This is a wonderfully simple visual of how targeted the extinctions in the late Quaternary were… (“Target” is a deliberate word choice. Can’t believe some people still doubt we did this)

Fellow passenger: Where are you going with a brick in your bag? Me: Parliament

BIG thanks to ⁦Bev Turner⁩ and ⁦Andrew Pierce⁩ for giving swifts airtime today on ⁦GB News⁩ 🤩WE need to ensure our elected govt mandate swift bricks - without them there’s NO nesting habitat for swifts in the UK&there never will be. Write to your MP. Now.

Call me sad, but this photo brings me such joy. I hate fences. Almost obsessively. After 30 years, this is the last visually and physically intrusive fence removed from our farm. It’s a tiny piece of a much bigger jigsaw, but I feel better! #MakingRewildingHappen #Northwoods

Hard to believe its Britain. Lizards in the long grass. Orchids sprouting through. Red deer are the kings in this valley with beavers their willing allies. One day soon wildcats will join them. Martens will find a way. Demoiselles and emperors purr above its extending swamps.

This scene exposes the UK population decline of swifts. A joy & relief but also💔to know what a thriving local population looks like versus the reality in the UK.Who’s seen as many swifts as this lately? ⁦Zac Goldsmith⁩ ⁦Baroness Sharon Taylor of Stevenage, OBE⁩ ⁦Matthew Pennycook MP⁩

Another #swift nest box up today for Sarah in Westgate. Keeping the skies alive.

Just found this on my feed . . . Well , I’d rather spend every breath trying to do something than waste a lifetime doing nothing And ultimately - you never know . . . worms turn , sometimes on a sixpence #RestoreNatureNow

Just come away from the #restorenaturenow march which thousands attended and so looked for coverage of it on the BBC website; NOTHING. This is a problem. Chris Packham Feargal Sharkey Liz Bonnin 💙 Megan McCubbin @georgecmcgavin Mark Avery Craig Bennett

Birmingham city centre this week. I found a whole family of Black Redstarts. (made work more bearable)😀

You can threaten & seek to intimidate me but you will never silence me when it comes to seeking to protect the stray dogs of Turkey. Their pain & suffering shames Turkey 🇹🇷 Recep Tayyip Erdoğan Ekrem İmamoğlu (International) #Turkey

Update: Neonic exemption licence applied for 2025/26 ⚠️ Neonicotinoids are harmful water-soluble chemicals that leach into the wider landscapes, and Defra UK have no idea how much of it is in use, or where. All while butterflies are dying. 🧵(1/3) #ButterflyEmergency
