About to watch the World Cup in the pub when a fella said to me ‘I bet you can’t name 3 Qatar players’
I replied - George Harrison, Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton

Didn't have Red-legged Partridge in a neighbours front garden on the cards. Crikey, she is a tight sitter.

On the River Chess we are seeing our watercress dying. The plants are under attack from this insect, looks like a beetle larvae. Speaking to experienced watercress growers they tell us this is new to them. Only impacting watercress. @bugsymac1 @Buzz_dont_tweet @WildTroutTrust

Welcome to the 2026 Purple Emperor season, which officially opened today at Bookham Commons (NT), Surrey, with this piece of appallingly bad behaviour...
It's going to be Great.

Both of these have been on earth a while now but the damage one apparently causes can be put right by buying some carbon credits and planting some trees that may die. The others naturally create carbon capture by eating grass that regrows but they are the problem.Are we mad!!?

I have my DSC1 Assessment day today. It’s time that all landowners took responsibility for a problem out of control. If you love wildlife, eat venison apple.news/AB7U9nub2SzSDNMww…

It has begun! The Corn Bunting breeding season is underway with two nests located yesterday containing eggs. For the next two months our team will be spending most mornings and evenings locating and monitoring Corn Bunting nests for the @_BTO nest record scheme.

Joy at Abberton Reservoir where for the third spring out of four we’ve caught this Nightingale that was originally ringed in The Gambia in January 2020. Now 7 years old and still going strong. Just brilliant! 🇬🇲🇬🇧

I don't know. You see two Lapwing 5-eggers in 18 years only for your new volunteer team to find one in their first season!
Normal clutch size is 4.

For #FindsFriday, I'm gifting you this fantastic Bronze Age felled tree we’ve just excavated from #Skipsea in Holderness. The marks of the socketed bronze axe are clearly visible, and the thud of the axe is almost audible. Used - we think - as a post, perhaps for a trackway.
