On the 14th December, we celebrate Jodrell Bank’s 80th anniversary by sharing our final #JodrellAt80 heritage photo – taking us back to where it all began.

This black and white photo is one of the first ever taken at Jodrell, back when the site was still the @manchester.ac.uk botany station. [🧵1/4]

European Robin (Erithacus rubecula): 14cm (5.5in) This is an insectivorous species that will also take seeds if put out on a bird table.

Birdsong, clean rivers, wildlife in our gardens and green spaces all hang in the balance.

We need action now: properly funded protected sites, more high-quality nature-friendly farming and delivery at a scale that will reverse the decline.

Time to deliver.
