Absolutely amazing. The senses that animals have that we don't. Birds using magnetic fields to navigate and insects using static for so many reasons.

Fascinating. Thanks Sam; LNHS and biological recording company.

A very interesting subject; thanks for the upload!

loved this ! thank you

I live on the north shore of the Thames estuary and have witnessed over the past two decades the foundations of beach cabins being undermined by higher wave heights ( during wind storms ) and tidal range. So the question I would like to ask is: Does sea level rise become exacerbated by estuary funnelling?

Fishes!?

Next video: Flying carp in the Chicago River.

such excellent research and synthesis-thank you.

replant the Vicars Oak!

Jersey Cudweed is super-common locally (SE London) now...

Is this a re-upload?? I've been looking for this video for a couple of years. It literally has three likes and I'm one of them, quite mental.

Thanks Mr Merryweather!

Wonderful vídeo!!!

I love my garden snails. For years I found them adorning a topiary bush after a midnight or early morning rain. For years I saw no visible damage to the bush, but last year they went after the spring bark. We had an early spring. I imagine the snails came out in force with little to eat. Many of the branches had died in one season. As a preventive for the following spring, I used a barrier of sand and pulverized charcoal, in which I spread around the base of the bush. It seemed to have reduce the number of snails by about 90 %. So I was pleased with the results. There could be other factors that reduced the snails, but I felt my prevention had some effect. The sand/carbon mix I thought would be good for the plants and other animals as well.

Lovely!

That was a fantastic talk. Many thanks!!

Soooooo boring. Badly photographed. Talking heads! The birds hardly got a look in. OMG. CANCELLED.

Thanks for making this available online - I've been slowly trying to learn cranesbills, and this overview has been invaluable!

excellent presentation well done Ricardo

"promosm"

Thank you from Germany. Very interesting :)

Why is it called the Great NORTH Wood? North of where.?

👍👍👍👍👍👍

A brilliant talk, thank you.

Excellent talk, would disagree about nettles though. Have them south facing and cut back in June to get fresh new growth and they will be teeming with caterpillars.

Really engaging talk. Thankyou.

Wonderful to see the drive to help this most beautiful enigmatic bird.

My Pecans tree are slowly dying. I recently noticed Ringless Honey Mushrooms growing on my lawn and around my Magnolia Tree. I am now researching information on what to do to help the trees from this diseases.

Had the honor of birding with Ricardo this year and saw so many wonderful Jamaican endemics, including everyone's favorite (and mine) the Jamaican tody 😊. But the chestnut-bellied cuckoo, Jamaican becard, thrushes and so many of them were wonderful to see. Also the spindalis! What a beauty. Great at his job and a solid guy. Enjoyed the presentation. I have to come back to see the rest of the endemics we dipped on, which weren't many.

Humphrey Davy?

I just found out Fungi are related to Animals

A shame about the background noise! I find it a bit distracting.

Majestic

Good healthy info! Thank you.

Please note the speakers were Ieva Aliejunaite and George Lewis.

Great, thanks for posting

Very informative

Thank you ❤

I've been kind of emotional lately and looked up videos about hares and found this! It's a very lovely presentation, I enjoyed it a lot, thank you! 🥺

I had not seen the giant yellow swallowtail butterfly for many years however I now see them daily in my garden I am really happy.

Another find relative to this film by @Julie Berk. The London Birds Souvenir Programme docs.google.com/document/d/1X8WUboiq2abeubY3XpJSVSquF8UFaxdokSe55GYhg7o/edit?fbclid=IwAR0EBTt9RJTICu04IgYIn2ZGyZjt2Pn_-79-toKzCkrsR5OCus8TophdO0Q

Just obtained this information from our president. 🦆'London's Birds' (1963)🐣 This film was made by members of the Society, some of whom spent many hours patiently waiting in hides to get the shots they needed. Filming began in 1959 and continued until 1962. Footage of 69 species of birds was included. It was a silent film with a written commentary that had to be read out at each screening. The first public screenings were in March 1963 in St Pancras Town Hall.

It would be great if we could also acquire the soundtrack too, or if that is no longer possible, have someone dub a new soundtrack along with a suitable bird/urban sounds background. Any takers?

This is a wonderful talk by a lovely lady and so inspiring. It is the story of the Curlew, the most secretive and enigmatic bird of the uplands and wetlands, with its haunting and unique bubbling call.

Like the previous comment. Could someone please add a note about this film. Also, is it possible to add some narration. I'm not a regular birdwatcher, however I would certainly appreciate some comments from knowledgeable people. Thank you.

Really great talk, thanks for uploading as I missed it live :)

Hey, loved your contents, are you also in audea?

I keep on waiting to see WHEN is the government of Mexico going to publicly show what they are doing to save the endemic and endangered butterflies from Mexico.

Thank you for this fascinating talk about the much ignored hares! For the first time on UA-cam the real reason why hares and rabbits eat their cecotropes is mentioned: to enable the digestion of cellulose. This is HUGE, and I wish more time had been spent on that, because this is precisely what gives hares and rabbits so much energy - the energy that was mentioned at the end as being needed to maintain two pregnancies, for example, but also to allow hares to explode in speed to 50 MPH and maintain 45 MPH plus accelerations and braking and direction changes! Indeed that's what distinguishes leporids from other herbivores that cannot have double pregnancies and run like hares while living exclusively off vegetation: the cecotrope-eating system of cellulose digestion: it allows them to use all the energy available in a plant, while having a small digestive system more like a carnivore's tract instead of a herbivore's! I hope more videos like this come out because we have only begun to learn how unique hares and rabbits are.
