Cut the lights – and seven more ways to save Britain’s bats Lots of us aren’t very keen on bats. But the more we find out about them, the more amazing they turn out to be

Cut the lights – and seven more ways to save Britain’s bats

Amazing!!! I saw my first House Martin last weekend 😊

Someone was in there! I’ve had Kestrels, Tawny Owls and Jackdaws compete for sites. In one instance, I found a nest box with a 3/4 made Jackdaw nest inside, a wing of an adult male Kestrel, with a female Tawny Owl sitting on top with her two young…

Amazing! First day on 2026 I could hear the dawn chorus with window closed. Garden Wren in full song and Ravens cawing overhead

That’s early! I get really excited by my overwintering Blackcaps and give them lots of apples in hope they’ll stay. But they always leave, presumably black to mainland Europe to breed. Gorgeous birds

Saw them in my local shop! Do they taste good?

I absolutely adore this Pied Wagtail roost in #Bath. It’s mesmerising watching them. And seeing people’s reaction when they realise that they aren’t Christmas decorations 🎄🐦‍⬛

And the Redwing!!! 🥰🥰

Catkins and Song Thrush 🎶

Quiet spaces, windows with a daydreaming view, lots of birds, not too cold in winter, sea nearby, mists and hills, sound of a stream, away from main roads, W or SW garden for sunsets, dark skies ✨

Pink winter clouds 🥰

JÓZSEF JOACHIM
Hungarian Academy of Arts, Szeged. 6-23 November 25.

I’m incredibly proud that my Hungarian grandfather, József Joachim (1897-1954), has an exhibition showing paintings, sketches and sculptures in Szeged.

Wow, top spot! Absolutely love seeing roosting tawnies 🦉

What’s a wild yeast hunt?! 💚

Tsssseeeep 🎶 ❤️

FIRST REDWING OF AUTUMN!!!

📷 Jo Cartmell

I love it!!! Many congratulations!!! Well done Dani 💚

Foggy full moon; heady ivy flower scented night air; crazy owl calls; rustling hedgehogs; last of the chirping crickets; listening out for Redwings… I love October 🧡🍂🦉

What causes them to shrink? I still feel sad I missed out on those fog pasta bowls… gorgeous!

Autumn arriving at Charmouth 🌬️🌊

The face of a Barn Owl peeks around the brick wall of a barn as it perches on the building window ledge.

New record for the oldest Barn Owl in Britain and Ireland! 😮 At 18 years old the female was ringed in 2007 in Nottinghamshire when she was a chick before being recorded again in Lincolnshire this year! Read the full story ➡️ www.bbc.co.uk/news/a... #Ornithology #BirdRinging 🪶

Midsummer haze 🧡🌾🌞🌻🦗

Poorest breeding season on record for Kestrels and owls in #Wiltshire.

Most Barn Owls haven’t laid eggs yet due to shortage of food. Many adults are in moult so unlikely to breed this year. Kestrels that have bred are feeding their young with birds, and broods are small 🪺🦉

When was the last time you saw a wildflower meadow bursting with so much colour, teeming with 🦋🐝🪲🐛, orchestrated by chirping crickets and breeding birds?

Heard this beautiful nightingale singing in a park in Budapest 🎶

A tragedy that the UK’s nightingale population has declined by 90%. They used to sing in our parks! Decline linked to breeding & winter habitat quality as shown by BTO’s latest GPS tracking study ➡️ www.bto.org/our-science/...

I saw my first one yesterday in Hungary. They’re huge! There was a storm and the paths were covered in them. Absolutely beautiful and a different colour from your gorgeous chalky beach looking ones 💚

😮 that’s amazing! What was the smell like? Many droppings on you? 🦇

Inquisitive Tawny Owlet 🦉💚
