After a week of rain, it was a lovely surprise to go into the garden this morning and see the Musk Rose in bloom. Smells amazing

WTF? This costs just £35 per building
What is the matter with this government?
They look to be fighting a war against nature on behalf of the developers
Indefensible, despicable and stupid

Screenshot of a Guardian news article with the headline: “Wildlife charities urge Labour to scrap ‘licence to kill nature’ in planning bill.” The subheading reads: “Conservationists say part of bill allowing developers to avoid environmental laws by paying into nature fund should be ditched.” Below, a protest photo shows handmade signs in woodland. One reads “BAT FACTS – 14 species of bat in Buckinghamshire. Bats are the only mammals that can fly.” Another says “FAT CATS KILL BATS” in bold letters. The image underscores public anger and the scale of opposition to the proposed Planning Bill.
Labour promised to restore nature. ❌
Instead, their Planning Bill contains a licence to destroy it.
We offered solutions. We’re done waiting.
Part 3 of the Bill would gut the laws protecting our most precious habitats & species.
Without significant change, it must be scrapped.
Frank the Wood Pidgeon walked down the garden path and actually came up to the door to protest the lack of bird food in the feeder. There are 2 other full feeders but that's his favourite 😂 I love these birds, so full of character

Happy #InternationalDawnChorusDay from my little corner of suburbia

The only time of year I will happily get up at 4am! Going outside to hear the 1st Blackbird sing is a truly special moment

Tomorrow is #InternationalDawnChorusDay!
Whether you crack the window open, or step out under the trees, take a moment to pause & listen.
We’d love you to share your recordings, photos or dawn chorus moments with us.
Set your alarms...who'll be up with the birds? 💚

A quiet countryside?
No thanks. Give us sound and song.
This Sunday is International Dawn Chorus Day.
Make a plan to set an early alarm, head to your favourite nature spot and plug your ears into the greatest song of all.

My favourite time of day at my favourite time of year. There is something so special about forcing yourself outside, wrapped in blankets, with a cuppa tea at 4.30am to hear the birds welcome in the day ❤️
