It seems the tally of nesting birds in/around our house and garden is currently sparrows, robins, magpies, wood pigeons, blue tits, wrens and possibly blackbirds, great tits and dunnocks.💚 #naturediary #nestingbirds #spring

My article in last month's print issue of BBC Wildlife about the plight of coastal primates in Kenya is now online: www.discoverwildlife.com/animal-facts...

Very happy to share I have an article in December's BBC Wildlife magazine which highlights the plight of Kenya's coastal primates & the incredible work by Colobus Conservation to protect them from the increasing threat of development & loss of their coastal forest habitat #primateconservation #kenya

@bethrichardson.bsky.social interest in local nesting Peregrines led to her community preventing the demolishment of the buildings they were nesting in - now they face the challenge of saving the green avenue leasing up to it that aids even more wildlife 💚

After two days of inspiring talks, walks and workshops, what a fantastic finale to the @healrewilding.org.uk Into the Light event: a panel discussion hosted by @stephenmossauthor.bsky.social followed by a heartfelt standing ovation for @janstannard.bsky.social. #rewilding #naturerecovery

My hope with the long lens was to identify the large birds soaring in the distance. It was a lovely surprise to learn when I downloaded my photos that a Martial eagle was circling the moon. #martialeagle #tawnyeagle #kenya

Very happy to have contributed a small corner to @amandatuke.bsky.social’s lovely article about a family of hobbies in her London neighbourhood in this months’s Bird Watching magazine #urbannature #30MinuteBirder #londonwildlife

Another year, another coffee shop! #backtowork

Not sure what the name a group of travel writers going walkabout in a storm might be but just spent an inspiring w/e with @lottiegross.bsky.social @stephdyson.bsky.social at the #TTWRETREAT2024 to learn about the travel media. Thank you so much to you both & to HF Holidays for a wonderful stay.

Can't get over how talented this exceptional group of women are and what a delight it was to host them this weekend for #TTWRetreat2024
