Sheffielders have been visiting Wyming Brook for a century. But over the last few years, the beauty spot has been changing, and not everyone is happy about it. The debate raises thorny questions about what nature is for and in whose interests we should intervene. ✍️ @bbobillsmothers.bsky.social

“There is a reason repair shops have disappeared from the high street, it’s not an economically viable activity any more.” “But we’re not Amazon or Boohoo. We want the volunteers to have an enjoyable time.” The Tribune spends a day with Reyt Repair, Sheffield’s only full-time social repair shop.

As if I needed more reasons to hate the laurel hedges spreading rapidly through suburbia... apparently there are people who want to put them on the list of invasive species... which can't be sold or planted...

One of our local colour-ringed juvenile Ring Ouzels has turned up near Glossop. The lower bird in photo, seen feeding on Rowan & Hawthorn. Ringed in the nest at Stanage on 27/6/25 (second brood) - an 18km movement west Thanks to reporter Paul Cole for sharing his photos #ukbirding #yorkshirebirding

This is an interesting record of one of "our" birds exploring the wider region post-juvenile moult. It has moved 18km through the Snake Valley, the first confirmed record of an Eastern Moors juv moving in a westerly direction pre-migration - knowledge only possible through colour-ringing #ukbirding

Keep looking up! 16 Glossy Ibis in the skies of #TheOutdoorCity this morning spotted by @shefbirdstudy.bsky.social - see: open.substack.com/pub/abitblac...
