Many MPs claim to care about nature.

Tomorrow afternoon will be the test.

On Tuesday 3rd March there will be a debate in Parliament on red lines for nature.

We’ll be watching to see who shows up. Empty seats will say a lot.

Tell us who you expect to see there tomorrow. 👇

She certainly did exactly that.👌Thank you very much for looking and for commenting, much appreciated. David 🙏 ☺️

Alan H's @alan678.bsky.social theme for today's #BirdOfTheDay is #PerfectLight. Here is a Green Heron (Butorides virescens) that had concealed itself in foliage. Almost invisible until the dappled sunlight fell on it and illuminated that yellow eye. Taken at Sweetwater Strand, along Loop Road, Big Cypress Preserve, Florida Everglades.

‘Who’d guess they’re the same species?’ What Italy’s wall lizards reveal about genetic diversity and why it matters Understanding biodiversity within species is key to our understanding of why nature works the way it does, say researchers

"Diversity within species contributes to ecosystem functioning and represents an often-overlooked layer of biodiversity."

#Biodiversity - we have so little understanding of what we are trashing

Lovey image Alan. 👏
