It’s happening tomorrow night. Murder, rebellion, dancing, stories, and bogs. Come to Bog Standard and hear the untold true story of how #LindowMan was saved from the shredder - by me! @britishmuseum @guardian @TransitionWilms @WendyGallagher_

Meet Sally, the sparrow hawk! 😊 Fun fact: it has been reported that sparrowhawks can actually hear the tiny squeaks of their prey (small birds like skylarks) even when they are hidden beneath heather. #discoverlindow #lindowman #sparrowhawk

Fabulous news. N. Scotland’s “Flow Country”—a vast region of blanket bog, textured as tapestry & ecologically astonishing—is now a World Heritage site. Flat, self-similar landscapes (fen, bog, moor) often struggle w/ legibility & conservation. Brilliant to see this recognition.
We’re absolutely thrilled that the Flow Country has been listed as a @UNESCO #WorldHeritageSite! This breathtaking landscape in the north of Scotland is internationally important for upland breeding birds including Red-throated Diver, Golden Plover and Greenshank, along with Hen

Timeline cleanse. Around the world, boglands have endured fluctuations and chaos for thousands of years. Misunderstood and vilified, they have protected carbon, water, and even humans in need. We need all the heroes we can get. I vote for bogs.

1/3 Given the notable insect decline across most of the UK I urge all farmers, councils & landowners to delay cutting meadows, road verges etc to at least August @BumblebeeTrust have already said numbers of queen bumbles in spring were ok. We are now all seeing a lack of workers

Who knew?? Ophrydium versatile, a gelatinous blob found in acidic bogs that is apparently a very ancient organism https://t.co/ddHfapllCI wonder if we’ll find any at @lindowmoss ? ! Check out what we DO have at our family bioblitz on 28 July!
