Last weekend I went north for some hill time and, because it was last weekend, I challenged myself to take my photos in #monochrome, which I think was worth it... If youlike these you can see a few more ๐Ÿ‘‰500px.com/p/btorobrob/gaโ€ฆ #Nikon #hills #Outdoors #LakeDistrict #nationalpark

To be effective #conservation & #landscape policies must be based on evidence of what actually works. All those who contribute BTO data play a small, but crucial, role in helping understand how best to do this. See also this nice thread by Sophus zu Ermgassen x.com/sophusticated/โ€ฆ

Absolutely thrilled to be in delightful Loire-Atlantique with representatives of #BirdRinging schemes from 30+ countries to promote collaboration in #ornithology across Europe. Thanks Chloรฉ Girardot Moitiรฉ & Freddy Hervochon for the warm welcome & intro to great ecological initiatives in the area

Some fabulous #vegetarian #HealthyFood sets EURING participants up for a short lunchtime stroll through some woodland - with understory layers - a bit of a surprise for those of us from areas with higher deer populations! #conservation #wildlife #ecology #BirdRinging

๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿ“ข Do I know any #ornithology or #BirdRinging tweeps near #grimsby #cleethorpes Spurn Bird Observatory who might be up for retrieving an oystercatcher satellite tag that has fallen off after two years? (Almost) Eternal gratitude and a beer or two for anyone up for the challenge ๐Ÿ™

What a great idea & so much better than some weve seen recently. Building a different future, even if it is only one tree, is a much more constructive & engaging way to show how society can change for the better. Well played Extinction Rebellion Youth UK Surely Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan can nourish such hope?

In the last year the 7(!) biggest oil companies made $150bn profit (not turnover) which ranks them 55 of 190 countries worldometers.info/gdp/gdp-by-couโ€ฆ We should take a moment to reflect whether this is really acceptable? theguardian.com/business/2022/โ€ฆ #ClimateCrisis

Swifts are my favourite bird ๐Ÿ˜ Not really "oursโ€œ but Africans who come here to breed #soundofsummer Birds know no borders! So great to work w/ RSPB & Rothamsted Research using BTO #citizenscience data to figure out why they are declining doi.org/10.1111/ibi.13โ€ฆ #ornithology

I think this might be a first - @_bto staff left in the bar by Scottish #birdringing folks, even if Rock_nest(her) ๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€โšง๏ธ is on the edge. What an inspirational day hearing about the "known unknownsโ€. The value of "in person" mtgs for stimulating thought cant be underestimated #ornithology

But what does this loss look like? My attempt to visualise it: each bird represents 1 million pairs - many more (57) fade out than are replaced (21). Thanks to all BTO #volunteers whose observations provide evidence for action๐Ÿ‘‰strategy.bto.org #ornithology #conservation
