Lovely to see (and hear) so many bumblebees on willow around Loch Morar earlier this week. Willow catkins are more than simply attractive to look at; they are a huge bonus for bees in very early spring when food sources are scarce. scottishpollinators.wordpress.com/2021/12/20/the…

South Lanarkshire Council are committed to reducing intensively managed grassland, they have improved 155 areas throughout the region for pollinators = 62ha. Their 'Making Space for Pollinator Report' & plans for nature networks are also welcome developments. #pollinators
Egg-stremely exciting! Our pair of Peregrines nesting @UofGlasgow Gilmorehill Campus now have a clutch of 4 eggs! We think the female laid her 4th egg just before 3pm on Monday 25th March. 🥚🥚🥚🥚 Will there be a 5th egg? @RSPBScotland @ScottishBirding
Your kindness can kill a bumblebee 💔 📢 Please share! Bumblebee queens are starting to emerge from hibernation. British weather isn’t always ideal and people with the best intentions can cause more harm good. Let’s change that. 🧵1/5
Egg-cellent news from Glasgow! Our Peregrines nesting @UofGlasgow Gilmorehill Campus have laid their 3rd egg this morning! We glimpsed the 2nd egg around 1am on 21st March and she revealed her 3rd egg just after 5am on the 23rd. Will she lay a 4th? @ScottishBirding @RSPBScotland

Hairy-footed Flower bee (Anthophora plumipes) is the 31st species of bee we’ve recorded in Yorkhill, Glasgow since 2021. A lovely spring-flying solitary bee that appears to be spreading through Scotland. Males are brown & females are black☀️🌸🐝
Felt like spring had finally arrived in Glasgow on Saturday with warm sunshine, Orange-tips, Green-veined Whites, Red Mason bees, Willow Warblers, Chiffchaffs & spring hoverflies galore. Highlight was a male Hairy-footed flower bee in Yorkhill Park.First one I’ve seen in Glasgow!
🗣️ It’s World Curlew Day! This iconic wetland species faces huge challenges - like habitat loss, predation and flooding. Here’s what we’re doing to give vulnerable curlew chicks a fighting chance 👇💚 #WorldCurlewDay
Andrena ventralis. Added to the British list from a site in Hampshire last year. One of six British Andrena's that gather pollen entirely from Salix. The combination of red underside to gaster and white tergite flecks makes it pretty easy to identify. Thanks @JWentomologist
Athayde's latest blog = The facultative shift of sex ratios displayed by some bees is a remarkable survival tool. The power to quickly tilt the offspring's sexual balance could make the difference for a species' success. Blog @ scottishpollinators.wordpress.com/2024/04/16/som…

@Owen_Beckett98 @jones44832 @NatureScot @CairngormsCo @CNPnature @RareInverts6 @BuglifeScotland @ScottShanks01 @DipteristsForum @bwars2000 @ScotWildlife @BumblebeeTrust Nigel and I are doing the Ben Lawers area of Scotland in a few weeks then I’m back there in July with @sjthomasbotany. Lots of base-rich geology so should be quite species-rich.
If a sheep comes in the barn we help them and their lambs and then later this year they all leave Australians told me for years to do this and I resisted - it’s 100% right - livestock has to do it’s job without assistance and with minimal inputs
Restoring native woodland in landscapes grazed by cattle & deer can be challenging without the use of fencing. Across the #Northwoods Rewilding Network, we’re using seed islands – small enclosures protecting species such as aspen – to promote growth before the fence is removed.
Last year @jones44832 and I had 8 days surveying insects in Upper Deeside between Muir of Dinnet NNR and Mar Lodge Estate. The report describing where we went and the circa 600 species we found can be found here: researchgate.net/publication/37…
