Fieldfare - Guardian of the Apple.
Since early November I have been putting out an apple for this bird - it has defended the fruit against all-comers.
Even in Storm Darragh, it only left it's post during the very worst of the tempest.
What a thrush - Best mates....

Wow. Right. We need more Entomologists. Now!!
The taxonomic biases in biodiversity data are growing over time. The amount of data we are collecting is growing, but the biases get bigger. We need to make a conscious effort to study the understudied!

Just been reading about beetle larvae that eat frogs and toads for my new book, "Despicable Insects". Wonderfully gruesome. gilwizen.com/epomis/
Epomis beetles – insect response to amphibian tyranny - Gil Wizen
Epomis is a genus of ground beetles with a fascinating biology: using unique behavior, their larvae are able to hunt and prey on amphibians.

By day, I work in Engineering. In 2017 I picked up a camera and started learning about birds and bugs and all sorts of animals. There are plenty I used to be afraid of that I now think are amazing. Biology is a gd miracle. So, if you're afraid, go observe. It could completely change your world.

Is there a UK Wildlife/Environment/Science/Conservation starter pack? If so, can anybody let me know or maybe even add me to it? I need an easy way to find all my old X folk! #Nature #Wildlife #Conservation #Biodiversity #environment #ClimateCrisis #Ecology

Hannah Bourne-Taylor uses her social media accounts to campaign for Swift bricks to be installed in new buildings. We who follow her on other platforms are bemused by the "content warning" on her Bluesky profile. Please could you help?

To kick off my BlueSky adventure, I made the short trip to see the Thornton Reservoir Long-tailed Duck this morning, and what an elegant little bird he was too! #Birds #Birding #Leicestershire #VC55 #Wildlife #Nature #Happy
