Clockwise from bottom left: A pair of mating Blue Ground Beetles (BGBs) - males are typically smaller than females. Deadwood, on the ground and standing, is an important resource for BGBs and many other temperate rainforest species.

Was lucky enough to see the Fin Whale multiple times today from Pendennis Point in Falmouth. It showed well until dusk doing loops of the bay. My first whale species for the UK!

Can't recommend this course and location enough for those aspiring for a career in conservation. Get in touch with @KJHockings for any questions about the course, and I'm also happy to answer any from a student perspective!

In conclusion: Stop saying we send too many people to university, and start saying we’re not creating enough graduate-quality jobs. End of rant. Here’s my column in full (free to read for the first 300 clicks) on.ft.com/3MljMEl

Hardly surprising. RW views are about a notion of superiority of some individuals, classes, races, sexes etc over others. They operate from fear, gut prejudice and the entitlement of power. They aren’t meant to be subjected to logic or rigorous learned scrutiny.
