The southern marsh orchids at Pilton Green in Gower, South Wales are thriving. They love wetland environments, often home to a diverse range of plant and animal species, so them thriving in this area is a sign of this land making a positive difference in the biodiversity of the area.

With the 2024 SMP Annual Report showing a 93% decline in breeding abundance since 1986 and a per-pair productivity of just 0.03 in 2024, it's great to see some positive Arctic Skua news. Best of luck to the pairs on St Kilda! #Seabirds @btobirds.bsky.social @jncc.bsky.social @rspb.bsky.social

6 nests and 2 territories found this season marks a remarkable increase from the previous peak of 4 Arctic Skua territories recorded on #StKilda. A relatively recent colonist to the archipelago, this must be one of the only increasing populations of this species nationally @smp-seabirds.bsky.social
