@TonyJuniper @helenwithers @NENorthWest I’m afraid it’s misleading to insinuate @NENorthWest wouldn’t support veg clearance. Here is their consultation response, indicating they may support substantial vegetation loss if protected plants were moved etc. Is this really how Natural England want to be seen to treat SACs?
I wasn’t expecting to see a Dormouse at Martin Down in the middle of the day! You can’t get much cuter - a real highlight #dormouse #martindown
Dear @bbcweather. Your forecasts for my local patch (Warwickshire) are beyond a joke and have been for months. The worst predictions end up being the nicest days. Predicted nice days end up gloomy or with unforecasted rain. For someone doing weather-dependent work it truly sucks.
Fantastic to find the Pine Long-horned Hoverfly, Callicera rufa, again at Formby, Merseyside this week. This is the fifth year that the species has been present at this site. A fantastic insect @tanyptera #syrphids #diptera @StevenFalk1
Important new study on the dependence of crops on #pollinators such as #bees by @CatarinaSiopa et al. Take home: previous studies have under-estimated the role of pollinators for agricultural production - they are even more vital than we realised! besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/13…?
White-lipped Snail (I think) in the garden yesterday. The light reflections make it look like it was moving really fast; it wasn't ... #Snails #Gastropods
Potential sighting of a Great White Egret at @EHKenilworth Castle yesterday by somebody familiar with our local Little Egrets. Any other reports in the area @WestMidBirdClub @dogdoughty ?
Lovely new video featuring the bees of @uniofwarwick here: vimeo.com/932553984/34b6…. A great pleasure to be part of this. Lots of great conservation work going on at the university, showing that sensitive development can have substantial wildlife benefits.
Nice to finally get back to delivering in-person bee identification courses. Now that I have my own microscopes, I can deliver courses anywhere in the UK so get in touch if you'd like a course near you!

I spent yesterday searching an area of ancient woodland near Henley, and was rewarded with finding one of our rarest and most spectacular Craneflies, Ctenophora flaveolata. Without doubt the highlight of my year so far. @DipteristsForum
Wheeeee!!! 🤣
Oil paintings of rare Indonesian Rafflesia species I've completed this morning:
Blondie is back; we get the uncommon pale form of females Hairy footed flower bees (also the normal dark form), they crop up locally (and in our garden) have never quite worked out the ratio. They are easy to confuse with males. Thanks @StevenFalk1 for teaching me about these.
Andrena ventralis. Added to the British list from a site in Hampshire last year. One of six British Andrena's that gather pollen entirely from Salix. The combination of red underside to gaster and white tergite flecks makes it pretty easy to identify. Thanks @JWentomologist
The very beautiful red mason bees are emerging from nest boxes we set up on @SussexUni campus last year - just in time for the City Nature Challenge, do join us! @SussexLifeSci @SussexBiology citynaturechallenge.org
Try making a clay bee hotel for hairy-footed flower bees. It really seems to work: 3 residents so far :) youtu.be/o1w8_6ctgZ0?si… Plus, if you have any type of bee hotel, please join the Big Bee Hotel Experiment, sign up via @The_Buzz_Club

Here is their consultation response, indicating they may support substantial vegetation loss if protected plants were moved etc. Is this really how Natural England want to be seen to treat SACs?
@NENorthWest @TonyJuniper Can there be ANY good reason to destroy this eco system in order to create more of a wildlife barren sandy beach? I fail to come up with one. But I'd love to hear your reasoning as I'm sure Joshua would.
In July, decisions were made by @NENorthWest which has resulted in an unprecedented outcome in modern times. 0.5ha of the Dee Estuary SAC is now set to be destroyed on Wirral. @WildJustice_org have been helping to reverse this nationally significant precedent. PLEASE RETWEET!
Interesting how the AI on I-naturalist gets thrown by the fungal infestation of this fly- top hit is a dormouse! (And ‘expected nearby’ for the dormouse is a bit of a stretch in my opinion)
@StevenFalk1 @bbcweather Ha, ha we’re in a period of weather patterns that defy some of the most powerful super computers running incalculable numbers of permutations and you still feel it’s like too inaccurate? Clearly on the ground the changes defy the modelling and will do so yet a while, beware!!
@StevenFalk1 @bbcweather We use the BBC & the Met Office forecasts and they often (nearly always!) differ for our local weather. Usually metoffice.gov.uk is more accurate but today is says cloudy but here it is dry & mainly sunny. BBC says c40% drizzle..... 🤔
@StevenFalk1 @bbcweather I prefer to use the Rain App, you can see what's coming.
@StevenFalk1 @bbcweather I have the weather App Ventusky on my phone which is excellent for arranging Bird,Butterfly etc..days out Steven

Crete day 7: A cold start up on the Omalos Plateau brightened to reveal sheets of Tulipa saxatilis and Crown Anemone in ungrazed fields along with subtly striking Widow Iris. Higher on the slopes we a grove of ancient endemic Cretan Elm. Distant views of Lammergeier were a bonus!

The Northern Mining #Bee (an SBL sp Rare in the UK, recorded in less than 16 tenkm squares) Is 1 of the SBL bees that CNPA planners appear to be disregarding when suggesting approval/retrospective approval for development at the Mossie today. #FairerPlanning in #Scotland
@StevenFalk1 @bbcweather Try the Met Office app, always works for me. Excellent. The BBC stopped using Met Office forecasts a while ago and it shows
@StevenFalk1 @bbcweather I agree. My patch is in the uplands with no shelter so I rely on the forecast and it lets me down so often!
