We’ve loved sharing news with the friends we’ve made here over the last 15 years. But many have disappeared, we’re not getting the reach, and so with heavy hearts we’re putting our X accounts into hibernation. Find us flourishing instead on new and improving habitats... 1/2

🔔 Nature is at risk, but your voice can help. The Planning Bill is nearly law. An amendment passed by the Lords yesterday offers vital protection - but it needs MP support to stay in. 📢 Tell your MP: please back Amendment 130. https://t.co/P2F3e2pLJi

Yorkshire’s woodlands are in crisis.🌳 After the driest spring in 90 years, trees are shedding limbs and wildlife is struggling. Just 8% of Yorkshire is wooded. Let’s root for our wild woods before it’s too late: https://t.co/OnygqXoTNU

🦢 Just had a fantastic visit to Staveley Nature Reserve with Yorkshire Wildlife Trust and their Chief Executive, Rachael Bice. 👀 It’s fair to say that my bird spotting skills could do with some improvement. 🧵1/3

Delighted to welcome Water Minister, Emma Hardy MP to our North Cave Wetlands reserve today. Wildlife is thriving here, and the reserve has protected the local area from flooding 💚
On her final #ThingsCanOnlyGetCleaner Tour stop, Water Minister Emma Hardy MP visited North Cave Wetlands. By absorbing excess rainwater, places like @NorthCaveWet play a crucial role in managing flooding and protecting communities. Read more: https://t.co/0Egymfda8x

Yesterday morning, out of precaution, we advised people to stay away from our reserves at Spurn, but we have now returned to business as usual. Read our latest update on Monday's oil tanker collision: https://t.co/7WqBCUOzMS 📷 Harry Appleyard

Our thoughts are with everyone on the ships and the rescue crews. This is obviously a very worrying incident and we’re following developments closely, including waiting to see if there is any...

As the 1st double figure movement of Siskins and Chaffinches for the spring at Spurn started to get underway, this Woodcock made a brief but incredibly close pass as it flew south this morning. One of very few in-focus images I've ever managed to get of these! @spurnbirdobs

It is with great sadness that we have reported an outbreak of avian influenza at @NorthCaveWet. We are liaising closely with @DefraNature on next steps, and following their advice during this time. More information:

Another beautiful sunrise/sunset combo at Spurn today, with great views of 9 White-fronted Geese in The Triangle inbetween, appropriately for World Wetlands Day. Great to see the size comparison with the Greylags too. #worldwetlandsday #spurnbirds @spurnbirdobs @YorksWildlife

Come and work with a great team doing great things (and be great). We're recruiting two (TWO) Peat Project Officers to help us restore the #GreatNorthBog while we stare into the glowering distance. Closing date 26/02: https://t.co/9EHuuBmej3
