Lovely day @birdsinwales.bsky.social conference on Saturday. Lots of interesting talks and catching up with friends.

Hopefully lots of people inspired to start doing some bird recording. Check out @btobirds.bsky.social surveys here www.bto.org/get-involved... or just use @birdtrack.bsky.social

Personally I hope this doesn’t take off as well as Movember or dry Jan

Only photo I got

Can’t beat a bit of Nightjar wing clapping. This is indicating probable breeding at this location. Along with the bit of ‘purring’ call you can hear as as well.

More info on the acoustic ecology and monitoring of Nightjar by @btobirds.bsky.social here www.bto.org/our-work/new...

Can’t beat a bit of Rob Brydon Karaoke

It’s be been a heathy few days. Lovely to find an emperor moth caterpillar and Cowberry (lots) on the Blorenge.

Nightjar at Beacon hill. Lovely to find two second broods. Some great heathland restoration at this site from Natural Resources Wales.

Astonishing level of ecological illiteracy in this @teamlabouruk.bsky.social government.

Please check out and consider supporting @inccymru.bsky.social crowd funder for an investigative journalism project focused on Wales - www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/stop-the-w...

The scrutiny this would bring to environmental decision making in Wales is sorely needed.

Nightjar image 🤷‍♂️ but why not!
