Unbreakable spirit! Glory to Yana!

#Iceland #whales

Nothing makes me happier than Kristján Loftsson, of Hvalur hf., Iceland’s only whaling operation, saying this:

Long may it last.

Native birds trying to nest and what are we doing, setting fire to our uplands so we can shoot another native bird for 'fun'. What biodiversity and climate crisis?

What's not to like about my wildlife rich, wildflower meadow with its deep, carbon sink roots and ability to cool the air in a heatwave?

Dear Fishermen,

You have removed my food from the ocean and driven me inland to find food in lakes and rivers. Now, you don't even want me there. But, you go home to your larders stocked with food, so do not need to eat the fish that you caught. Totally selfish!

We all know Cody Roberts should be locked up, but the pitiless laughter in this sickening scene is equally disturbing.

He knew his audience would enjoy it.

Great stuff

Black-tailed Godwits looking fab now, sure to be heading to Iceland soon. Connah's Quay, Dee Estuary - at least 800 roosting at high tide, mostly distant, but a handful flew past the hide. Pete Potts Jen Smart (she/her)

For the sake of our world’s safety, Russia and Iran must be defeated.
The Western allies of Ukraine and Israel MUST ACT NOW.

Too many innocent people are victims of these criminal regimes. For them it’s already War War III 😔💔

Free all countries from dictatorship!!!

When my husband died suddenly and unexpectedly in June 2020 during lockdown, it was experiencing thin place moments that gave me solace. 'Heaven and earth (as the Celtic saying goes) are only three feet apart, but in thin places that distance is even shorter.' Michaela Strachan

We're surrounded by toxic chemicals & PFAS in every part of our lives - & those poisons are seeping from our waste into our rivers, our seas & our groundwater. Laura Orlando of Just Zero talks getting off the PFAS merry-go-round.👇

Dandelions & Herb Robert in a pot.....well why not? ☺️🌿

8.000 years ago Neolithic farmers came to Europe but hunter-gatherers lived there until 5.000 years ago. But their coexistence was probably not peaceful. Who would have expected anything else? Today?

Why did Europe's hunter-gatherers disappear? livescience.com/archaeology/wh…

Fantastic day at RSPB Frampton yesterday with friend Tim.
