Green Urban Birding - The Ranscombe Loop - 1st December 2020 With blue skies in the first time in an age I just had to go for stroll... blueeyedbirding.blogspot.com/2020/12/green-…

We are often asked about binoculars and with so many options out there knowing where to start can be difficult. This week in our birding basics Ranger Mel explains the technical terms and how to get the most from your 'bins' ow.ly/Vb5550CFSz5 #birdwise #birdwatching #blog

And in the same volume, our paper on the potential of naturally regenerated arable margins to support farmland birds and pollinators

Wise words from our partners at Plantlife, "one of the biggest threats to lichens is many people don’t really know very much about them, and if you don’t know about something you can’t value it". Please read the blog and get acquainted.

Today we make our first quarterly donation to Plantlife, we forage at Ranscombe Farm - Plantlife's Flagship Reserve for the botanicals that make our unique, herbaceous and citrus Ranscombe a Wild Gin. Thank you to everyone who has purchased a bottle and helped us support this worthwhile charity!

A quick search of our pheasant'-eye trial plots revealed this seedling. No sowing this year, so it's either from seed sown 2019 or second generation. Fingers crossed for a good showing of this super-rare #arable plant in 2021! #ColourInTheMargins Back from the Brink
