Never been to a moth party before! This week at Sussex Wildlife Trust HQ we had a fun get together celebrating an awesome 30 years of moth trapping at the site.

Super-proud of my colleagues that we are taking a stand. Marine protected sites are all too often protected in name only.

Great to be working with Leigh Day and the Environmental Law Foundation

If yoy are not interested in #moths lool away now!
I'm always amazed how many migrant moths come across the channel at this time of year. It mustbe millions, or even 10s of millions. A joy when species like the Olive tree Pearl turns up in your garden moth trap

Rewilding charity seeks views on reintroducing storks to London Storks disappeared from the skies above London centuries ago due to hunting and habitat loss.

Err...not sure White Storks are city birds Certainly not Central London!!

Are they in any cities in their core range? @rarebirdalertuk.bsky.social @btobirds.bsky.social @rspbscience.bsky.social?

Said our farewells to conservation and birding legend Tony Marr. Founder of the @sussexornitholo.bsky.social Council member of @rspb.bsky.social and key figure in the BOU. He was also the driving force behind the succesful campaign to protect Pagham and Rye Harbour as nature reserves. RIP
