So pleased that Edgbaston Pool SSSI has recently reopened - a real ecological jewel in south Birmingham.
On Wednesday there were three Little Grebes, about thirty Black-headed Gulls, a few Shoveler, and nine (nine!!) Herons!

Bumblebee queens can hibernate safely under snow!
Whitehorn et al. (2025) found that queens survived winter extremely well under different snow-pack conditions. Snow helped insulate them from the cold, but warmer winters led to greater weight loss. ❄️🐝
