Can anyone help me find a slightly obscure reference from Revue de zoologie et de botanique africaines, Volume 80. It is de Roo-de Ridder, A. & de Roo-de Ridder, F. 1969. The first records of Cinnyris “ogilvie-granti” (Bannerman) from the Congo Republic. Rev. Zool. Bot. Afr. 80: 391–396. #birds

Important work! I was doing this very thing as well last week. Will you be moving on to insisting that data are plural? 🤣

Wow good effort!

Ancylosis oblitella

Evergestis obviella

Oak Processionary

Uncinus obductella

Amazing moth catch on Friday night with 6 nfg including some rare and adventive species in VC29. 7 Ancylosis oblitella, Uncinus obductella, Jersey Tiger, 4 Gypsy Moths, Evergestis limbata, 3 Oak Processsionary, Oncocera semirubella, and Orthotelia sparganella. Incredible catch 877 of 114!

The garden moth list notches up another one with Pammene aurita in the orange. Plus Apotomis lineana, Scorched Carpet and Recurvaria nanella.

Now they parked their tanks on our lawn have we got another handy term for the Bebbington sort of evangelical to use?

I'll be in London next week discussing misinformation and the #biodiversity crisis with @amydickman.bsky.social and @clarecarlile.bsky.social at an event organised by the ‪@linneansociety.bsky.social ‬https://members.linnean.org/events/67fd2addd5f1de00084dd431/description 🌍

We saw all but one of Palawan's 27 endemic birds in just three days. In fact we saw 24 of them on our first day thanks to able guiding by John Stephen Tuboc ("Step"). Far easier birding than on Luzon.

After a three hour wait in a hide in the forest I admit to a fair level of excitement when this male Palawan Peacock Pheasant stepped out of the gloom. He didn't stay long.
Massive appreciation to Birdwing folks who only opened the hide in January #birds 1/2

This Great Reed Warbler at Ouse Fen, Cambs this morning really was as loud as it looks 📣📣📣

A farmer friend wondered if there was a payment scheme motivating this but he couldn't think of one.

Does coppicing actually extend its life, or just make it appear young again? It was impenetrable at the base so was not remotely "leggy". Asking for some owls who preferred it old and bushy!

Thanks. The livestock grazing, and the mowing when not grazed, are all very effective at preventing any woody encroachment. In a pasture like this you will struggle to find a single woody volunteer away from the hedge line. I'm sure it can't be that. Would you agree @richardkbroughton.bsky.social ?

What's the business case for a farmer to take down old hedges (3-5m) around pasture. This is quite wet grassland often inundated for weeks in winter, grazed by cattle from time to time. He might gain a metre wide strip of grass along the field edge. What other rationale might there be?

Quality post

Ooh isn't it pretty?! Oh, it's roundup. But how thoughtful to leave the big tree!

Views around Ouse Fen today. Thankfully one day all this will be nature reserve. But these are the labour pains.

I'm sure this joke's been made before but... seems a big step up from nocmig

This smart White Wagtail was on Porthgwarra beach yesterday. At least that's what I'm calling it. Too much grey on the flanks?? #Cornwall #UKbirding

They knew how to frighten a cow from entering a churchyard in Cornwall.

I thought a spring Wryneck, some Ring Ouzels and other bits and bobs in West Cornwall today were consolation for missing the Alpine Accentor that disappeared yesterday, but a great surprise when it reappeared this evening. All the better for that bit of pain. 😂 #UKbirding

Yes sure but I still reckon BST is a better one for us to stay in rather than GMT.

British Summer Time is objectively better than Greenwich Mean Time

Repurposed birding scope worked OK for the eclipse.

I knew owls could turn their heads right round but looks like they could turn them right over too 😀

Can any helpful person tell me how to extract a list of folders and their sizes on Microsoft Windows 10. I need a CSV or text or spreadsheet file listing all subfolders (not just files) and their sizes within a particular folder. Thank you.
