While saying they want to "preserve nature" the Conservative Party have just pledged to scrap the Climate Change Act. This makes no sense. How do more floods, more droughts, and rising temperatures "preserve" nature? That's what scrapping the Act will lead to.

Fully funded PhD with me, @uniexecec.bsky.social @rspbscience.bsky.social @btobirds.bsky.social working on insectivorous bird declines - hopefully esp. House martin www.findaphd.com/phds/project...

Positive #Swift news from #Longridge #Lancashire. 10 out of 12 boxes now occupied in St Wilfrid's church tower plus 2 newly occupied boxes at a friend's house after a 'patient' 🤣 3 year wait. Lots of screamers over town. They are a joy. Summer would be dead to me without them. 💚

#crapbirdphotooftheday I swear that's a cuckoo chick, calling to being fed by an adoring (or long suffering?) meadow pipit. First time I've ever seen that! @keasdenkate.bsky.social

So pleased to see Alan & Colin Price given the Ty Trophy @ Great Yorkshire Show for all they do for nature in general & for #Curlew in particular, working with @rspbengland.bsky.social 🥳👏💪 ‪‪ @mcg-hilary.bsky.social @gtalstonwader.bsky.social www.northernfarmer.co.uk/news/2530236...

22 tonnes a day of microplastic is spread on farms each day via sewage sludge🚨 Inaction from previous Government, despite Environment Agency advice on the need for tighter rules, is completely unacceptable👎 Full investigation via The ENDS Report 👇 www.endsreport.com/article/1924...

Special birds in a special place 🥰 @curlewaction.bsky.social

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025... One of the more depressing things I've read recently, and there are a lot of contenders. Wtf.

Our latest research shows spot-on flea treatments on dogs are released into water when dogs swim even 28 days after treatment - in contrast to the label which suggests dogs can safely swim 48 h after treatment. www.newscientist.com/article/2482...

Spent some time in curlew heaven last week, finding this cutie and it's siblings in a species rich meadow was perfection 😍

I fear lapwing chicks around us will be struggling, absolutely agree that holding onto winter water is essential

Anxiously hoping for a better breeding season for these amazing waders on #worldcurlewday 🤞

We head across to the Americas for today's #WorldCurlewDay Curlew Countdown, with the Long-billed Curlew. This species has been known by a variety of names, including Sickle Bird, Old Smoker & Candlestick Bird. It faces a range of threats including illegal shooting, habitat loss & insect reduction

UK Government has halted SFI applications, cutting off support for nature-friendly farming in England. ❌🍃 Farmers need certainty, not funding that’s switched on & off. Pulling the rug from under them erodes trust, disrupts farming, and stalls critical progress on nature & climate.

Red Deer river for my first post on this app, because I'm dreaming of summer days at home in Alberta, and because as I took this picture, an osprey dove into the river behind me and it was wicked 💚
