The opposite to #lowcarbonbirding nice one 👍🏻

Keir Starmer has chosen the wrong hippy to bash The PM picked a fight with one of the "virtue-signalling zealots" hobbling British growth. There's one small problem.

2/2… where the process continues.

Climate change will have increased the erosion but hard proving it’s the sole cause and lack of government action.

I hope they win!!

Hard argument, Long-shore drift is a natural process around the entire east Anglian coastline. Build a port (Great Yarmouth) and sea defences at certain popular towns (Cromer and Sheringham) and the process is halted causeing other places (Hemsby, Happisburgh etc.) for erosion to increase

Here’s a radical idea, people weren’t put on this planet to “work”.

Ticks found in pheasant-release woods 2.5 times more likely to carry Lyme disease bacteria Press release from Exeter University (21 April 2025) MORE TICKS CARRY LYME DISEASE BACTERIA IN PHEASANT-RELEASE AREAS Ticks are more likely to carry the bacteria that can cause Lyme disease in area…

When you release up to 50 million non-native pheasants into the countryside every year, there are bound to be environmental consequences.

Here's consequence #105 (random number, I haven't actually counted the consequences because I'd lose the will to live).

Labour MPs in despair at voters' verdict on government Sir Keir Starmer is facing calls for a change of direction after a dismal set of local election results.

@teamlabouruk.bsky.social are you actually surprised!? You’re a bunch of liars and You’ve screwed us all… never have voted for you and never will. Never voted conservative or reform either for the record 👍🏻

We were warned at lest 3 decades ago, no-one listened! Those that spoke up were silenced, now we’re here 🙄

@birdguides.bsky.social another day goes by with no notifications… it’s not me!! Please sort it 🙏 This has been an issue since your recent “improvements”…🙄

If we also used the correct mathematical calculation for a billion (being one million x a million = 1,000,000,000,000) rather than the US Billion being 1000 x a million = 1,000,000,000) which is 900,000 million SHORT of actually being a billion) and the debt is suddenly much, much smaller!!

This Lesser Spot feeding behaviour is remarkable, not known to us previously.

@birdguides any chance you can fix the notifications from your app?? They’ve stopped working. None yesterday and none today so far despite my settings being correct. I’ve logged out and back in, no change.

Not sure switching off notifications is an “improvement”!?! Despite my settings being correct, I am no longer receiving ANY notifications from the app!?! Not one yesterday.

Over-dosing on blood-lust.

Government not taking climate threats seriously - watchdog The government has made little progress in preparing the UK for rising temperatures, climate watchdog the CCC says.

The driest spring on record EVER and you’re boasting about FLOOD defences!?! When will you wake up to reality!?!

Climate changes isn’t just about flooding… 🙄

Lesser Spotted Woodpecker at its nest in a tree

Lesser Spotted Woodpecker nesting now well advanced, pairs & nest excavations found by volunteers from Devon across to Sussex and North to Shropshire & East Anglia. Thanks everyone a great start. Lots more to be found & monitored for breeding success. (Photo by KB) www.woodpecker-network.org.uk

Hope the Eagle was okay!!!

Government ‘failing to support natural regeneration of trees in England’ Campaigners say targets for woodland creation are unlikely to be met because 95% of grants are for planting

When I tried to discuss this issue here, several forestry folk leapt up to say "it's not like that." One of them starkly misrepresented my position, going so far as to make up quotes to support his claims.
Well it is "like that", and it's a major problem. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Looks like heaven!

More natural regeneration PLEASE!! Enough of the sterile plastic tubes, with wooden stakes and plastic cable ties polluting the environment! #biodiversitydeserts

It’s very simple, if you’re born with a penis = you’re a man, if you’re born with a vagina = you’re a woman.

Did you fail biology at school?

Like the photo-bombing Dunlin 😂 BarWits v smart 👍🏻

Full of plastic tubes, wooden stakes and cable ties. Planted “forests” are not good for biodiversity, natural succession is the only way to allow woodlands to be recreated. Man cannot do natures job. This will be a biodiversity desert.

Lots of embarrassing moments at the Public Accounts Committee inquiry on biomass eg: tinyurl.com/PAC-DRAX-KPMG

Key PAC demand not being reported = Drax release KPMG report

Pls repost below👇👇

You’d be correct, females are the well marked birds, not the males.

At least four singing male Willow Warbler at Cawston Heath 19th April. As abundant there as Chiffchaff.

Yesterday #Starmer chucks £6bn subsidy at carbon capture👇
