This is the most extraordinary photo - a polar bear dining on a dead sperm whale in amongst the ice floes.

as it's 100 years since the first planting at Kielder, I went for a look at some non-tree history around Plashetts.. including finding the entrance to a drift mine, and iron-rich water flowing out of an old air shaft sarahdal.github.io/northumberla... #Northumberland #Hiking

Watching that Attenborough Secret Garden programme and wondering what percentage of folk get Beaver 🦫 visiting their garden We are up the hill from the River Tay across a road - it really likes our early sprouting Ground Elder in April

It’s hard to believe, but JD Vance has somehow found a way to be even more incompetent than Trump.

This massive Gunnera is totally failing in its attempts to be inconspicuous while trying to sneakily move this old Cornish bridge to a new location.

A few new species from Penicuik area today: Birch Woodwort, Spanish Gorse (presumably a garden escape), Tasgius morsitans - a rove beetle that seems to have very few records in Scotland and a common bog moss with cow horns Sphagnum auriculatum #panspecieslisting numbers 2279-2282

In fact... this is searchable by state and individual farmers. farm.ewg.org

Farmers doing themselves absolutely no favours once more. The millions in subsidies and preferential tax treatment not afforded to every other business are never enough.

At least it got it right about coot owners. Never to be trusted in my experience.

Remember folks, don't use Meta for Welsh translation work..

Reform won't be happy until the world lies in cinders.

I haven't posted anything about it for a while, but I'm still plodding on with writing and illustrating my Birds of Eyebrook Reservoir book with a view to hopefully publishing next year. Here are a few more illustrations from it. #art #WildlifeArt #birds #UKBirding

I wonder how long it will be before Farage and his right wing pals start doing the same thing in the UK?

Climate Crisis/Biodiversity Crisis - what on earth should I do? Go on extreme day trips that’s what. Apparently it’s ok as you can offset with a green energy tariff and becoming pescatarian 🙄 Humanity is f**ed. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

It's actually a good thing that Keir Starmer isn't prioritising posting on social media when he's considering the Iran war. The people who think he should be are fundamentally unserious people who need to sit the fuck down. You are not owed a first-person narrative from the Prime Minister!

Rules and norms about war crimes are a global public good. If you or anyone in your family is between 16 & 60, male, & walks, you have a direct personal interest in it not being legitimate for them to be assinated for walking within any undeclared 3km radius around any combatant.

First cowslip where there will soon be a thousand of them. This little field was grazed bald when my partner bought it 16 years ago but has gradually grown into a wonderful flower-rich meadow. #WildflowerHour

This week's total towards #nhs1000miles: 22 hiking miles, including 4 Wainwrights. Not bad for a 12-week-old knee! #LakeDistrict @kitzingercelia.bsky.social

Glyphosate harms nature & people Yet, now it is spring, many councils spray it in public places There are other, much less harmful approaches to controlling ‘weeds’ (see the link below) Or even let the weeds blossom to support biodiversity!

How dare these people call themselves followers of Christ? He wakes up on Easter morning and posts the F-bomb and war crimes? Imagine their outrage if any Democrat ever posted this insanity? How dare he ever call anyone else deranged?

Mick Lynch "Nigel Farage is a racist." RT if Mick is right.

media couldn't wait to talk up reform as the tories' replacement but they're conspicuously silent about the greens replacing labour. even after literally doing it in gorton and denton

This organisation does a huge amount with limited resources. Well worth a follow.

Last week it was more young people than ever adopting religion. God needs to make up his mind as presumably he is in charge of all this messaging.🙄

The local chalk stream, thick with Minnows, I think maybe spawning as many looked very gravid. They were being hunted by a Chub and a Perch that periodically ambushed them from a hiding place.

Slashing nature protections sounds like a great recipe for degrading soils and further endangering our ability to produce food in the future.

Don't forget that he also prefers an insurance loss adjuster to decide your medical treatment instead of your doctor.

Farage wants to double the price of bread, import chlorinated chicken from America, slash nature protections, and bring back fracking– and it’s pretty clear that Nigel Farage would be a disaster for the country.

We will never forget who backed this war.

Can’t think why anyone is remotely surprised by this from Offord. A vile piece of work like the rest of his so-called political party.

They must have horrifically toxic shite in Oxfordshire to be having an effect on marine life 50 miles downstream….
