Powerful stuff.

This morning I saw a female blackbird gathering nesting material while a male blackbird was bathing in a puddle. It must be Spring! #birds #nature #springtime

Not been to my favourite spot for a while. It was good to be back! #sunset #phonepics #MorecambeBay

Wish you were here because I still love you.

The sun came out and lit up the railway viaduct at high tide at Arnside today. #phonepics #Arnside

The English parliament failed first time round to support our Swifts, but, as usual the Scottish one showed the right way forward. Let's stick it to the nature- phobic Labour Party and get this petition heavily supported. act.38degrees.org.uk/act/save-our...

My spider plant has started flowering. #spring #reproduction #houseplants

Great Tit (Parus major): This 14cm (5.5in) bright yellow breasted bird has a black head and long black bib. Feeding on insects this bird is native to Europe, Asia and North Africa and has a wingspan of 25cm (10in). Thank you Martina Olivia for sharing this photo taken in the UK. #greattit #tit #bird

A #Morecambe ghost story.

Hurrah! Though not the complete result @hannahbournetaylor.bsky.social has been campaigning for

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Great news from Scotland: a LAW to ensure new buildings have swift bricks. (Contrary to Labour spin, there is no law and no guarantees that builders or planners will incorporate bricks in England.) www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The edge of the storm cloud. #Chandra #weather

A useful read for anyone who has been trying to ignore the news from the US. The steps that led to this weekend's killing by US ICE agents. @chrischirp.bsky.social takes you through the last year that led to this. christinapagel.substack.com/p/the-ice-st...

🌡️🌊 2025 was the 3rd hottest year on record, and the last 11 years are the hottest ever measured. This is what climate breakdown looks like. Yet the UK is STILL considering new oil and gas fields?! 1/2 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Let's get one thing straight at the outset, I am definitely not in the crowd overleaf.

This trend should grow and the memberships of charities should encourage it. So, plz encourage it! share.google/blxnSMPUEDoz...

This is lovely! People flocking to see a bird that we probably take for granted in our gardens.

8.4 GIGAWATTS of offshore wind just contracted in the UK, thanks to Ed Miliband's recent auction - enough electricity to power 12 million homes. The US can boil in Venezuelan oil. We're investing in energy you don't need to invade other nations to obtain www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Tomorrow I'm going to try Rachel's trousers on.

I have just looked out of my front window and watched a flock of 49 curlew land in the field across the road.(I counted three times to be sure!) There are usually one or two there every day, but I have never seen this many before. #birding #birds

I'm so sorry to have to disappoint you but I've been unable to gain any information for you.

#Biodiversity and #CropDiversity have to be the foundation of a healthy future. Industrial monoculture - the plantationocene - threatens us all www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Red squirrel in the snow

Fascinating, troubling story. (I missed this earlier in the week - sharing it in case you did too!) www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Do not bother to write again.

Will be interested in your unbiased views about the recent events in Macclesfield.

Freezing temperatures and a dusting of snow last night have turned RSPB Leighton Moss into a stunning, sparkling reserve. Water rail were easy to see at the edges of the reeds, marsh harriers were very active, but I didn't get to see any otters this time. #winter #nature #phonepics

Billiard room, piano, stuffed animals, hot scones.

I'm running the 2026 TCS London Marathon dressed as a badger to raise money for Norfolk Wildlife Trust, the oldest of @the-wildlifetrusts.bsky.social – celebrating its 100th birthday this year. Please have a laugh at me and help save wildlife! 2026tcslondonmarathon.enthuse.com/pf/backtheba...

The Kent Estuary at Arnside. Before and after the tidal bore. #Arnside

Into the 4th year of swift brick campaigning. Sigh. No I don’t have a team & no I’m not funded. The Scottish swift brick campaign is a real chance but I need your help. Email me at [email protected] for an easy template - will take two mins.

'Seagull' at Sunderland Point near Lancaster. I do like a moody mono 😀 Took a careful approach in wellies to get right up to the prow with my Nikon Z 20mm F/1.8 S lens #sunderlandpoint #boat #wreck #mono #blackandwhite #photography #NikonZf #lancaster #overton #morecambe

Poem with a subliminal message.

New Year's Eve starling murmuration at RSPB Leighton Moss. Luckily I was standing right next to where they eventually settled down for the night. The sound was incredible! My filming skills not so good! Turn up the volume on these clips. #murmuration #birds #phonepics

Greetings from Kyiv, where generators are singing, St Nicholas drives by, and snow is falling. I love our spirit. May the world see it.

This beautiful hand-made stained glass goldfinch on a teasel head was a Christmas present from my husband. Made by the talented Debbie Copley in Kendal, it will join the other birds I have bought from her studio over the past few years. #stainedglassart #birds

I assume and hope you have not told ANY of our relations about my foreign affair. Do not let them know you know. PLEASE.

It’s #winter. The buzzing has stopped - mostly. So what’s happened to all the #bees? Let me explain. Please #repost this thread. Don’t just like/look. It literally takes you a second. Costs you nothing. Bees are in trouble and need you good people to help. Thank you. #share #nature #education 1/14

Another beautiful sunset over .Morecambe Bay today. #sunset #MorecambeBay #phonepics

We were having a rest, and I was lying down, when I felt something in my left ear. I picked it out and suddenly I felt a stinging. I'd disturbed a bee that had crawled into my ear. On the beach, I found a ring.

PHWOOAARR

Thank goodness for that. Something that shouldn’t have happened, happened. And now it’s set to unhappen. Great for students, great for research in general and great for Britain. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/d...
