Time to dive into the 2024 @ukbms.bsky.social results. Small Tortoiseshell (Aglais urticae) had its worst year since monitoring began. This was also the case in each of the 4 UK countries separately. It’s had 10 below average years in a row now and has declined by a staggering 86% since 1976.

Sir Keir has misrepresented the impact of conservation on housing in Ebbsfleet. The majority of the homes are going ahead. The distinguished jumping spider isn’t even in the development area, but it is a precious habitat. Let's move beyond nature vs. growth - sustainable development benefits us all.

Caught a Brimstone #butterfly laying an egg last spring. Can’t wait to see brimstones again, they’re often the first species I see welcoming in some warmth!

Is nature recovery being held back by housebuilding? Are existing safeguards like BNG working? The Environmental Audit Committee has an open call for evidence regarding reforms to planning policy and housebuilding targets and how these might affect environmental protections.🌍
