What do you think of our Prime Minister @rishisunak as a result of him blocking swift bricks ? Comment below. Don’t hold back - swifts’ existence is at stake. Perhaps he hasn’t quite understood…..

The men with glue sticks, mist nets and guns who kill and maim all kinds of migrating birds around the Mediterranean, for no good reason other than for the fun of it, are proper weirdos, the worst that humanity has to offer.

Some lovely wildlife in Woodland Trust Cymru’s Ceunant Llennyrch woods today. Also another bloody balloon. She may be your Little Princess but the balloon you bought her could kill wildlife & farm animals. Please stop buying this 🤬🤬🤬rubbish

SWIFTS ARE ARRIVING HOME!
Celebrate your first swift sighting by posting on here and tagging me & Michael Gove - if he knows how many of us are DELIGHTED by their return, maybe he will act & greenlight the ready-and-waiting proposal to secure their essential nesting habitat!
