Big win for wetlands! Thanks to habitat restoration at Blue House Farm, the black-headed gull has soared to the top of our survey list, with numbers also rising for Mediterranean gulls and shovelers. Proof that restoration works. Report by Jenny Rhodes

Reform UK’s Bury St Edmunds and Stowmarket branch has deleted its social media accounts after a series of inflammatory posts. But the explanation now being offered is raising almost as many questions as the posts themselves.

Debate in the New Statesman. Once again, this from @carolinelucas.bsky.social , who really gets it, is excellent Community is vital. It's about contributing as well as receiving. And a lot of people in the UK, as elsewhere, will find that persuasive. @mikegalsworthy.bsky.social 1

The heckling that Hannah Spencer was subjected to during her speech from MP’s was immature and demonstrated the bubble that MPs operate in. Most if not all work places do not have this drink while you work culture, neither should parliament. Grow up! www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/hannah...

A much-needed moment of distraction…

On David Attenborough’s 100th birthday, we remember his message of hope that ‘human beings have power in their hands, not to destroy, but to bring to life’. Hope made spectacularly real at Mucking in Essex! eastangliabylines.co.uk/environment/...

A welcome distraction from political shenanigans. Puffins doing their thing…

🙄 🤷🏼‍♀️

Now.. very slowly for those at the back… Who wins when states go to war and when politicians promote fossil fuels over renewables and push to scrap Net Zero? Because it isn’t us. Our bills don’t go down. Our planet doesn’t get prioritised. Our futures don’t get safer. (Sky News)

Voting is next week: If you don’t have an accepted form of photo ID, you have till tomorrow 28th, to apply for a voter authority certificate. Here’s how 👇🏽 www.gov.uk/apply-for-ph...

Oh absolutely. I'm not going to assume April is always like this because obviously it's not, but solar has provided all our energy today and then some. Been exporting since about 10am. Water heated, car charged. Magic!

It’s Earth Day. Climate change mitigation action isn’t abstract anymore. It’s happening in homes, farms and communities right now. Prof Jules Pretty on what's changing in Essex.

I thought Jamie Oliver did all this 20 years ago..?

🚨"A new report by pro-European pressure group Best for Britain, based on polling by independent pollsters YouGov, suggests that one way of restoring his fortunes could be to shift to a more aggressive position on getting closer to the EU."

Lovely people, these Reform UK candidates for the upcoming election, and great to know they're on our side.

A true stronghold: Fingringhoe Wick supports 1% of the UK’s nightingale population. The birds have declined 90% in 50 years, so this reserve is a vital sanctuary. Come and enjoy their song. eastangliabylines.co.uk/environment/...

The local elections are in 3 weeks - next Monday is the last day to register for a vote. It’s easy to do and the link is in here ⤵️ www.gov.uk/vote-uk-elec...

This is fast change.

This is fast change.

Impossible to disagree with a single word that Ben Rhodes (Obama era NSC official) is saying here:

Translation: Net Zero threatens the value of our proprietor's investments. The world must cook for the sake of his portfolio.

So true.

Britain smashed more renewable energy records last year. Wind delivered 30% of electricity, solar generation grew by 37% & UK emissions fell to 54% of 1990 levels. More clean power means more control over our energy security, bills and our future.

EU is encouraging people to drive, fly less, and countries to roll out renewables asap.

Brexit was sold as a plan. It promised control. It turned out to be an argument without a plan as to what came next, even years on. Now Britain has to work out what it actually wants from Europe writes Niall Ó Conghaile.

Amazing 👏 👏 👏 This morning nearly 91% of UK energy generation was from renewables… grid.iamkate.com

There's having a brass neck and then there’s whatever this is from Boris Johnson

Fascinating 🦫

No evidence found of ‘family voting’ in by-election. Can’t say I’m surprised.

Visceral backlash, loathing & song. This week’s Pecksniff Diary has this & more on Reform’s stunt, Tories on the brink of extinction, the drifting LibDems, the Greens digging in & fractured councils with May elections looming. It's another corker of a read... Cheers!

Britain has lost 118,000 miles of hedgerows, writes Kate Moore. What’s replacing them – and why does it matter more than you think? This restoration project offers a rare answer. eastangliabylines.co.uk/environment/...

Lots of renewable energy being generated atm. Very little gas being used. 👍🏼 grid.iamkate.com

A small step in the right direction.

The UK could do this too. We should.

Hard to be optimistic about anything at the moment, but there is one positive development I suppose. Donald Trump has made the strongest possible case for why countries must turn their back on fossil fuel. And they seem to be listening.

Nature is in crisis – but solutions are within our reach. Bug hotels, hedgehog gaps, wildlife ponds. Wildflower patch. The smallest action we take can change how we care for the world around us, one person at a time. Here are some great ideas ⤵️ @eastangliabylines.co.uk

Today is International Rewilding Day. So while we are focusing on what each of us can do to help wildlife, here 👇 are more ideas to create your own haven

Without a referendum…

Since Ofcom seems to have given up, we asked 20 experienced journalists from a range of backgrounds to watch multiple hours of @gbnewsonline.bsky.social . Their conclusion: the channel has, in effect, become Reform TV. How did it happen? www.thenewworld.co.uk/alan-rusbrid...
