While H is in the theatre with his Mum, I can sneak in a Cask Marque pub (The Three Crowns, Babmaes St.). Great pint of The Clink pale ale (Southwark Brewery). bsky.app/profile/vivt...

I’m in that there London - H (big fan of Stranger Things) birthday present was to see ‘Romeo and Juliet’ with Sadie Sink and Noah Jupe. We hung around the stage door so he could see her go in. ♥️

Before the tern, I spent a fabulous 3 hours on a @harbourbirds.bsky.social Spring Safari boat trip around Poole Harbour. Thoroughly recommend it. 2 White-tailed Eagle and over 40 species of bird in total. Loved it. #UKBirding 📷 Avocet & Spoonbill 📷 Bar-tailed Godwit 📷 Common and Sandwich Tern 📷 Sika

Forster's Tern Holes Bay, Poole #Dorset (see last post for video) with @exebirder.bsky.social earlier today. #UKbirding #birds #nature #wildlife

It’s not looking like #ECFC will be in League One next season 😟 #SemperFidelis bsky.app/profile/offi...

Thanks to some top detective work by @exebirder.bsky.social (asking a local where we could view a distant flock of Tern), we saw the fabulous Forster's Tern from about 50ft. in Holes Bay, Poole, #Dorset. Even I could not mess the video up!!! #UKBirding #Birds #nature #wildlife youtu.be/Smrw-M1FuxA

Or, if you prefer photos (see last post for stunning video of Cirls, Brown Hare)... #UKBirding #wildlife #nature #birds #Devon 📷 Male Cirl Bunting 📷 Brown Hare 📷 Wren 📷 Holly Blue

If you're ever down in #Devon a walk around the fields of Stantyway Farm, in the Spring sunshine, is a good way to spend a morning... Cirl Bunting, Brown Hare and Red-legged Partridge ... worth a few moments of your time (promise). #UKBirds #nature #wildlife #ukbirding #birds youtu.be/YWxZth2ccVs

Wow!

Then vs now. Such a shame.

Dartmoor has been deliberately set ablaze tonight. An apocalyptic photo of swaling (moorland burning) that I’ve been sent, of the moor alight at Corndon Down, Spitchwick Common. All burning is meant to end on Dartmoor today, 31st March - and many birds will already be nesting this early spring. 😢

If only there had been another reason to decarbonise society, invest in renewables, and electrify the transport system before this crisis

A rather splendid day out with 2 of the Exeter Daves ( @exebirder.bsky.social & Dave L). Haldon Visitor's Centre was kind - not too busy & Brambling, Yellowhammer, Siskin all close up. Followed by 1 Euro. White-fronted Goose, Marsh Harrier on Exminster Marshes. #UKBirding youtu.be/Pht_iK2v8bk

Please take a few minutes to fill out the consultation to stop the pervert and illegal hunts for good!!! (Unfortunately even Drag hunts and Clean-boot hunts are used as an excuse for illegal wildlife killing, so they will need to be banned too) www.gov.uk/government/n...

Birthday weekend celebrations include ‘going upstairs’ at SJP for a bit of hospitality with @muddazey.bsky.social @t111cap.bsky.social and Nige. Great food and service - hoping the boys can produce a result on the pitch. #ECFC #SemperFidelis

A most splendid evening out - The Holt (Otter Brewery) followed by Arcadia ( @teamutopian.bsky.social ) and then Hubbox with @t111cap.bsky.social …. a nice warm up before the game tomorrow #ecfc

Back again at SJP on a non-match day. Hoping I don’t look or sound too much like a lemon. #FaceForRadio #SemperFidelis #ECFC

Fabulous evening at the #ECFC training ground; great food, top company and lots of stories from the Club captain and legend, Pierce Sweeney. And I won a bottle of gin to round it all off. #SemperFidelis

So, tonight I’m at #ECFC Training Ground for one of the events for Pierce Sweeney’s Testimonial year. Had a good chat with the man himself and now eating some cracking food in the team’s restaurant. #SemperFidelis

In the mixed cold conditions of sun, hail and wind the adders were searching for sun and each other to keep warm. I love watching them move. @argroupsuk.bsky.social

A wander down to Exminster Marshes to try and find a reported Green-winged Teal with @exebirder.bsky.social earlier. After searching the Common Teal, Wigeon, Gadwall, Shoveler etc etc, he was finally located. #UKBirding #Birds #Devon #wildlife #nature

Badenoch is worried about taxpayers’ money. You read that right. Badenoch, who was in a Tory government that wasted a staggering £100 billion on Covid crony contracts like Mone’s, is now worried about taxpayers’ money.

Six of Britain’s wild bird species are set to be better protected under proposals set out by the UK, Scottish and Welsh governments. The new rules would restrict the shooting of Woodcock, Pintail, Goldeneye, Pochard and Snipe, and introduce a close season for Woodpigeon. www.gov.uk/government/n...

Bloody hell. From secretly-funded lobby groups masquerading as ‘think tanks’ (who continue to dominate our discourse despite Liz Truss demonstrating the dangers) to a secretly-funded political party. Should have seen that coming.

So it turns out Reform are laundering their donations through crypto, before converting them into cash, hiding the original source of the money. So who is really funding Nigel Farage and Reform UK? observer.co.uk/news/nationa...

We are urging people to prioritise the safety of cyclists & pedestrians when making their responses to a consultation on the future of traffic management and active travel provision on Dryden Road and surrounding area.

Best of luck. It’s such a great cause.

Great news. Dartmoor is an ecological disaster zone masquerading as a National Park, as its ecosystems have been grazed out by sheep. Now this must change.

VICTORY! Government to open up the Land Registry - bringing to an end a thousand years of secrecy shrouding who owns England. I’ve been campaigning for this for ten years: the new Land Use Framework, published later today, makes it government policy. 1/ www.theguardian.com/environment/...
