Wow! I am absolutely thrilled & extremely honoured to receive the @BritEntSoc Gold Medal in recognition of my work to promote the understanding, appreciation & conservation of British #DungBeetles 🐄🐏🐎🐖🦌🐐🦙💩🪲👍

Out with farmers talking about soil biota. The biology in our soils that help us grow plants. Livestock are an integral part of a healthy natural system & where there are cows, there should be #DungBeetles… 💩💩

QM LIVE: @qmbigbeat and @cryptohondo with YOUR MORNING LOOK AT THE MARKETS

Honoured to be the guest speaker at the @savebutterflies UpperThames AGM/Members Day & delighted to be presented with a Chalkhill Blue lifecycle print by the incredibly talented artist @rlewington2 thanks to Sue Taylor. If you enjoy seeing butterflies & moths, want to learn more

Today, I am mostly admiring the contents of pig poo… #DungBeetles #scicomm

Welcome to the glamorous life of a #DungBeetle scientist… #Dungathon

The award-winning documentary that Sen. Adam Schiff demanded to have removed from Amazon Prime shows how metabolic and other natural cancer treatments work. "We're not giving cancer an opportunity to detour . . . to escape down one of its usual [biochemical] pathways."

Looking forward to speaking about the many ecosystem functions delivered by #DungBeetles at the Estonian Beef Cattle Breeders’ Association conference in Tartu later next week. Joined by both local Estonian & other international lecturers, we will be discussing #climate impact,

Autumn dung beetle surveying is in full swing for me right now between running workshops & a few other things. Surveying #DungBeetles is so important as it enables me to assess & monitor their populations. These populations are crucial indicators of ecosystem health. They enable

Really enjoyed Sally-Ann's event on Dung Beetles earlier this month. She has so much farming knowledge and a real passion for these creatures. #Dungbeetles #ecosystemengineers #farming

What do you give a farmer who has recently decided to convert to organic status? Well the wonderfully talented Sarah Hardy of The Edible Museum has done it again! May I present a box full of anatomically correct chocolate slugs in various stages of slugginess…

@elonmusk The only answer you need.

Not a bad view out of the office window today. Looking forward to another dung beetle based workshop with farmers & @DevonWildlife 🐄🐑💩👍

Thank you Storm Amy for delivering walnuts! As you may have noticed it’s a hard mast year which means there’s an unusually high abundance of tree nuts & seeds. This natural phenomenon occurs in a cycle, typically every 3-5 years, where trees produce more seeds than usual to

Out surveying #DungBeetles in horse dung & just look at the numbers of larvae. More of this please!! #biodiversity #equine #horses #soilhealthweek #soilhealth

Making s-hooks with son & his friend in my forge at @berrycroft_hub over the weekend. A great & productive escape from the daily pressures for all of us! #TimeWellSpent

Can one voice make a difference? Together, we can reclaim biblical values in our nation. Follow Truth & Liberty to discover how you can take a stand.

Hummingbird hawk-moths are migratory insects from southern Europe, but with the warmer temperatures due to climate change, there is a potential they are now overwintering in the UK, with some populations becoming established. A great example of convergent evolution, they hover

Will you look at the horns on that! This mighty beast is a male minotaur beetle - a #DungBeetle species that exhibits sexual dimorphism as the females are slightly less spectacular, sporting only pointed edges instead. #dungathon #Geotrupidae

Now’s a good time to see one of our easier to identify dung beetle species - the minotaur beetle Typhaeus typhoeus. A really stunning insect, these beetles are active at night. #DungBeetle. #Dungathon

I’ve been out looking at hedgerows on the farm & here’s a great example of why planting a variety of species is so important. The more diverse your plants, the more biodiversity you can support throughout the year & in various lifecycle stages too. This hedge is providing both

Had a great time running another #DungBeetle & sustainable parasite management workshop today - superbly hosted by the fantastic @RealFarmED. Everyone learnt a lot, found dung beetles & took an important message back to their farms… #SoilScience #Biodiversity #Carbon #Dungathon
