My name has changed! Last month we got married on the North Devon coast and I start my new chapter as Emily Buttress 🌳
What a brilliant day watching the water shrews whiz past us on this new wetland site. You can watch back on @BBCMorningLive from 9.44am
Did you catch us on @BBCMorningLive this morning? Emily McParland talks to @MirandaKnature about water shrews at @spainsestate
Extremely proud of my partner, Dr @Toby_Buttress, who has just had his research published in @Nature 👏🥳
Thrilled to share my PhD work with @XiaoqiFeng_m @JohnInnesCentre is now published in @Nature 🌼🌿 You can read the open access paper here: nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

We face an urgent nature and climate crisis. But instead of a plan for nature's recovery on land and at sea, the UK Government is pursuing a dangerous agenda of deregulation that puts the very laws protecting wildlife at risk. But what does this mean exactly? (1/12)
Very exciting to see our resident blackbird feeding 2 fledglings and enjoying our wild patch 🐥 #30DaysWild
@EssexWildlife @30DaysWild
Gave a helping hand to a newly fledged blue tit who was probably stunned. After relocating to a tree and left in peace for 10 mins, they were ready to fly off 🥰 #30DaysWild

Today we’re shining a spotlight on @EssexWildlife Abberton Reservoir, one of Europe’s top wetland sites. (1/5)

I have a question but hopefully it’s a good topic. I know when people pass away, people often don’t know what to say or how to comfort you and it can make for uncomfortable convos. What’s something you wish someone would have said to you while dealing with a painful loss?
Half way through my #BigGardenBirdWatch and at least someone has shown up on time 😂 @Natures_Voice
In loving memory of my father, Michael Joseph McParland QC. We are honouring his legacy by encouraging donations to @TrussellTrust, a charity he had only just donated to because he hated the idea of anyone going hungry at Christmas.
