Wonderful news, and such a simple solution to boosting numbers. Lets hope other Councils follow suit

We've been at #BES2025 all week and have loved hearing how citizen science and biological recording can support research and conservation policy; biodiversity data needs for Scotland’s nature recovery and how the global ecological community accesses, uses & shares data. We're in the Lennox Suite!

Just imagine if I’d created the Outsiders Project on homelessness by typing prompts into a computer. The images may have been striking but the whole thing would be meaningless. Documenting real and tangible human experiences, the emotions, stories, joy and sadness is something AI can never do.

This country is so utterly fucked.

An absolute disaster for nature, climate and humanity - everything we depend on to survive, from food to water, requires a healthy natural world. In the UK nature is already at rock bottom, one of the worst in the world. This Government is doing the unthinkable and harming what little is left.

This is obscene. Why can't other politicians say that? The 25 richest families are collectively $358.7 billion richer than a year ago, with a combined fortune totaling $2.9 trillion.

Don't bin those autumn leaves! 🍂 They're a free superfood for your veg garden. Use them as a winter mulch to suppress weeds, retain moisture & protect your soil. Or, add them to your compost heap to create nutrient-rich "black gold" for a bumper harvest next year. #Gardening #VegPatch #Compost

Catapult attacks on wildlife are exploding across the UK and many of the people behind them are kids. Birds, foxes and swans are being shot for fun, filmed and shared online. The RSPCA has recorded nearly 900 weapon attacks in just three years, a shocking rise in cruelty

This has to stop. We back a ban on the sale of these items, especially to under 18s.

Bit niche I think, but apparently this parking spot is reserved for female rock climbers.

This prize draw is generously supported by some of the cream of British nature writing. A fiver to enter might win you books, art and other goodies. That’s the ‘maybe’… the ‘definitely’ is that it will support our work to connect everyone in England and Wales with their nearby nature.

Labour is shameful. They told us they wanted to end the cull, but now they've changed their mind. Share if you're furious and want the cull to end immediately!

Shameful. Labour talk about difficult decisions and tough choices. The choice this time? To cut the foreign aid budget. Why are the 'difficult choices' never taxing the wealth of the super rich?

Good evening! I wonder if you marvellous people could give this account a follow and a hello, they're lovely people! *disclaimer alert, I'm one of the lovely people 😬🤗

There’s been a murder... in downtown Otley. 😱 And all for the sake of a temporary footbridge. 🙁

It’s great to see our science story book still being shared & enjoyed. The #Kidlit community are so lovely, often sending me reels & photos. Thanks to @wondersofreading_ for creating this one. 🤍🐻‍❄️🐭🦇 ‘Winter Sleep: A Hibernation Story’ was written by me & Sean Taylor, & illustrated by Cinyee Chiu.

We knew pet tick & flea treatments contaminate every river via domestic effluents. Now we see they are poisoning bird nests too. These hideously ecotoxic compounds are already banned in agriculture so why are they still freely available for pets? www.pan-uk.org/garden-birds...

Due to an unavoidable event one couple have had to pull out of our Isle of Mull tour from the 4th to 12th of April 2025. For details of this all inclusive wildlife adventure send your email address & I will forward on the details. Ideal for a couple but singles are welcome.

Best spuds for your soil! 🥔 Clay soil? Go for blight-resistant varieties like 'Sarpo Mira' or 'Picasso'. 🥔 Sandy soil? Early maturing types like 'Rocket' or 'Lady Christi' are ideal. Don't forget to chit your potatoes before planting! #growyourown #potatoes #gardeningtips

Will multiple gin & tonics or a litre of caffeine kick the arse of the flu? I'm completely sucked out by it 😫 Even a volcanic combination of scotch bonnet chillies, 2" ginger & a bulb of garlic vegetable laden sweet & sour didn't make a dent 🥵 Preventative measures opening up to the postie earlier 😆

Gill's outstanding literature is an excellent way to introduce wildlife & conservation stories naturally into conversation. How many of us fell in love with the natural world when we were young through exploring places that are now lost? These books connect people with the issues of our times, now.

Absolutely this.

Well, hello happy hellebores and pretty perky primroses, it's jolly lovely to see you! 💚💚

This petition represents what people thought was impossible to achieve with tobacco and alcohol not so long ago. It should have been sorted then, so please let's get it done now. Please, have a care, sign and share 💚

UK Govts have received recommendations about need to restrict use of toxic, poisonous lead ammunition to protect environments, wildlife & human health ☠️ Pls join wildlife experts to urge Ministers to implement a swift & total ban. Details 🔽 #ornithology raptorpersecutionuk.org/2025/01/07/u...

‘…and the box-office is drooling and the bar stools are on fire and the newspapers were fooling and the ashtrays have retired…’ I’m a fairly simple fucker. Just happen to be lucky enough to own a few fields and to have found a mission in life that suits me. Generally quiet spoken but rarely… 1/n

A single 400-year-old ancient oak produces 234,000 litres of oxygen a year while soaking up carbon dioxide, and can support more than 2,000 species of bird, insect, fungus, and lichen. Nature is amazing - we need more of it, not less. Please repost if you agree 🌳

It would be great to get this done. See it, sign it, spread it, please! Let's get to January 2026 and look back on THIS year as being one we achieved so much together for the wildlings we love 💚

I have gained a lot of new followers by my profile being included in some lists. If you see this post, please take a look at my profile and then unfollow me if you're scratching your head too! I'm not here to collect people or follow back, I'd rather just be part of a nice small wild community 💚

All the best for the coming year Sam! Wishing you well and thanks for your tireless endeavours to remind us all to take care of ourselves and the vulnerable. AND, sharing that very yummy looking masterpiece, if only virtually 🤗

Well wasn't expecting this news today ! 🎉🎉🥳🚀 I have campaigned against this spaceport on the Moine from the outset as I never agreed on its siting in such a unique, fragile area when 'better' sites were already available. Hopefully that's the end of it ! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Don't forget to pay attention to the little things 💚

I remember when this vertical #urbangreenspace was just in the planning application stage and getting more objections than I expected. It's now a well-established site in the heart of #coventgarden.

It’s not good news on Marion Island, I’m afraid. Suspected HPAI cases have been identified in wandering albatross & giant petrels, as well as a skua. www.sanap.ac.za/forestry-fis...
