Great to speak to so many growers, agronomists and seed producers about #PCN resistance and tolerance today. Key message: PCN resistance works extremely well and tolerance ≠ resistance!

The first in-depth analysis into the seasonal timing of bird and insect behaviours confirms that spring is indeed getting earlier each year. Exactly how much earlier depends on where in the UK and in which habitat they occur. @CEHScienceNews @savebutterflies @_BTO @ScotGovSASA

I've asked the Scottish Government to #SaveCoulLinks. Will you do the same before we lose another protected site to a golf course development? bit.ly/2HHABFa
