Scaups arrive in today’s #AutumnArrivalSpotlight, swimming into the UK’s coastal waters for the winter.
Look for their striking black-and-white plumage and round heads as they dive for food.

Amendment 40 to the Planning and Infrastructure Bill has been voted down.
Had it passed, it would have meant more precious wildlife would have retained existing protections.
Instead, MPs have bought into the false 'nature vs growth' narrative.

The Planning Bill is back in Parliament today.‼️
From the start, it’s been controversial: risking damage to precious wildlife and habitats.
Peers reduced some of those risks.
Now MPs get to vote: keep those protections, or strip them out.

For months, ministers have been pushing a false choice between nature and growth.
Now, new research shows just how out of touch they are.

Tonight, the Woodcock Moon rises. 🌕
Folklore whispers of Woodcocks awaiting this moonlit night to cross the seas & arrive in huge numbers on our shores.
It was believed tiny Goldcrests journeyed with them, riding on their backs!
It will be our second Supermoon of the year.

Last night, Peers voted against Swift bricks: rejecting a simple, proven way to help one of our fastest declining birds recover. ❌
We share @hannahbournetaylor.bsky.social's disappointment & frustration.
The vote came late, but with government refusing to back it, its fate was already sealed.
