This is a fascinating bit of research. I am certainly going to start checking the road pipes in my study areas for signs of carnivore activity. Why do lynxes visit road pipes? sidorovich.blog/2018/07/11/why… via WordPress.com

Outragous: just hours after ending the threat of #fracking for gas, the UK Government has effectively approved the UK's first deep coal mine in over 30 years. The company plans to mine 2.5 million tonnes of coal every year for 50 years. #ClimateEmergency ft.com/content/1fc133…

A rather spectacular return to form from the Tory government: Just hours after the government put a temporary ban on fracking, it has said it would not block planning permission for a new coal mine in Cumbria. It's 2019 - we don't need new coal mines! ft.com/content/1fc133…

How wonderful. The 'Tortoise' slow combustion stove, invented by Charles Portway and made in this town of #Halstead, #Essex, looking as good as new.

From Ian McMillan: Early stroll. A freshly-painted sky has been hung out to dry. The sun rises like a psychedelic satsuma. Pink blossom confettis a red car. #IansBest3

My 2018 bear tracking season got off to a good start today with the discovery of several bear scats and the front paw print of a yearling. Also found a wolf scat as a bonus.

The NHS isn't perfect but it will never make you bankrupt!

Finding the tracks of adult bears can sometimes be hard as they seem to avoid stepping in mud; bear cubs however behave more like human children and seem to enjoy deliberately stomping through muddy puddles!

The perfect place for a picnic lunch break on yesterday's bear tracking transect!
