So good to see this pair of #Curlew one of several pairs locally that return every year to this upland site to breed. Not sure how successful they are though. Hoping they can get a few chicks away this year.

EIGHTEEN MONTHS into my campaign. The proposal to add a swift brick requirement to Building Regulations is ready, approved & recommended by ALL experts. Without swift bricks there’s no guaranteed nesting habitat for swifts&there never will be. The govt CAN give them a future. ⏳

Watch out! Something furtive's afoot in the woods today in my Country diary.

📢 There’s a way around the Govt’s voter-suppression tactics: apply for a postal vote, >no ID needed<. The vote comes to your door, via mail. I just applied successfully; it takes 10 mins all-in (& you’ll save time not having to walk to vote ;)
PleaseRT!

For the love of everything we depend on, can we just get these insatiable ghouls gone now, please?

I've had a little helper today. Mostly it ate the spiders I disturbed when clearing out the shed.
