Denmark, particularly in Copenhagen, has installed floating platforms/islands planted with wildflowers and native vegetation in its harbors and canals. These create safe urban habitats and sanctuaries for birds, bees, pollinators, insects, and even some aquatic life.

Happy #BogDay! 🥳
Today is all about brilliant bogs, super swamps, fantastic fens and marvellous marshes! Did you know that bogs cover just 3% of the world's surface but studies have found they hold nearly 30% of soil carbon!

Little Grebes try to nest on irrigation ponds near here. Unfortunately when water’s pumped out nests are damaged + chicks abandoned. This chick was lucky. Of course if farms didn’t build reservoirs there would be no habitat in our area for grebes at all! Overall a plus for biodiversity…

Water levels are at record low levels in parts of Fife. One of our members recorded this otter walking along a dried out burn where they would usually be playing in the water. #globalwarming #Fifewildlife #otters #drought #climatechange

Only six species caught in the moth trap last night but this beauty, Garden Tiger, made up for the lack of variety.

The UK government didn't want you to see this report on ecosystem collapse. I'm not surprised | George Monbiot
It took an FOI request to bring this national security assessment to light. For ‘doomsayers’ like us, it is the ultimate vindication, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

I just saw seven Bullfinches fly up from the Heather in this heath in the Lammermuir Hills, SE Scotland. Not their usual type of habitat!

The tree tops are full of winter thrushes at the moment - mostly fieldfares like these in this part of #Fife this year, redwings not so much. Blackbirds are favouring the open grass areas in the local parks and gardens, and song thrushes seem to prefer reedy ditches #winter #birding
