What are whiskers for? How do they work? And what can we learn from them? @RobynAnneGrant explains in our latest video with @BBCIdeas, with the help of some porcupines!

I tweeted about my irritation with mainstream nature conservation the other day, and it prompted some interest. I've now written a blog: 'Time to Get Angry: Beyond the Cosy Consensus in British Nature Conservation'. jmdean1982.medium.com/time-t…. Please have a read.

Watching another moorland burn in @peakdistrict from my house. So frustrating to watch this while in a meeting about wetland restoration and carbon sequestration @TimBirchWild #Glossop

I am delighted that my review on familiarity as a cue to kinship in social birds has been selected for the
@FrontEcolEvol 2020 Highlights. It's a pleasure for this to feature alongside other excellent research published in a very challenging year #Ecology shar.es/aoIkaB

Dutch radar reveals mass southward movements of birds in response to frost and snow. The interesting thing, to me, is that birds only seem to move after conditions deteriorate. If they would be able to predict such cold events you'd expect them to start moving sooner, right?

Can anyone help with where to actually purchase wild, lead-free venison from in England? My understanding is that most for sale is farmed, and that it's near impossible to establish if it contains lead when wild shot. Would love to find a good source.
