A Golden Plover stands alert among the reddish-brown heather and grasses of upland peatland. Its mottled gold and black plumage blends with the landscape, a reminder that these precious habitats are home to rare and remarkable wildlife.
GOOD NEWS: the peat burning ban is being extended in the English uplands. 👏
Peatlands lock up carbon, protect water & support rare wildlife.
We hope today's announcement signals a move to end this damaging practice for good, and thank our supporters for helping make it happen.
A bright Yellowhammer perches on a bramble, its golden plumage glowing in the sunlight against a soft green backdrop.

A healthy Greenfinch perched on a lichen-covered branch against a soft green background. Birds with trichomonosis may instead appear fluffed up, lethargic, and reluctant to fly, often sitting still for long periods.
Garden birds not looking well? It could be trichomonosis.
By reporting sick or dead birds, you can directly help our scientists understand this disease.
Report here: www.gardenwildlifehealth.org
Please don’t clean or remove feeders until after we visit - this step is crucial.❗
