Breac the osprey took his first flight today! The first of our pair to fledge.❤️
Until this moment his world was the width of a double bed. Now he has a vast landscape for a playground and in a few weeks he will cross continents. Amazing!

The Wave... Early evening. Hershel The (Juvenile) Black Crowned Night Heron (Son of Papa HANS), giving me a quick wave (High Four!). Total respect. That's how you know, that you are one with Mother Nature.

Vestal Cuckoo Bee Bombus vestalis, considerable numbers seen supping on Knapweed flowers at Berry Head.
Diagnostic narrow sulphur band above white tail.
A social parasite of B. terrestris - a queen Vestal Cuckoo will invade their nest and lay her eggs. Host males will raise its offspring.

Among our most striking rescues are orphaned zebras. Their Keepers wear special striped coats to mimic the pattern of their lost mothers. It’s a small gesture with a big impact, helping these foals feel secure, loved, and part of a herd once more: sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/d...

✨ Good luck to all runners taking part in #DechmontTrailRaces #Livingston 👟
Inspired by the runners? It's a great time of year for a run, jog or walk in the woods. Get some green time and boost your fitness and mood. Find a wood (and squirrel ✋) near you 👉

🌞 Hey Bluesky crew! 🐾
Been writing poetry inspired by wildlife I’ve encountered I hope you like it?
Atlantic puffins, beaks so bold,
Sail the waves in tales untold.
Clad in black and white they glide,
Ocean's jesters, on the tide.

Autumn migration is already underway with the first Cuckoo’s now already tracking south to Africa! @dorsetbirdclub.bsky.social
And they’re off! 😀 The first of our BTO satellite-tagged Cuckoos have started their migration to Africa! ➡️ www.bto.org/cuckoos #Ornithology
📍 Wingston (Churchbill) was tagged in Sussex and is now in the Loire Valley in France. Wingston was named by sponsors Cuckoo Broadband.

When Enkesha was rescued in February 2017, a wire snare was so deeply embedded around her trunk that it had nearly severed it. Today, this kind and nurturing soul plays the role of nanny to the Umani herd’s many wild-born babies — a remarkable transformation.
