Seven people in outdoor gear, smiling and standing in a very muddy, wooded area. Logs and puddles of mud are in the foreground.
Mud, mud, glorious mud. The Saturday Hit Squad out on Ebernoe Wildlands Nature Reserve with Ranger Sarah Quantrill. They were having to deal with some of the many types of mud we have in Sussex!

Good to see the guillemots arriving on the cliffs at RSPB Bempton including a bridled guillemot. The gannets are beginning to pair up. 20 Russian white fronted geese flew past, they are everywhere ! #BirdsSeenIn2026 @flamboroughbird.bsky.social @rspb.bsky.social

Great news amidst all the gloom. There have been a lot of beaver releases but these wild releases are really significant in England – finally we are giving this life-giving animal the right to roam. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Our first visit to Mill Hill LNR near Shoreham today. We helped some local volunteers remove cotoneaster, privet and hawthorn to restore the chalk grassland which has declined in quality in recent years to be able to support typical chalk grassland butterflies.

Later today, councillors in Brighton & Hove will be asked to put nature’s rights at the heart of our decision-making.
Green Cllr Kerry Pickett is bringing forward the Rights of Nature motion, inspired by the growing #RightsOfNature movement.

My Bill would ban pesticide use in public spaces.
This is more evidence of children being exposed to unnecessary and dangerous chemicals when playing in spaces that should be safe.
Alternative methods exist, and every council should be using them!

‼️ UK nature is declining fast, yet the Fingleton Review proposes weakening vital protections.
Wildlife can’t afford more loss. These plans aren’t law ... yet.

“The biodiversity target, which means stopping the decline of British species such as the hedgehog and red squirrel, will almost certainly not be met.”
Huge fail by Labour. Where’s the Land Use Framework? Where’s the promised nature purpose for national parks?

Did anyone else have this poster on their bedroom wall growing up? "Chalk Grassland."
This was basically one of the gateway drugs into botany- not only the plants but importantly they communities they grew in.
I loved this poster & it still lives vividly in my imagination.
