Extinct. No more. That’s it gone.
After four weeks of careful searching, senses on edge as they scoured the island for any sign of this species, they found only one, solitary Pipistrelle. Here is a recording of its final echolocation call before it went eternally silent.

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?

He was immortalised in the great Dutch book 'Sinagote' but is this the end of his journey ? Yesterday he looked like he had been in the wars - a gashed flank and a hanging leg. Could any Norfolk birders let me know if they see him @GlobalFlyway @WGLepelaar

A lot of wildlife relies on insects as their main (or only) food source. All UK bat species eat insects only (some do eat spiders too) so without insects we wouldn't have any bats!

For Small Skipper (T sylvestris) and Essex Sk (T lineola) many try to use the underside of the antennae. However for males the difference in androconidial patch on the forewing is much easier to see: short and parallel to the veins in T lineola, long and not parallel sylvestris.

BREAKING ‼️‼️‼️
📢🚫💔 NCC's Dreams Crushed! Natural England Denies License for Road Construction. Game Over! 💔🚫🔚
🚧🌿 In a devastating blow to NCC's plans, Natural England has officially announced that they will not grant the license required for the construction of this ill-fated road. The end of the road is here?! 😱
🔒🚫 This decision should serve as a wake-up call to @NorfolkCC and all proponents of this doomed project. It's time to accept defeat and abandon this futile endeavor. The license denial from Natural England is the final nail in the coffin. 💔⚰️
🌍🌳 Let's rejoice in this victory for the environment and wildlife. Our precious habitats and ecosystems may now be spared from the destruction that this road would have caused. Mother Nature has prevailed! 🙌🌿
✊💪 This outcome showcases the power of public opinion, activism, and the tireless efforts of those who fought to protect our natural heritage. Together, we have proven that we can stand up against misguided and destructive projects. 🌱🚫
🙏 Let's hope that NCC will learn from this experience and prioritize sustainable and environmentally friendly solutions in the future. It's time to invest in alternatives that will benefit both our communities and our planet. 🌍💚
We really hope this is the end🤞- we know NCC will keep trying though, and plan to still put in for planning permission, so watch this space!
