HOT. 🥵 When temperatures soar, a shallow dish of water can be a lifeline for birds, hedgehogs, bees and other garden visitors. Remember to replace it with fresh water daily, and if you can, add a few pebbles so smaller creatures have somewhere safe to land and drink.23 Jun 2026 13:59 +0000at://did:plc:rpealguof6k3rbxbuourojhb/app.bsky.feed.post/3moxkq26pxk2zhttps://bsky.app/profile/rspb.bsky.social/post/3mowyvk3sns23We're sorry to announce that, due to the Met Office's red extreme heat warning for London on Wednesday, we’ve taken the difficult decision to cancel the Wonder, Loss and Action lobby for the safety of everyone involved. ❗ Registered attendees will receive further details by email.

Within hours, they’re wading through shallow lagoons, feeding themselves as they follow both parents along the water’s edge. The adults stay close, watching carefully and calling sharply at the first sign of danger. #SpringStories13 Jun 2026 09:04 +0000at://did:plc:rpealguof6k3rbxbuourojhb/app.bsky.feed.post/3mo5vk2sgz32dhttps://bsky.app/profile/rspb.bsky.social/post/3mnyukzdja62aWhite-tailed Eagles build enormous nests reused year after year. Chicks are fed by both adults and stay in the nest for up to 12 weeks before taking their first heavy-winged flights. #SpringStories11 Jun 2026 09:03 +0000at://did:plc:rpealguof6k3rbxbuourojhb/app.bsky.feed.post/3mnyukzdja62ahttps://bsky.app/profile/rspb.bsky.social/post/3mnwe2pwhny2fSkylarks nest low in tall grass, raising streaky chicks well-hidden from view. Both parents feed them, dropping low to the nest and slipping away quietly to avoid drawing attention. #SpringStories10 Jun 2026 09:02 +0000at://did:plc:rpealguof6k3rbxbuourojhb/app.bsky.feed.post/3mnwe2pwhny2fhttps://bsky.app/profile/rspb.bsky.social/post/3mnttlmr3ns2aInto the wetland with the Spoonbill… Both parents feed chicks by regurgitating food. Fledglings (nicknamed teaspoons 😭) grow fast, and their spoon-shaped bills start to form even before they leave the nest. #SpringStories09 Jun 2026 09:02 +0000at://did:plc:rpealguof6k3rbxbuourojhb/app.bsky.feed.post/3mnttlmr3ns2ahttps://bsky.app/profile/rspb.bsky.social/post/3mnrnrhcmks24The Government is considering planning loopholes that could strip nature from England’s most deprived communities. ❌08 Jun 2026 12:13 +0000at://did:plc:rpealguof6k3rbxbuourojhb/app.bsky.feed.post/3mnrnrhcmks24https://bsky.app/profile/rspb.bsky.social/post/3mnrd3gcjak2cBuzzards nest high in woodlands, raising chicks in stick-built platforms. Both parents share the hunting, delivering food until the gangly young, with a little encouragement, finally take flight. #SpringStories08 Jun 2026 09:01 +0000at://did:plc:rpealguof6k3rbxbuourojhb/app.bsky.feed.post/3mnrd3gcjak2chttps://bsky.app/profile/rspb.bsky.social/post/3mnoslu675g2kIt's World Swift Day! ❤️ Swifts raise their chicks high in eaves or nestboxes, returning to the same site year after year. When the young fledge, they launch into open air... & just keep going! They’ll remain airborne for the next two or three years, until it’s time to breed themselves.07 Jun 2026 09:01 +0000at://did:plc:rpealguof6k3rbxbuourojhb/app.bsky.feed.post/3mnoslu675g2khttps://bsky.app/profile/rspb.bsky.social/post/3mnmc7vkaeb2nCurlew chicks roam soon after hatching, downy and long-legged on open ground. Parents guide them with soft calls, rising to defend them with looping alarm flights if needed. #SpringStories06 Jun 2026 09:03 +0000at://did:plc:rpealguof6k3rbxbuourojhb/app.bsky.feed.post/3mnmc7vkaeb2nhttps://bsky.app/profile/rspb.bsky.social/post/3mnjrpgg63v27Cuckoo chicks hatch early and throw out the competition...literally. Raised alone by unwitting foster parents, they grow fast, rapidly dwarfing their much smaller hosts. Like this little Reed Warbler, just doing its best. 👇 #SpringStories05 Jun 2026 09:02 +0000at://did:plc:rpealguof6k3rbxbuourojhb/app.bsky.feed.post/3mnjrpgg63v27https://bsky.app/profile/rspb.bsky.social/post/3mnhba73hm62hBlackbirds build deep, cup-shaped nests in shrubs and hedges. Chicks fledge after about two weeks and scatter into nearby cover. Both parents continue to feed them while they learn to forage. #SpringStories04 Jun 2026 09:02 +0000at://did:plc:rpealguof6k3rbxbuourojhb/app.bsky.feed.post/3mnhba73hm62hhttps://bsky.app/profile/rspb.bsky.social/post/3mneqrh7q7y2dGrey Herons nest high in noisy colonies called heronries. Gangly chicks beg loudly as parents regurgitate their catch into the nest. Fledglings often linger near water after their first unsteady flights. #SpringStories03 Jun 2026 09:02 +0000at://did:plc:rpealguof6k3rbxbuourojhb/app.bsky.feed.post/3mneqrh7q7y2dhttps://bsky.app/profile/rspb.bsky.social/post/3mncbl2oykc2tHappy #WorldPeatlandsDay! 😍02 Jun 2026 09:24 +0000at://did:plc:rpealguof6k3rbxbuourojhb/app.bsky.feed.post/3mncbl2oykc2thttps://bsky.app/profile/rspb.bsky.social/post/3mncacicfwy2jGolden Plover chicks hatch in shallow ground nests, fluffy, speckled, and wide-eyed.

Both parents feed the chicks hundreds of times a day, timing their efforts to peak caterpillar season.
