A sad story about how one man - who has been monitoring a population of marsh tits for 22 generations - is watching them go extinct Richard Broughton 🇺🇦

Like all our soundscape pieces this week, it points to a much bigger story happening all over our planet theguardian.com/environment/20…

Important and informative article in the latest issue of BB, documenting the rapid and stark disappearance of Willow Tits from former stronghold just up the road in Barnsley Birders area. Hat tip to Geoff Carr Sophie Pinder & Jeff Lunn

Well done Gareth!

Another instalment of our #YorkshireIn100Species series is now live on our website! Today Rivers & Wetlands Trainee Vicki at Yorkshire Wildlife Trust, who works closely with North Yorkshire Crayfish Forum, introduces us to the White-clawed Crayfish: neyedc.org.uk/100-species/20… 💧

Thank you on behalf of the raptors.

Now in our third year of moth recording, we're looking for new volunteers to join us in 2024. We're offering training, support, and the opportunity to build your own moth trap to use throughout the project. For more information, contact [email protected] 🦋

Great post about how the North & East Yorkshire data centre can support naturalists and biological recording. Hopefully other data centres will follow suit!

Sad sight of three dead Sperm Whales on the Humber this afternoon between Skeffling and Sunk Island.

For our March instalment of our #MapOfTheMonth series we're featuring some records of the lovely Teesdale Violet within Ingleborough National Nature Reserve, which we prepared for the volunteer recorder who undertook this impressive project: neyedc.org.uk/updates-insigh… #map #GIS 🗺️

In our review (below) we missed this paper ornisfennica.org/ornisfennica.o… on the synergy between climate change and bird feeding boosting Great Tit populations in Norway - potentially contributing to declines in Siberian Tits which lose their competitive edge.

A new instalment of our #YorkshireIn100Species project is live today!: rhubarb-koi-76r2.squarespace.com/100-species/20… This time we have the Otter, brought to us by PhD student James Macarthur, whose research masters at University of Hull studied this iconic species along the River Hull 💧

It's #NationalHedgehogDay ! Unfortunately, this well-loved species is in steep decline, particularly in rural areas. This is thought to be partly due to the loss of habitat features like hedgerows and field margins. You can find tips to help here: hedgehogstreet.org/help-hedgehogs/ 🦔

Can’t be many places where the world’s first nature reserve, Sir David Attenborough and 200 years of wildlife recording collide. Magnificent effort by Steve Denny Steve Denny & the Wintersett team email [email protected] for details. Congratulations!!👏🏻👏🏻

Top spot!

As a founder member of CIEEM and the current President of the YNU I’d be interested to understand more about this as it’s not something I’ve encountered. Pls DM I may be able to help.

New year, new #YorkshireIn100Species ! To kick off 2024 we have a feature on one of our native - and perhaps most misunderstood - reptiles, the Adder! Today's piece is contributed by Yorkshire Rewilding Network co-founder John Hartshorn: neyedc.org.uk/100-species/20… 🐍
