Is your ivy flowering? Please don't cut it back if you can avoid it! At this time of year in the UK, ivy flowers are a brilliant late season pit-stop for hard-pressed pollinators like bees, butterflies, hoverflies and moths 🐝 #gardening #wildlife #nature

By leaving deadwood in community spaces and woods, land managers & councils can provide homes for all sorts of insects, mosses, fungi & lichens, as well as vital bird & bat nesting sites. It's also easy #climateaction⁠, as deadwood locks up carbon for years! #wildlife #nature #biodiversity

The atmosphere just hit a new water-vapour record: 27.35 kg of water vapour per m2 in August 2026, ~20 trillion litres more water than the previous record. Warmer air holds ~7% more moisture per °C. More water vapour means more energy to fuel extreme weather. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Always winners and losers in rewilding (or conservation). Looking at some provisional results for a couple of sites to see who is up and who is down. Will release data when we can. So far though on this location its skylarks, yellow wagtails and Cetti's warblers up, sedge warblers and rooks down.

I'm assuming that the data would look even more positive if it wasn't for the current, high death rate of Chaffinch and Blackbirds due to prevalent viruses. All in all, many positives.
