Did you know that a migrating monarch can sometimes fly over 100 miles in a single day? 🦋 With all the news about monarch butterflies — and yesterday being Western Monarch Day — this is a great chance to learn a bit more about their incredible migration. www.xerces.org/blog/5-monar...

RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch - a fact for you. Did you know that the amount of black on a male House Sparrow's chest is a reliable indicator of its ability to fight rivals? The larger the area of black, the better the warrior. #naturewriting #biggardenbirdwatch

The RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch is coming up 24-26 January. Here's a perfect guide. Amazon reviewers say: "The best bird ID book I have found by far" and "Witty, informative commentary and beautiful photos". @CarlBovisNature @Natures_Voice @JB_Publishing

Delighted that my Tweet of the Day featuring the Snow Bunting was selected for today's "Pick of the Week" on BBC Radio 4 (UK). Blimey - not a bad career weekend. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...
