What utter clowns at Shoot Bamboo photography. pathetic school photos of Calum- no engagement, no care- and the photos are 90% wheelchair and 10% child. They provide photos capturing smiles that endure a lifetime, apparently. What a load of absolute bull. Compare with one taken on a phone by us.

It’s nearly time for Roxane’s amazing run across The Flow Country to celebrate the world’s only peatland World Heritage Site; and fundraising to help support it. Please share widely and if you can, consider a wee donation to this fantastic cause. www.justgiving.com/page/through...

What a fantastic week we’ve had in Northumberland- as always beautiful beaches, great vibrant villages and a warm welcome. Wonderful to find wheelchair accessible accommodation to suit Calum so well too.

If only she’d shown such leadership when she might have had the chance, maybe when, you know, she was the actual Prime Minister. Instead of wasting the qualities she undoubtedly brought to the role chasing the Brexit disaster.

“If Kamala wins, only death and destruction await because she is the candidate of endless wars. I am the candidate of peace. I am peace.” - Donald Trump, in Michigan, on Nov 1st.

Well worth a read! 👇 #Peatlands #Carbon #Scotland🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

And that’s almost a wrap on a great few days in the @naturescot.bsky.social Aberdeen office visiting the team here. Great to get a few urban trips on Bob the @bromptonbicycle.bsky.social and an added bonus of regular dolphins 🐬 spotted at the harbour mouth

It’s a @bromptonbicycle.bsky.social powered trip with ScotRail for me this week 😃

The #NFL removing the words "No racism" from the end zones of today's #SuperBowlLIX venue, New Orleans, because the president's attending the game, is so 1936 Berlin Olympics.

Did you catch us on BBC Radio 4 over the festive break? Richard met those living and working in the Flow Country, exploring why this remote landscape in the North of Scotland is so special and how World Heritage Site status will help nature, climate and communities. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

This asshole is: 1. Railing against someone who actually practices their faith as Jesus instructed, something he never does; 2. Railing against people who release criminals from jails when he released over a thousand just this week; and 3. Railing against refugees, when Jesus was one in Egypt.

As the festive season approaches, the team at The Flow Country would like to wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!🎄✨ Thank you for your support throughout 2024 – we’re looking forward to all that 2025 will bring.

Kilted up for the #NatureOfScotland Awards tonight, where I’m delighted that The Flow Country Partnership is shortlisted for a Nature and Climate Award 🙏

“More than one in three children in poverty as UK deprivation hits record high.” This is not inevitable, and it is not irreversible. Both main parties have just decided that some children deserve to grow up in poverty. amp.theguardian.com/society/2024...

A good news story. “The bumblebee population has made an impressive comeback in a developed area by increasing to 116 times what it was two years ago thanks to a nature restoration group.” https://www.scotsman.com/hays-way/bumblebee-population-increases-116-times-over-in-remarkable-scotland-proje…

I am right in thinking everyone wants to Rejoin the EU aren't I? Like if you do RP if you really do

I'm not exaggerating: as a historian I consider it to be historical fact that this is one of the most shameful documents in the history of the United States. It's a concession by federal law enforcement that there's no means available to it to punish one of the biggest traitors in American history.

All polls show that the public mood on Brexit has changed. People want it undone. www.yorkpress.co.uk/news/2473930...

Give us a follow now that we have a presence on here: bsky.app/profile/natu...

Also some Ethernet cables and lightning cables even though none of my devices have used one for years

Finally maybe some sensible transport planning? Look to the Netherlands too, particularly around segregated cycle infrastructure please Ms Haigh!

That we don't think 'it can happen here' is *exactly* why it could. There are many lessons the UK needs to learn from the chill crossing the Atlantic. Really proud of my 68th edition of Byline Times 👇 Available soon in the shops or subscribe now & join us: subscribe.bylinetimes.com #BuyARealPaper

There you have it. Texas is the first state to officially offer up their state for the concentration camps

‘stark evidence global heating is already supercharging deadly weather beyond anything ever experienced by humanity’ Oh well, who’s on Strictly this week ? www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Global Britain.

Only thing I’d suggest is: This welcoming and currently cosy space mustn’t be the place where we hibernate and seek sanctuary from the horrors populism is unveiling all around us. It must be the place from which we defeat it. An echo chamber, perhaps, but one that faces firmly outwards.

Trump wasted no time claiming a ‘mandate’ from voters after last week's election, but the actual results tell a different story. The Big Picture dives into why this election was closer than Trump would like to admit and how Democrats can turn his overreach to their advantage.

Welcome to 2024, where both the US President and nominee for Attorney General have mugshots.

Extreme temperatures increasing demand for electricity for air conditioning is one reason emissions have continued to rise in 2024 – despite the massive build-out of renewables, says @neilgrant.bsky.social. "Most people have been a bit surprised by the level electricity demand this year", he says.

The destruction of heritage for the enjoyment of a few spoiled brats. So sad!

Last week I was at Castle Howard to talk to the Environment Bank about their plans to fund rewilding with the sale of Biodiversity credits. Many carbon credits have been found to be worthless. So can this new market in biodiversity be any more trustworthy? www.thetimes.com/business-mon...

Part of the Xodus. Looking forward to reconnecting here and some reasonable discussion, not just far right propaganda.

So encouraging to see opportunities for supply chain opening up from natural capital investment- and even better that it’s in the Flow Country www.linkedin.com/posts/the-fl...
