Ha! Have no plan to ever step out on that bridge!

Have only admired it from the land. I find the road down to lovely Murlough Bay scary enough…

It’s been a tough day. Take a pause. Focus on what’s good. Focus on what’s important.

We're losing wildlife. Frogs, butterflies, bumblebees, hedgehogs, moths, bats, insects, birds are all declining. But if more of us take positive actions for biodiversity in our gardens, communities, landscapes and towns, we can help nature bounce back. Who's in?

New fence, new hedgehog highway! Rewilded corner. Hopefully = happy hedgehogs!

A vibrant close-up of a bumblebee feeding on a bright purple thistle flower. The bee's fuzzy black body is adorned with distinctive yellow-orange bands, and its delicate wings glisten in the light. The thistle's spiky green base contrasts sharply with its soft, spindly petals, which are dusted with pollen. It highlights the vital role of pollinators like bumblebees and butterflies.

Just 1 teaspoon of neonicotinoids can kill 1.25 BILLION bees.

Yesterday, over 1 million voices told the UK Government: stop allowing banned pesticides in our countryside.

DEFRA, it’s time to end ‘emergency’ use.

Protect pollinators vital to nature's recovery & our food security.

Back from the dead: the ‘zombie’ ponds repumping nature into Essex farmland A conservation project is helping identify and restore wildlife-rich sites previously degraded and dried up

If you're feeling down about the state of nature in Britain, take a walk on a regenerative or wildlife-friendly farm – the Grays in Essex (and their ponds, and linnets) are one of many inspirational farmers changing the countryside for the better. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Probably a green winged orchid. But maybe early purple. Either way it’s a bit of colour from 2023 on a grey day.
