It rained.... And as predicted on @LBC with @HenryRiley1 not 48 hours ago. Anything in brown is sewage being dumping into the environment right now, in real time, anything in red is sewage dumped over the last 24 hours.

A day of talks and workshops at Sevenoaks School last week, around the theme of nature sounds. Amazing full circle moment as I returned to the place of one of my earliest (and still favourite) recordings, fallow deer in Knole Park just behind the school!

I’m finally ready to tell the world about my private life. This has taken a lot of courage and a lot of thought. But here we go. shorturl.at/nENOY

Replying to @BBCSpringwatch
@BBCSpringwatch were talking last week about Red Kites and there amazing manoeuvrability. I witnessed that beautifully at the Laurieston Red Kite Centre, Scotland last year. The staff were kind enough to let me place a 360 camera down to capture them in action. @ChrisGPackham

What kind of low lifes steal from a nature reserve!? This is one of my favourite locations in Kent!
Can you help us? Our Sevenoaks reserve was raided over the weekend! The cost to replace the stolen power tools and repair the site is estimated at around £20,000. If you have information, report it. If you want to help us, you can donate to our appeal. kentwildlifetrust.org.uk/new…

Learning a lot from doing the daily South African Birdle quiz from @BirdLife_SA. Hadn't heard of today's bird, but there's always a nice description and links on completion. Birdle 02/11/2023 🟩🟩⬜🟩⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 birdle.co.za/

Why do BBC and other news channels always send their reporters out into the storms to tell us it's windy out. Just tell us from the studio where the microphones work properly and the reporters don't look quite so traumatised! 😳

Happy Halloween from the pumpkin goblin and I! I didn't set this up, my mum gave them a squash, and this happened!

Taking a break from my usual office job of databases and cataloguing and having the pleasure of digitising British wildlife tapes from the late Philip Radford 😊

The government, in trying to explain why they don't wish to put any effort into reintroducing beneficial species like beavers, used a photo of a coypu; a South American species that, while somewhat resembles a beaver, very much isn't a beaver. Says it all really! 🙄
🆕We have today published @DefraGovUK 's response to our Species Reintroduction report. DEFRA have told us that ‘the reintroduction of species is not a priority for the government’. See thread for more [1/8🔽]

New noise cameras in New York City's Upper West Side will snap a pic of cars and motorcycles exceedig 85 decibels (like being next to a lawnmower). Fines are $220 for a first citation, and up to $2.625 for repeated offenders. theguardian.com/us-news/2023…
