Rufous Breasted Accentor Accentor, the name comes from Latin. Accentor(ad cantor), meaning "to sing with". Reflects the habit of these birds to sing overlapping, harmonious duets with one another. #IndiAves @IndiAves

There’s something so inherently wrong with a society that can’t go 45 minutes without an ad.

A sketch book style painting of the Western Reef Heron - it’ll be back, Anglesey maybe - can do prints 🙂

Birmingham City Black Redstart & fledgling Great!

🚨 Jürgen Klopp has launched a scathing attack on the cooling breaks being used during this World Cup. 👊 "Football is being held hostage by executives sitting in air-conditioned offices. These breaks are being presented as a shield for player welfare, a noble weapon against the heat. In reality, they are nothing more than a golden cage built for sponsors. When I saw players standing around during cooling breaks while television timeouts dictated the rhythm of the match, I couldn't help but ask myself: who is the World Cup really serving? The supporters? The players? Or the advertisers? A World Cup match should flow like a river. Instead, we are building dams in the middle of it so commercials can be shown. It's dangerous for the spirit of the game. Football used to be the main event, but it now risks becoming background music for an advertising show." He didn't hold back. 👏👏

What a stunner! Enjoyed absolutely incredible views of this Arctic-bound White-billed Diver (aka Yellow-billed Loon) in full breeding plumage at West Burrafirth, Shetland yesterday.

The first marsh harrier chicks have hatched in the Zülpich Börde, while the endangered Montagu’s harriers are still nesting. We are working with farmers to protect 11 crop-field nests over the next two weeks, keeping the chicks safe from combine harvesters until they can fly!

Good news! Ministers have finally given green light to new #NaturalHistory GCSE. Big hats off to tireless advocate Mary Colwell 🙌 Now young people will be able to get to know & love the natural world & gain vital skills to protect it @curlewcalls🌷🌳 🦅🦡 theguardian.com/education/20…

Well, I think you can say this Great Northern Diver (Loon) has the ‘wow’ factor 🤩 We get a few in Staffordshire, central England where I reside, usually winter visiting/plumaged Birds. To see one close, in exquisite breeding finery, in Benbecula recently, was just fantastic! 😌

This pair of Arctic Terns are just settling down on the Isle of May to nest. Great to have them back

Exciting #WildlifeWednesday news at Trentham! 💜 Thanks to member David Emley, we've recorded the Norfolk Hawker dragonfly for the first time on the estate and the first ever record in Staffordshire. Keep an eye out for flashes of orange around the lake! 🌿✨

Direct hit. 14.5mm rain and hail in ten minutes. Looks like our recently planted squash and sweetcorn has handled it ok. Drought, heatwaves, late frosts, intense winds and big rain and hail events. This year has had it all.

Every year, thousands of protected animals, including whales, dolphins and seabirds, are killed incidentally by fishing gear. The Government must work with fishers and environmental NGOs to end the bycatch of marine species. @WCL_News

This week the feeds slowed right down. The larder ran low and calls from Jupiter went silent....  Prey arrives but Jupiter is not fed. Last night, Caitir finally came to feed, and the first signs of not waiting for the beak began to show. 🔴 Watch live: tinyurl.com/UFReagles

Another of the Western Reef Heron on the River Seiont at Caernarfon Castle last Sunday morning. Lovely pose & showing its elegant breeding plumes in this capture. Fabulous Bird. 🤩

I was driving along a quiet country road early one morning in France recently when I came across this beauty, a honey buzzard, that just remained there looking at me. Only when I slowly drove past to try and get better lighting did it flap off a few feet.

Distant record captures of the splendid beast of a Caspian Tern in Blithe Bay, Blithfield reservoir this afternoon… my second in Staffordshire! Also another Caspian, in the Gull form! (1S) @Staffsbirdnews
