🚜All the wrong kind of drama today... Picture this: fields with curlew chicks hiding being cut for silage! Enter Bruce, our cool curlew champion contractor. With a thermal drone, and a crew of fabulous farmers and volunteers, a dashing (sic) rescue was orchestrated. 1/

The Greatest Bird On Earth

No British summer would be complete without the screech of Swifts darting overhead. This distinctive call is incomparably evocative of a blissful, warm summers day; for me a trigger of childhood me…

Decades of stagnation from the ineptitude of more Governments than you can count on your fingers is being blamed on bats and newts , again . We cannot allow this new bill to wreak havoc on environmental protections . Top work @CraigBennett3 @WildlifeTrusts for taking a stand .

UK Government promised voters they would “protect nature” and “ensure…new towns and housebuilding include nature at their heart”. So why are new planning changes weakening environmental protections for developments? 😕🧵 (1/5)

The ONLY possible reason for this is to deliberately antagonise the public and forcibly show an anti-green agenda. Utterly senseless. Thick as mincemeat these lot and we dared to think it would get better... @Keir_Starmer WTF?! theguardian.com/environment/…

WTF? If Govt can’t even agree to this, which costs them zero & with no down-sides, what hope that it will step up to the bigger nature challenges we face? This is a *popular* policy, for heavens sake. Obstinate tin-eared stupidity doesn’t come close theguardian.com/environment/…

Breaking news!The government has just voted against the same swift brick amendment they voted for 2 years ago. We can only save our swifts if we all act. Email your MP. Ask them to sign edm.parliament.uk/early-day-… MEET your MP. Tell them how much this matters or we’ll lose them
