Best compliment I've had in a long time - the child-like joy of wildlife nerding with a legend like @GreeneIndy this weekend. I'll take that. Keep the spark and the wonder. 🪲🐌🌿🍂🦟🦔

Joining many others in the exodus of a rapidly disintegrating ship steered by a billionaire with little concern for people or planet.
Maybe see you there? 🦋🌏

An update from our Storm-petrel chicks in the Faroes! There are still fluffy chicks weeks away from fledging, but this beauty is very close, the chick hatching out on 14th September. Very thankful to Jens-kjeld for continuing the nest checks for us.

Yew and Juniper forest! Never seen a habitat like this, but it’s super cool to see such widespread areas of this mixed, scattered woodland type on hillsides and areas I’d call ‘ffridd’ if I was in Wales. Really cool. Any ideas on the history of this eco type in the Lake District?
