Important insights from this paper! 🪺🦊 When our #foodwaste isn't properly contained, the unintended ripple effects can be severe. 🍌🥪🍟

#Soil sampling is underway for the H3 #regenerative farming project! 🌱 Our #researchers are digging down to 21cm deep, fighting through layers of soil and stones! 🪱 Well done to the Farmland Ecology and Wetlands teams, and partners sampling the soil eDNA from The University of Sheffield !

Fantastic to be working with Francis Buner and The Game & Wildlife Conservation Trust to provide remote camera monitoring through our PERDIXPro platform and product development services. We can’t wait for you to share more images Francis Buner!

Striking #Carabid beetles found by our Uplands researchers! These Carabid auronitens were found in pitfall samples while researching #moorland management techniques. This species likes humid forests but also inhabits open areas at higher altitudes.

Put another Perdix Digital camera on one of our 50 kestrel boxes across the #SelborneLandscapePartnership #farmercluster, yesterday. This is what it recorded: #littleowl

Did you spot our #conservationists on ITV news⁉️ Our #BlackGrouse Translocation Project in the Uplands was featured! 💚 Black Grouse lekking behaviour is a special sight and hopefully this project will bring it back to more of the UK. If you missed it: itv.com/news/2025-04-2…

First nest of newly hatched #cornbunting chicks has been found for 2025! 🐣 These are part of a #nest monitoring project in our #farmlandecology department. The project aims to better understand key parts of their ecology, such as their fledging success and diet. 🪱🐛

Incredible footage from our Uplands team!😱 While monitoring #RedGrouse nests the team found a young female #adder inspecting the egg remains...🐍 This is nest from a #radiotagged hen in the red grouse project. Luckily for the grouse the nest had hatched 4 days earlier!🐣
