Liz Truss is on a pro-Trump speaking tour. So we dropped a strategically-positioned remote-controlled lettuce banner 🥬

Here are different ways to limit the kill rate of your cat. A recent figure from the Mammal Society estimates that cats in the UK catch up to 27 millions birds each year, and 275 million prey items overall per year. discoverwildlife.com/animal-…

Great to locate this maternity roost of c. 40 Common Pipistrelle over the weekend. IR and thermal cameras were able to identify the emergence features. Always lovely to get up close to these charismatic mammals.

Watch this amazing little drama at the pond! As a Water Vole feeds, a Grass Snake makes a sudden appearance, and approaches the vole closely, followed by a lightning strike, directly at the vole's head! (shown again in slo-mo) @RSPBMinsmere @ARGroupsUK @suffolkwildlife

Hawaii's new legislation banning seabed mining has come into force. It follows a letter sent by 12 members of the US Congress to President Joe Biden, urging for a moratorium on deep sea mining ahead of July's International Seabed Authority meeting. rnz.co.nz/international/paci…

I’ve been working on my meteor detection camera and it had its first run last night. Several meteors detected. Here’s the best one.

Another Endangered Pregnant Hammerhead Killed in Florida by Mark the Shark: This past weekend in Florida. Mark Quartiano killed a critically endangered Great Hammerhead. This wasn't just any shark—she was pregnant with 35 pups, all of which died with her. In a disturbing display of ignorance, Maxi is pictured here kissing the dead young. This event was glamorized by WFLA News Channel 8 and NBC 6 South Florida as a miraculous catch, ignoring the severe impact on an endangered species. @NOAAFisheries needs to step up and take responsibility for the conservation of these sharks by mandating their federal protection. The continued overfishing of Great Hammerheads can and will lead to their extinction. Please reconsider supporting fishermen like Mark Quartiano and reach out to @NOAAFisheries to advocate for the revocation of licenses that allow targeting of internationally recognized endangered species.

Have you noticed a lack of buzzing & flitting? 🌼Flowers lacking the visitors you'd usually expect to see? #InsectDecline is a real issue & concern; let's find out what's going on & keep bugs on the agenda 🐝 #CitizenScientists needed for #BugsMatter 👇 buglife.org.uk/get-involved/…
Fields of flowers to some horizons. But. BUT Where are all the insects. Banks of bramble flowers in fabulous @hanslope ancient woodland devoid of bumblebees and hoverflies. Are you seeing the same?
