Farming That Feeds People, Not Profits Small farmers are disappearing while corporate giants cash in. Itโ€™s time to fix EU farm policy for people, not profit. Join the call for fair prices, healthy food, and climate action!

Europe lost 5 million farms in 15 years. EU subsidies flow to agribusiness while small farmers disappear. I just signed to demand a farming system that works for people + planet. Join me! action.wemove.eu/sign/2025-04...

With rubbish mounting up in British cities like Birmingham, and fly-tipping increasing, there are more complaints about rats and more use of rodenticides, so the problem will be getting worse for urban raptors.

We've just published our latest report: COLLATERAL DAMAGE, highlighting the widespread poisoning of birds of prey in England by the misuse & abuse of rodenticides.

Govt scheme to reduce exposure has failed.

The Ocean is our strongest ally in coping with the climate crisis. But we continue to hurt it, day by day. Itโ€™s time we protect our wounded planet and let it recover to become resilient and healthy again โ€“ because our planet is blue. Sign the OceanCare petition now: action.wemove.eu/sign/2024-6-...

I had a colony of these at the bottom of my garden when I lived in Ely, Cardiff many years ago. They were there every autumn under the trees and overgrown privet.

I was talking about cats to @kevadams.bsky.social and remembered a photo of one my cats called Cuddly when he was younger and thought he was a Prairie Dog or Meerkat.

I live in Portugal and it gets so hot and dry here that there's hardly any flowers in bloom in summer. I know what you mean. There's nothing for the pollinators.

Someone needs to invent cat watches?

08.11.2023 21:47 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 2    ๐Ÿ” 1    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Great idea! They wake me up when they want breakfast and sometimes that can be a lot earlier than I'd like. Speaking of watches it seems hard to find old-fashioned wind up ones that aren't a crazy price. Battery ones always run down I find.

My cats didn't care about the clocks going back, they still were in favour of waking me up horribly early!
