How much I would love to have a normal night's sleep again, instead of staring at the ceiling and thinking about how russia struck a school today during the day, and an animal shelter at night, where poor dogs and cats had no chance of escaping their cages. How a private house in Kyiv is

A glorious spring morning and a sulphur-crested cockatoo glided over my head as I took the compost out. It perched on an elm branch, briefly looked down at me as I looked at it then flew off with a mild squawk to join the rest of the gang. #Firstbirdofmyday #Whatsyours

250 million birds flew across America last night, tracked by radar. Migration season is upon us, and it’s wilder than you could imagine. Birdcast’s live migration maps and forecasts (from Cornell Lab of Ornithology) are brilliant, and you can find them here. birdcast.org/migration-to...

#FirstBirdOfMyDay could, in context, only have been an intrepid herring gull! An exceedingly brief glimpse of a white feathery object, the size of gull, which disappeared as soon as I became aware of it, possibly from physical contact with the apex of a single storey rear extension.

I’ve been standing stock still in this wood for about 10 minutes while I mess about with a photo on my phone. I look up, notice the shape, and slowly crouch down to film This has made me so happy I feel I could cry. It’s as close to magic as I hope to get.

First birds of my day: a pair of Robin, who seem to be regulars to the back garden where I'm staying!, a trio of Carrion Crow carking loudly as they flew overhead, and the gaggle of Gull (2 Yellow-Legged, 5 Lesser Black-Backed, and 6 Herring) circling noisily overhead. #FirstBirdOfMyDay #UKBirding

It’s Swift Awareness Week! Sadly, the iconic Swift (Apus apus) dropped in numbers across the UK by over two thirds between 1995 and 2024. Find out more about this aerobatic species on our BirdFacts pages: www.bto.org/learn/about-... @btobirds.bsky.social @jncc.bsky.social @rspbscience.bsky.social
The caption says ' Swift Awareness Week.' An image of a Swift is shown. It is a black bird with scimitar shaped wings and a forked tail.

For a long time, scientists thought water simply rose up through the trunk. But researchers have discovered something astonishing: trees contract and expand, pumping water like a slow-beating heart—except that this pulse beats roughly every two hours.

When I first spotted this butterfly a couple of hours ago, the first thing I had to do was stop my hands shaking. It's one of the rarest butterflies in France, a vanishing species in much of Europe. It's the mountain Apollo (Parnassius Apollo). Just in time for #InsectThursday #lepidoptera
