A #swallow's nest may not look particularly beautiful from below - not considering the amazing architectural skills involved of course - but from above it seems like fairies have been at work. This one in our shed has been lined with pigeon 🪶 🪶 to protect and insulate the 🥚🥚.
@georgeeaton Only if we get better services. Look at Switzerland for comparison.
@adriawildlife @georgeeaton It's the Swiss model that convinces me the most in this comparison.
@sussexfarming @greyfergie77 I did the same during the recent period of no rain - before the downpour of more recent rain - and was promptly rewarded with the first swallow nest in our shed in more than 15 years since the last time they bred at our cottage. There is young stock close by...
Every river should have several of those sand martin banks. They are such an easy and effective way to help #sandmartins.
Fantastic update from our @stwater Minworth Sand Martin Bank 🐦 We’ve already ringed 22 chicks, with more nests still to check! After ringing 38 chicks in total last year, we’re on track to beat that record in 2026. Great to see all the hard work paying off! 🙌
@RingersWm @handles4forks We shall keep a lookout for them down south in our project... Let us know if you get one of ours in return 😜.
Fabulous #FarmingforNature from Hungary.
Coriander drilled directly into thick rye mulch is doing great despite the prolonged spring drought in our region. As no herbicide was applied, arable flowers are providing additional pollen. The field is buzzing with wild pollinators and honeybees. #FarmingwithNature #RegenAg

Look at me: I'm a #kestrel chick, fierce and well fed, and almost ready to fledge three weeks ahead of the average annual schedule. It's a great year for our amber-listed kestrels in Southern England. Nest boxes help them recover.
A delight every time. #Barnowlbrood monitoring season.
Fantastic insights into #kestrel diet from @fbuner. For more information on our #nestbox monitoring equipment and digital services, you can contact us through our PERDIX Digital website. perdixdigital.com/contact

@GrahamDenny9 @Gameandwildlife @BumblebeeTrust @HAU_Entomology @DefraGovUK @NaturalEngland @StevenFalk1 @OakbankWoodland @BTO_Suffolk @BeespokeNsr @Rothamsted That was exactly the idea when I designed it with Tim Furbank. It's far more than a partridge habitat. It's good for a myriad of farmland wildlife. That's why every farm should have at least one ha of it.
#conservation needs thought , needs observation and management @Gameandwildlife mix designed to feed grey partridges does so much more . @BumblebeeTrust @HAU_Entomology @DefraGovUK @NaturalEngland @StevenFalk1 @fbuner @OakbankWoodland @BTO_Suffolk @BeespokeNsr @Rothamsted @kelly_jowett @NHM_London @mattgarnham90 @RabKing___aye
No box or shoe too small or unusual for a #Wren to nest in.
@TheRockinBirder @DorsetBirdClub @SightingDOR You are looking at a pair here.

When the predator becomes prey: These 📷 captured how a jackdaw found one of our tree #kestrel box broods. It appears to 1st kill the brood, then eat at least 1 chick on the spot. The kestrel female a little later carried off one of the dead chicks, presumably to eat it herself.
We are in the middle of our #kestrel monitoring pilot project with most broods still incubating, some almost completely hatched and two already two weeks old. In any case it's a great year for them in East Hampshire, England this year with rodents being very abundant.
@kulervo I honestly don't know, also because whitethroats are still common.
This #lesserwhitethroat is singing in what looks to me a random bush right in the Centre of Vienna, while in England, with all the nice hedges we've got there - I know not all are equally nice - we rarely get to hear one. Isn't that fascinating?
