New floodplain meadows handbook

Floodplain Meadows – Beauty and Utility: A Technical Handbook provides a timely and thorough overview of these important species-rich habitats which are in serious decline yet provide substantial benefits to biodiversity and human society. This handbook will be of interest to ecologists, land managers and restoration practitioners, along with rural historians interested in agricultural heritage.

Produced by the Floodplain Meadow Partnership, the book is published by NatureBureau - an innovative ecological consultancy and design and publishing company whose diverse list includes some of the most informative reference books on British and Irish Wildlife of recent years.

The Marine World:
A Natural History of Ocean Life
The Marine World: A Natural History of Ocean Life
The Marine World: A Natural History of Ocean Life is an all-encompassing voyage through the life that flourishes on all scales, and through all types of habitat, in the marine environment. Bacteria, whales, marine flora, birds, fish and more feature in this visual feast for anyone interested in, or involved with, the life of the sea.
Wind change heralds return of swifts
The RSPB reports on the return of swifts to UK skies after a change in wind direction brings the spring migrants here in pursuit of their insect food source. Although swift populations reach 90,000 migrant pairs, they are amber-listed and in decline. We recommend supporting them with specially-designed swift boxes.

Corvid co-operation
Co-operative breeding is common in the crow family, with 40% of species known to raise young in family groups where members take the role of helper to the nesting females. A new study looks at the influence of food availability on the appearance of this trait, with a focus on European carrion crows. 

"Durrell disciple" wins conservation prize
Prof Carl Jones, who worked closely with Gerald Durrell and is chief scientist of the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust, will be awarded the £170,000 2016 Indianapolis Prize in London. Prof Jones, from Carmarthen, Wales has worked to save many species from the brink of extinction - including the pink pigeon and echo parakeet during 40 years of work in Mauritius.
