Today is Gannet be the day that they're gonna throw it back to you

When you remember it's a long weekend 'Yippee!'

We’re "Chough-ed" to share a record-breaking summer for Choughs! 🌊 Choughs (pronounced ‘Chuffs’) - the iconic red-beaked birds of our coastal landscapes - have made a triumphant return across Cornwall and Wales this summer! Thanks to over two decades of dedicated conservation work, a record number of 55 Chough pairs attempted to breed in Cornwall, with 40 successfully raising 108 ‘Choughlets’. Meanwhile, RSPB Ramsey Island and RSPB South Stack Cliffs also reported their best breeding seasons to date. This incredible success is a testament to the passion and perseverance of conservationists, nature-friendly farmers, and the local communities who continue to champion this charismatic bird. From near extinction to a record year, this is a conservation win worth celebrating! #ConservationSuccess #Choughs #GoodNews

Stop. Be still. Catch the Dartford Warbler flitting through the heath…its song, a lively note among the gorse. Feel the warmth of the sun and the wild beauty around you. This is your sign to take a breath, and step outside. #RSPBNatureBreak

Imagine walking through vibrant green spaces, breathing in cleaner air, and enjoying the sight of thriving wildlife - all within your local community. 🌳 Nature-first planning can make it happen. Our neighbourhoods can flourish when nature is at the heart of every development decision: Healthier communities, richer biodiversity, and sustainable spaces are within reach. But to make this a reality, we need your voice...

Giving myself a little pep talk every Monday like

POV: You walk into the wrong meeting

Slow down and take a moment. Let the song of the Wood Warbler guide you…hear its trill float through the trees…watch as it flits among the leaves, dappled sunlight filtering to the forest floor below. This is your gentle nudge to step outside today. #RSPBNatureBreak

100,000 Swift records & counting! 🎉 We’re excited to share that the Swift Mapper app, a citizen science tool designed to track Swift nesting sites and support conservation efforts, has just hit an incredible milestone—100,000 records submitted by dedicated nature lovers across the UK! Why does this matter? Swifts have seen a dramatic 66% decline since 1995, largely due to the loss of nesting sites. Swift Mapper empowers communities to map where these birds are nesting. Every record provides valuable data, helping conservationists protect existing nests and identify where new sites, like Swift boxes or bricks, are needed. This milestone is a testament to the collective impact the public can have on reversing the decline of this iconic species. As Swifts head back to Africa, let’s continue our efforts to ensure they have safe places to return to next spring. You can help prepare for next year by installing nest boxes or Swift bricks, and joining local Swift action groups. Find out more: https://lnkd.in/esbjzWyh #Swifts #CitizenScience

3 Months in 30 Seconds 💕 After an incredible summer of watching our Swift family grow, these little adventurers are ready to begin their long journey back to Africa. Here’s a look back at all the best bits, from the first egg to the moment they took flight. We wish them safe travels and look forward to welcoming them back next spring! With BIG thanks to Louise Bentley and Bolton & Bury Swifts. #SwiftStories
