A great fact... If you are lucky you may hear an owl call whilst you count the stars.

#LockdownLearning
Did you know that the distinctive tawny owl call ‘Tu-whit-to-woo’ is made up of two birds calling to each other? The female says ‘ke-wick’ and the male replies ‘hoouh’.

Ask a child what bats feed on and some will certainly say ’blood’! British bats are insect feeders, feeding mostly on midges, moths and beetles. A single pipistrelle bat can eat up to 3,000 insects in one night!

#LiDAR data allows us to create a detailed model of the earth’s surface, by allowing us to remove any tree cover and look at the topographical changes underneath. We can interpret this data to find unknown archaeology.
Why not have a peruse of your local #NewForest area?

@sdnpa is leading a group of conservation orgs, including @ARC_Bytes, to link and repair heathland habitat - critical for sand lizards - across Sussex. Meanwhile @NewForestNPA has been reintroducing the sand lizard since the 80s and protecting native populations in the New Forest

This beautifully-written tribute to the rare sand lizard by @parkerpj01 is well worth a read.
(Find out more about sand lizards in the #NewForest here: newforestnpa.gov.uk/discover… )
@parkerpj01 used his lockdown outdoor time to go in search of the rare, shy sand lizard in our #26Wild project with @WildlifeTrusts. His patience was rewarded and recorded in his lovely centena/essay. bit.ly/3bh0TyC 🦎
With 🙏 to @SurreyWT, @ARC_Bytes and @ARGroupsUK
