We’ve been working with @The_Banks_Group on their Eastfield development in Shepley. Our team carried out ecological surveys for barn owl, badger, water vole, bats & breeding birds, helping ensure the project delivers for both wildlife & the community. https://t.co/eSAjp52Bkp

As part of @NottsDormice, we found several dormice, including one already in torpor, during recent monitoring. Dormice are a protected species, so if you think your site could support them, make sure to get in touch and book your habitat survey👉 https://t.co/OUdYqVx5bi

In this month's @CIEEMnet InPractice Magazine, @WardEcoloG shares our journey to adopting a 4 day week. Monthly word clouds showed how staff used their extra day off, gradually shifting from “life admin” to hobbies, family time and enjoying the outdoors. https://t.co/vD8BO7fTsd

Ecologist Rae captured these brilliant images and short video of frogs spotted during a recent site visit 🐸 Even when the main goal of the survey is something else, it's always a pleasure to encounter wildlife like this - a reminder of what we’re working to protect.

Spotted: Mr & Mrs Wasp Spider 🐝🕷 Our Invertebrate Ecologist, @Megabunus, made a brilliant discovery during a recent survey in Weymouth: a pair of wasp spiders, including a female with her striking yellow-and-black markings and a much smaller male nearby. #ecologist #ecology

A little glow in the dark 💡 During a bat transect in West Oxfordshire, Ecologist Jed spotted a glow worm lighting up the evening. “I’ve not seen one in years. It revived a very dull bat transect!” Nature’s small wonders make even the darkest nights worth it. ✨ #ecology

Ecologist Dave spotted a currant clearwing moth sheltering by his back door on a rainy day recently. With its clear wings and wasp-like look, it’s one of the UK’s few day-flying moths and is listed as Nationally Scarce B. A rare treat to see up close!

“With summer solstice approaching, getting up for dawn bird surveys gets harder. But once on site with the birds for company, it’s always worth it,” says ecologist, Michael. If you’re planning ahead for next year, get your site in the diary early: https://t.co/OUdYqVx5bi

While out on a bird survey, Michael spotted a surprise – a Roman snail 🐌 The UK’s largest snail is offered the same protection as great crested newts and its shell can grow up to 5cm. A colony even halted work at RHS Wisley: https://t.co/L9Jr1WRvp8
