'Don't even think about wild swimming here... Treat the river as if it is a biohazard'.

Steve Backshall broadcaster, author and naturalist reveals the utterly shocking if not potentially lethal lab results he got from water testing in the River Thames. 🤮🤮🤮

Latest data on England Biodiversity Indicators released today. The SSSI condition metric shows a fairly dramatic decline in the condition of these, our most treasured and valuable wildlife sites. Our best wildlife has really suffered under 14 years of Tory neglect and antagonism.

If there’s any geography or biology teachers out there, keen to get students outdoors in Norfolk but don’t have the contacts - DM me and we will get you sorted.

Joy.... I've just seen my first Swallows of the year... with a pair of Oystercatchers beneath, in my nxt door field. Add to that the Curlew, Green Woody, and Nuthatch calling and it's a delight to be in West Norfolk this morning.

Many local residents noticed the trucks & waste dumping in the woods & immediately reported dozens of complaints to the authorities that something was seriously amiss. By end of July 2023, Kent Police Ashford, Environment Agency, ashfordcouncil Damian Green MP, & Natural England were all aware

Sad and disappointed to see our local MP (for South East Cornwall) Sheryll Murray MP on this list of signatories.

Please read Guy Shrubsole's full thread to understand the implications of the letter these Tory MPs have all signed 👇

Had this very unusual plumaged Cattle Egret yesterday at El Hondo. Thought it might be juvenile plumage but the bird is in breeding condition. There was also another one present. Has anyone else seen anything similar before? #birds #birdphotography #BirdsSeenIn2024

Feargal Sharkey The Standard Come on everyone retweet this to show the The Standard that we want them to frame one for Feargal Sharkey - he deserves it for his relentless voice bringing the sewage scandal to our attention!

Anyone anywhere near a news stand in central London this evening that could possibly grab me one of these posters? Please!
