This family has a history of destroying priceless natural places. Anyone who protested the destructive golfcourse in #Scotland should be wading in for #Albania. Likewise anyone who loves flamingos, pelicans, seals, turtles, and the rights of people and nature over corrupt money. #flamingorevolution

I find this type of discussion odd. I bought our air-to-air heat pump system almost entirely for heating (which it's slightly more efficient at doing). The cooling feature was just a "free" bonus, for sunny days when we have lots of PV electricity anyway. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

"A kind of conventional wisdom has taken hold among Democrats that climate is simply not a “winning” issue electorally, and that therefore they should not discuss it."

This is amazing. Single species of aggressive, dangerous ant targeted by spider with unique trap. My wonder is always tinged by sadness at the thought of how many amazing species we've eradicated before they were even named or documented. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

@sosswifts.bsky.social Saw swifts nearby for first time in 20 years (one day only). Thinking of doing up and moving my swift next box - never used except by Tree Sparrows and they've disappeared now. Was on South wall, as North wall too low above flat roof and no eaves on West/East. Any advice?

Did u know? To combat the harmful effects of heat during our ever hotter summers, let your plants grow large & spread out, cheek-by-jowl, creating an uninterrupted cool canopy that protects small souls who shelter in its depths; it also traps moisture in & keep temps down - Looks fab too. 🌿🌱🇬🇧🌱🌍🪲🐸🦔🐦‍⬛

Mona Khalil, Lebanon’s most well-known sea turtle conservationist, died of her wounds today after being injured by an Israeli strike I feel sick

@sciencebase.com I tried to help a moth escape the house today, but it landed on my trousers. Seems familiar but can't ID?

I'd signed the UK Gov petition but, as I'm in Wales, this is the Welsh Gov one. This needs to be seen more widely. petitions.senedd.wales/petitions/24...

Awful when you see pointless mowing just because some people like "tidy" The Environment Agency cuts our lode banks at the very time of year when the insects and wildflowers are growing. I saved a patch once for the sake of the Brassy Longhorns www.sciencebase.com/science-blog...

Bit of a temperature crash here in Cambs last night, 11C in our garden, although officially it got down to 8C. 35/19, still with a large proportion (11) being HND #teamMoth Buff-tip, Cinnabar, and Privet HM were pretty much the only non-brown

UK food supply is shockingly susceptible, not only to climate related issues but potentially cyber attack or drone strikes. We only keep days worth of supermarket food in the country and 95% of food retail in the UK is controlled by just 9 supermarkets, using a handful of suppliers.

A more accurate description for this DM headline would be "EXCITEMENT AND JOY AS DIVERS FILM ENDANGERED SPECIES AT REMOTE SITE"

Some Orange-tip caterpillar action on the Lady's smock.

Marine heatwaves and overfishing have caused a precipitous decline in a unique species of whales in Hawaiian waters. The threatened whales have lost as much as 28% of body mass during ocean warming events as they're forced to swim longer distances to find food. phys.org/news/2026-06...

World Inequality Lab's policy proposals include: ▶️hefty wealth taxes on billionaires ▶️sharp reductions in working hours ▶️a change in diets ▶️a shift of investment from materially intense sectors like industry & mining to education & health... "At its core is the concept of sufficiency."

Stoop and pole gate, Central Lakes. A rarity nowadays.

Shows how broken our system is. Corporate greed at the expense of the environment should be punished so hard that it is never even considered. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

It's that time of year when I find Drinker Moth caterpillars crossing roads and paths in front of me. They seem to have a liking for hard surfaces. Phone photos, so quality not great! #nature #photography #moths #caterpillar

Chatting to a neighbour yesterday. Me: "Do you prefer orchids in the grass or short cut grass?" Them: "Short grass." Perhaps the world really is doomed.

A friend has changed his opinion on Climate Change from "it's not happening" to "it's happening but it's not us". Funny how people believe climatologists about historic changes, but not when they say this is different and it's us! I doubt anything will change his opinion; he "knows" he's right.

... and here's the Hate Mail, dramatically oversimplifying a health/science story, just for a change!

What a lovely idea. A literal breath of fresh air. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Kenyon forgot to mention: - Church of England completely abandoned this building, empty for around 5 years - it failed to sell at auction twice - taken over by a local community group - now a hub with a food bank for everyone (all faiths) and a Muslim prayer room (not just a mosque) via Next Deals

Almost a million trees (960,000) are slated for removal from a densely forested island off the southeast coast of India. Help prevent this environmental disaster.

Trump's madness has no bounds.

The 21st Century, FFS, and these barbarians continue with this in the name of ''tradition''!

I’ve been concerned about this since day one of the conflict. Haven’t heard a single politician mention it.

What I can't believe is that it's down less than 10% - what are the other 90%+ thinking?!

A lovely show of Ragged Robin in the meadow this year. #wildflowers

Ordinary people are shocked when they come face to face with the realities of industrial farming (ie it might be discarded #bycatch) www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

We've been in such trouble since rich people and their enablers discovered how to get poor people to vote for them.

Did u know? Cut the mow this summer by creating a wildflower meadow.If you only have grasses in yr lawn,keep them down by adding Yellow Rattle plugs in the Autumn,which'll allow wildflowers to move in,thereby attracting more small souls who'll come for the food/shelter yr meadow provides. 🌿🌱🇬🇧🌱🌍🪲🐦‍⬛🕷️🦋

Did u know?We think of bees as being pollinators,but there are other insect pollinators,such as flies/wasps.The world's 1st were 🪲They evolved 200 mill yrs ago & whilst some are carnivores,the flower beetles have been happily pollinating plants for eons-hurrah!

Baby bum-barrels. Lollypopettes. Not yet teaspoon birds, still salt-spoon territory, but clearly adorable from the get-go, and one of my (many) favourite birds. Thanks for sharing the lovely footage, @johnwalterswildife.bsky.social #birds 🦉

A possible future. Conversely it could go entirely the other way, as if/when the AMOC collapses Britain's climate will be more like Norway and most of the country could be pretty much uninhabitable - leading to a mass migration of refugees to France! www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

@davegoulson.bsky.social has inspired me so much with his YouTube videos about bees. I'm learning so much by observing them. Here's what I think is a Leaf Cutter Bee packing her eggs into an insect hotel with carefully cut leaf circles. She's been busy for a whole two hours. #ukbees #beescrolling

IMPORTANT: The Dutch invested €595 million annually on urban biking, resulting in €19 BILLION saved in public health care costs alone. That’s how smart governments do the math on investing in better mobility. Let’s be clear— it WASTES public money to NOT do it. #CityMakingMath HT @modacitylife.com

I'd like to live in a world where this was surprising. I'd obviously have a wish list of environmental improvements too, but there's no hope of those without competent leadership. The more power this shower get the worse for nature and the environment. Trump v2.0. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

During Covid there was a massive spike in wildlife crime, as no public about to witness it. I've lived here 30+ years and always heard the cries of buzzards. During Covid I stopped hearing them and didn't hear them again for >2 years. There is a pheasant shoot near me. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Really important. One of my kids almost drowned in a garden pool with several adults in. Was just sinking slowly below the surface without really moving. Luckily I noticed his nose and mouth were below the water and swam over and grabbed him.

Can't necessarily rival 1393, but I fitted a charger to our place, which is at least 400 years old (for our Japanese and South Korean cars). There was a Roman villa dig about 200 meters away and an iron age Enclosure dig around 500 meters from here, so who knows ...

The average age of farmers is very high. Getting people to change their ways is hard. I don't think self-regulating will work. Even younger farmers who know to spread nitrogen pellets when rain is not expected cannot convince many older relatives, who do the opposite. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
