We *do* need another report actually. You cant improve what you aren't measuring.
Reports and action are not mutually exclusive, we need both
On Sept 27th the State of Nature report will be released.
Nature doesn't need another report, it needs restoring, now.
Join us on Sept 28th outside DEFRA in London, 8am til 2pm – sign up for details at RestoreNatureNow.com

Spells of poor weather have slightly hampered our ability to conduct bird ringing surveys on our study farms this winter. Therefore, it was great to get five ringing surveys completed over the last week. We ended the week with a total of 467 birds ringed and 79 recaptured.

Finally saw a Dotted Beefly yesterday - never knowingly seen one as they’re usually zipping round too fast! With Dark-edged too. #BeeFlyWatch

Nice day for pollinators yesterday - in the space of 5minutes, my first #beefly of the year, Red-tailed bumblebee and Common Carder Bee. #BeeFlyWatch @SoldierfliesRS @TVERC1 @BumblebeeTrust

Nice to hear from my former boss @_AndyClements talking at the @NaturalEngland #NatureRecovery conference. Liked his msg that NE needs stronger, more diverse partnerships with data-gathering NGOs.

Great to be able to track how these birds are doing and where they’re going. It’ll be nesting season before we know it!
After spending the summer following the fortunes of a series of Reed Bunting nests on lowland farms for the @_BTO Nest Record Scheme, it's always rewarding to recapture birds from those same nests at winter sites. Last week we recorded birds originally ringed in 2021 and 2022.

This morning we were surveying birds on an organic farm that has been experimenting with minimum-tillage cultivation. Looks to be having a positive impact on the birdlife with 96 birds processed at the ringing site, including 4 Corn Buntings, 36 Yellowhammers and 13 Reed Buntings

Hello @elonmusk . Thanks for reinstating @michaelastracha to @Twitter . I’m afraid the excellent @_BTO have now inexplicably disappeared . They are very important and well respected scientists and educators working to support critical conservation projects . Any chance . . . RT

We started the year off with a fantastic bird ringing survey on a farm near the Thames yesterday. We caught 155 birds including 39 Yellowhammers, 12 Reed Buntings, 15 Greenfinches and a Marsh Tit. Quite a few of birds were already ringed, including a female Yellowhammer from 2019

First Redwing in the garden! Have often heard their “tseep” as they fly overhead (especially at night) or seen them in neighbouring trees, but this is my first proper garden record!

Slide from yesterday’s #NBNconf22 of most submitted records by species on @NBNAtlas last year. Getting strong @PTES vibes… #BigHedgehogMap #GreatStagHunt
ALT Slide showing a word cloud of the most recorded species on NBN 2021/22. West European Hedgehog and Stag Beetle are the largest words.

I don’t know which was more exciting over the weekend - moving house or seeing my first ever Hummingbird Hawk Moth! Ironically at the house we were leaving…@TVERC1 @UpperThamesBC

The Reed Bunting breeding season is now drawing to an end and today we ringed two of the second broods we've been monitoring in the Thames floodplain. The number of pairs making second nesting attempts seems quite low this year - is this what other people find for Reed Buntings?
