I tweeted about my irritation with mainstream nature conservation the other day, and it prompted some interest. I've now written a blog: 'Time to Get Angry: Beyond the Cosy Consensus in British Nature Conservation'. jmdean1982.medium.com/time-t…. Please have a read.

Hardly anyone would dispute that the RSPB has been a phenomenally successful organisation. It is one of the largest civil society…

I am delighted that my review on familiarity as a cue to kinship in social birds has been selected for the @FrontEcolEvol 2020 Highlights. It's a pleasure for this to feature alongside other excellent research published in a very challenging year #Ecology shar.es/aoIkaB

Dutch radar reveals mass southward movements of birds in response to frost and snow. The interesting thing, to me, is that birds only seem to move after conditions deteriorate. If they would be able to predict such cold events you'd expect them to start moving sooner, right?

Can anyone help with where to actually purchase wild, lead-free venison from in England? My understanding is that most for sale is farmed, and that it's near impossible to establish if it contains lead when wild shot. Would love to find a good source. theguardian.com/environment/…
