that!

Please sign and RT if you haven't already, it only takes 30 seconds, for the sake of Badgers! 🦡

The badger cull doesn't stop the spread of bovineTB, so why kill them?

Sometimes you need to visualise the horrors of what’s going on. Our message to @UKLabour is simple - stick to your word and end the badger cull!

If we don’t say it nobody else will. @UKLabour well and truly have blood on their hands as they’re set to continue the senseless Badger cull and the slaughter of tens of thousands of this iconic species.

🚨BREAKING: Six water companies in England OVERCHARGED customers by up to £1.5 BILLION.

Companies UNDERREPORTED true scale of sewage pollution for 10 YEARS, which allowed them to set HIGHER BILLS.

Our water companies are not fit for purpose.
