Our very own local hero, Isabella Tree. Outside, the sea mist hurtles across the scrub and it's decidedly nippy. www.cuckmerewildlifefestival.com

Monday blues? You need something to look forward to on Friday and Saturday. Take a look at www.cuckmerewildlifefestival and buy a ticket. As prescribed by a doctor. Ish.

Did you know that Sunday Evening Syndrome is also known as the Sunday Scaries? Whatever you call that feeling of pre-Monday doom, why not ward it off by buying tickets for this Friday and Saturday at www.cuckmerewildlifefestival.com ? #sunday

Three species of damselfly have emerged from our small garden pond, & are now laying eggs in there. Such beauty, colour & grace is a vivid reminder of the power of freshwater to boost biodiversity, even in the heart of a city. Much else in there as well, including Smooth Newts & Common Frogs.

When all around is going mad (and that includes Brighton beach), why not buy a ticket for some wonderful wildlife authors speaking in a peaceful marquee high above the Seven Sisters? Tickets and further info at www.cuckmerewildlifefestival.com #sussex #peace #wildlife #books

This time next week the festival will be over. Get your tickets now. You at the back: yes you, hotfoot it to www.cuckmerewildlifefestival.com and get clicking. #sussex #wildlife

Glad midsommar! as lots of Swedish people were saying to each other yesterday. You can be more up to the minute by going to www.cuckmerewildlifefestival.com and buying a ticket to hear top speakers in a wonderful setting. #midsummer #wildife

What better way to end the day than with a nice frosted screen and a simple click followed by a refreshing sleep, secure in the knowledge that you have secured tickets for the #cuckmerewildlifefestival www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/cuckmere-w...

Couldn't have put it better ourselves, thank you @bloomsburybooksuk.bsky.social #ff

Guests are already turning up: this oak eggar caterpillar was diligently making its way down the track towards the Coastguards' Cottages. A festival flyer was used for scooping and relocation. #lasiocampaquercus #wehope #mightbewrong

Name a better day out.

I wrote about the raccoons of Berlin in my book 'Cull of the Wild' - an interesting case - should they be killed? Should there be a plan to exterminate them? For a broad overview on the ethics behind these decisions, track down a copy or have a listen! www.theguardian.com/environment/...

So many thanks to everyone who reposted or quote posted about www.cuckmerewildlifefestival.com A wonderful warm feeling that so many people think talking about books and wildlife (do dinosaurs count as wildlife?) is worth an online conversation.

Great line-up of writers for this month's Cuckmere Wildlife Festival: www.cuckmerewildlifefestival.com/whos-speaking. @wildlifefestival.bsky.social

A repost, you say? Oh go on then! Very excited to be speaking at this festival. I’m Sussex born and bred so it feels like coming home. Look at the view in that photo—I can’t think of a better location! #wildlifefestival

Clearly given a choice between @wildlifefestival.bsky.social and Glastonbury, there is no doubt where I would rather be! So come along to Cuckmere - amazing speakers, better toilets and far less chance of having your tent pinched!

I'm camping in sedate Alfriston just down the road from the festival. If someone pinches my tent it'd be sold to a Lewes resident for their kaftan. #notglastonbury

The Cuckoo's Lea - reviewed today in @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/books/2025/j...

It's nearly www.cuckmerewildlifefestival.com time! A repost would be lovely. @davegoulson.bsky.social @charliebingham.bsky.social @sophiepavs.bsky.social @katebradbury.bsky.social @hedgehoghugh.bsky.social @marklynas.bsky.social

The Cuckmere Wildlife Festival (www.cuckmerewildlifefestival.com) is soon! How about a repost? @kneppwilding.bsky.social @tonyjuniper.bsky.social @jimspim.bsky.social @drmjwarren.bsky.social @tweetisaurus.bsky.social

ed. was walking down the track to check out the venue. There may have been an involuntary gasp.

Joining @davegoulson.bsky.social in the Mystery Object Game: who is this, seen on the track down to the Cuckmere Wildlife Festival venue? Forgive the ignorance.

This Thursday at 19:30 (UK time) I’m with the History Association for a FREE evening online about #thecuckooslea, getting full on medieval! If birds, landscape, local history or Old English are your bag, this is the evening for you! Log on here: www.history.org.uk/events/calen... #naturewriting

So @fossilrob.bsky.social & I have a new podcast: The Fossil Files. Each week, we discuss a recently published paper on fossils. It's kind of like journal club, but with only mine and Rob's opinions. You can listen on our website or on Spotify: fossils.libsyn.com or open.spotify.com/show/2jWWagt...

A bit of rus in urbe for your Sunday afternoon.

Worth a click if you need cheering: the weather's looking kind for the Festival!

Saturday speaker @davegoulson.bsky.social with lovely news.

ed. has been playing with what3words. Hours of fun. What's that you say? Oh yes, relevance. Festival parking is to be found at handsets.careful.precautions while the festival itself is at slider.quote.crusaders #postcodeswhatpostcodes
