I forgot to mention that the House Martins returned about 10 days ago. Just a couple at first but they're arriving in numbers now and fixing up the various, winter damaged nests around the house. 🥰 #BirdsOfBluesky #Spring #HouseMartins #Nature #Wildlife

BOOM! South Australia's power prices have plummeted as they near 100% renewables, proving to the world that relying on wind and solar with battery back-up is possible, more reliable and costs people less. THIS is how we avoid the next oil crisis. #EnergyRevolution

The PCR positivity map is out and national levels have nudged up very slightly. As the hotspots remain the same as last week, we can conjecture the rise is mostly a localized one. jamestindall.info/skeuomorphol... 1/8

The natural grace of an English Bluebell can only be enhanced by the rare occasion they are missing their violet-blue pigment About 1 in 10,000 is an albino, which means we have about 500,000 bluebells, as we normally get about 50 albino’s

#theBeeAt3 Basic bee facts every day at 3pm. # 303 # 302 contd. Bumblebee food demand peaks during March to June. Shortage of food during these critical months can result in dire consequences for colony survival/queen production and risks local population extinction. #bees #nature #environment

Today’s moment of calm The first bluebells are out which means it won’t be long now until the orange tip butterflies will be flitting about. Just a bit of sunshine needed to get everything moving along, that’s all we need.

It's migration season! Monarch butterflies travel over 4,000 km to winter in Mexico's stunning oyamel forests. Witness the beauty of nature's incredible journey.

1. To forecast with rigour involves first understanding the events in the past that led to the present. As I have stated before, there is a direct line of causation from the political effects of the early Covid response to where we are now: the highest probability of nuclear weapon use since 1962.
