Despite the cold spring, 2026 is turning out to be a significant year of conservation success stories from our village here in Fife. Our latest update is the successful hatching of three Lapwing chicks after an absence of nearly twenty years as a breeding species @BTO_Scotland

60 Silver-studded Blues at Poldice Valley today! Significant colonies inhabit Cornwall’s heathlands (many on old mining sites) & coastal dunes, mostly in the west. This nationally rare species still faces tough battles against developers on dunes to keep habitats safe.

Little Ringed Plover are a rare breeding bird in Oxfordshire and we’re very lucky to monitor a site with three breeding pairs nesting in the drawdown zone of a small wetland complex. This week two of these clutches hatched revealing these beautifully camouflaged chicks.

Thousands of Nettle Tree butterflies (Libythea celtis) are being enjoyed by our group in northern Greece right now. An amazing sight!

Penrhos, home to Red squirrels here’s a beautiful close up of a red !
The second photo shows part of the SSSI that sides onto Penrhos showing yet again the importance of the area and why Penrhos should not be developed ! Map marks Beddmanarch – Cymyran SSSI in red

Orchids on the way to Konitsa, day one. Possibly the endemic one.
Good morning from the Pyrenees (France & Spain). The butterflies continue coming thick & fast - all target species & many more. And that's without mentioning all the other flora & fauna. What a fantastic time our group is having!

Spotted at Ewelme Watercress Beds 🔎
These funky little Ermine moth caterpillars like cosying up with each other in webs for safety. They strip vegetation but it’s not a long-term problem and they are not harmful. Look for the ghostly silken webbing on sections of hedgerows.
