An absolutely amazing blog by Dr Danni Hinchcliffe about the difficulties faced by those who breastfeed in the UK. Thank you for being so honest and open Danni

Note to self: take a quiet moment, breath deep, exhale, watch and listen, nature always has something interesting to share.
Oh and slow motion videos (and sound) of animal flight are so cool!

Great to be a part of this exciting project. We’re trying to understand how thermal drone flights can be optimised to reduce false -ive’s and +ive’s when searching for wader nests. Thanks to all involved in the local team for making this happen. Video linked below 👇

Moorland burning can be environmentally damaging, especially on peatlands
We used satellite imagery to map the extent of burning across Great Britain and the overlap with sensitive habitats

Does conservation work? Our paper by Re:wild shows that it does: a global analysis of 665 trials (incl. several by RSPB Science) found that conservation improved the state of biodiversity or slowed declines in two-thirds of cases BirdLife Science science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Invertebrates in cereal systems in Sussex Downs over 50 yrs

'invertebrate abundance declined by 37% across all taxa ... cropping, field size, pesticide use and weather all significantly explained the variation in the abundance'

This sounds like an awesome study!

In our paper, we found little differences in bird biodiversity between organic and conventional vineyards. Blackbirds were very common but we have no idea how they foraged and how this differed based on management 🍇
