It would be great if all the conservationists/naturalists or just folk in the know, could get behind our 2 hectare heathland restoration plan by liking and reposting this. Please show that it matters as much to someone miles away as it does to someone locally! #conservation

The thing is Angela Rayner, people need nature. We ARE nature. And it's perfectly possible to create homes for people while saving homes for wildlife, including newts (who are, we might add, a vital part of wetland life). theguardian.com/politics/2024/…

I agree. I find I miss a lot of posts on Blue-sky.

Afternoon visit to WWTSlimbridge produced a lovely flock of about a dozen Greenfinch in alders near Nene enclosure. 3 Dunlin on islands in scrape from Estuary Tower. Try as hard as I could I couldn't turn one into a Little Stint Slimbridge Sightings #GlosBirds

Great Swan Supper yesterday. Superb talk as ever from Dave. Followed by an excellent meal in the Kingfisher restaurant. Staff were lovely. Thanks to everyone. WWT Slimbridge

Agree. It's easy to avoid the politics if you have a mind to. I find Bluesky quite poor and I miss a lot of posts that should come to me.

Labour are backtracking on a plan to help save birds: by blocking a new rule that would make developers put a £35 nest brick in every new home. They think it'll help win them votes - we need to show it would do the opposite. Sign the petition 38d.gs/0bjy
