Swifts have declined 70% since 1994. They fly from Africa to breed here, only to find we've blocked their nest sites. A £35 swift brick nest box was proposed for all new buildings. The construction industry lobbied Labour to block it. Biodiversity sustains life. Labour sustains economic power.

Anyone who doesn't think Donald Trump is a Dictator needs to look out of their window. Knocking down the White House. Illegal. Preparing to invade Venezuela without a single vote. Illegal. Suspended the Government probably forever. Not illegal but it's what a Dictator would do.

This might also explain the slow and steady decline of common insects. I am sure they cannot avoid these pesticides either and low levels could disrupt behaviour or reduce survival rates www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Natural England tried to price us out of taking legal action against Badger culling but it backfired when the High Court threw out NE's claim ⚖️ We continue. Substantive legal challenge against NE Badger cull licences takes place in December 🦡 Press release 🔽 wildjustice.org.uk/badgers/high...

Some of you might recall this story from yesterday, about a Dorset dairy farm being fined £6000 for polluting 4.5km of a river with slurry, effectively killing all wildlife in the river. Astonishingly, this is an organic dairy farm. www.gov.uk/government/n...

Provide diplomatic cover, weapons and espionage support for war criminals. Arrest those protesting against war crimes as terrorists. How many people voted for this?

Among yesterday's arrestees is Deborah Hinton, an 81-year old retired magistrate with an OBE. That's Yvette Cooper's idea of a terrorist. Language has been turned on its head. The law has been turned on its head. Murdering children is righteous. Trying to stop it is terrorism.

Remember all that fulminating in the billionaire press about "free speech" (ie their freedom to abuse Muslims, trans people etc with impunity)? Now that people are being arrested for speaking about an issue of the utmost gravity, the self-appointed guardians of liberty have fallen strangely silent.

How can we just keep seeing this every day? The numbers are repeatedly just horrific and outrageous.

Difficult to conceive of a more ill-judged decision then the one the Home Office took here. It is an affront to free speech of a kind which is really indistinguishable from what you'd see in a police state.

Ummm. Imagine such sentences for raptor persecution on a shooting estate, or for river pollution, habitat destruction or felling enacted by a farmer, large landowner, private company, council contractor or developer? What could POSSIBLY be the diffence I wonder? www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

🚨 @carolinelucas.bsky.social: “The #CANBill is back in Parliament today. We need to build pressure on the Government to make time for it. If you share my frustration, join the campaign, and make sure the Government hears loud and clear that this is urgent and must be passed into law, now.”

Not really that surprising. Scams and greenwash abounds. We are in a huge mess but some people are still driven by greed and profit. It will end soon enough... www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Often it is the law that is wrong.

When a country starts arresting 83 year old female priests for peacefully holding up a protest sign you can't stop but think of 1930s/1940s Germany...

Last nights mothing was amazing again. Had the trap out in the orchard near Bridgwater/Somerset and at midnight we counted over 60 different species of moths! Plus some interesting non-moth trap intruders. #MothUK , #WildlifeUK , #NatureUK , #Invertebrates

Well that's it for the Puss moth caterpillars, the last one of 6 went off to pupate yesterday. I managed some more timelapses as it built it's cocoon between a log and pile of cardboard. This is 4hrs worth of building work. #Teammoth #ukWildlife #uknature #moth #invertebrates #insects #caterpiller
