For those in the border region, I’ll be giving a talk about mistletoe next week, covering some recent discoveries about the ways these mysterious plants boost biodiversity and enhance ecosystem function. Not a zoom chat but an actual in person public talk. Woo hoo!

Absolutely - so important to keep monitoring birds and other wildlife so trends can be picked up & something can be done about declines before it’s too late.

Our winter bird surveys on farms have just come to an end, and interestingly the team has noticed several species that wouldn't normally turn up until spring... Here's Dave Smith with the details 🐦
