in case you're wondering, "what's the harm in claiming an extinct species has been brought back from the dead" when it most certainly has not, our interior secretary is already using it to justify taking animals off the endangered species list

A thriving natural world is the foundation of economic growth and vital for health and wellbeing. Language that pits these against each other is unhelpful and deeply concerning.
Nature is not a blocker to growth.
The UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves has claimed that 'The balance has gone too far in the direction of always protecting every bat and every newt.' But how can this statement be true when the UK is one of the most nature depleted countries in the world?🌍

Cover of a book by Laurie Lee called ‘Village Christmas And Other Notes on the English Year’. The cover has an image of children playing on sleds on a snow covered lane
It was wonderful to spend a few hours through Christmas and the new year with this! I can heartily recommend it to anyone

The top of a baby's head in a had, carried in a baby carrier
I can confirm that it is difficult, but not impossible, to wade through snow with a camera and not wake up the baby strapped to your chest.

Black branhces sillhoutted against a cloudy sky, a bird eats berries at the bottom right
Greenfinch (Chloris chloris) A group of greenfinch strip the last of the berries from thin branches, bowing low like courtiers to pluck them from their perch🌿

A red squirrel in a larch tree, surrounded by brown branches
A red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris) leaps stops to nibble on the cones of a bare larch. It turns one over in its dextrous paws, extracts the seeds, drops it almost absently then moves on to the next. A magpie (Pica pica), not dextrous enough or too lazy to open cones itself, waits for an opening 🌿

River, steaming in the cold. Grey columns supporting a bridge at the top
The air is so cold that the river steams like it is boiling. Steel grey water, grey concrete bridge, grey snow. People bring colour, with their painted wooden houses and the waterproof houses of those who brave the cold for a walk or a run.

Snowy pavement next to a road
The snow textures the world, it crunches, squelches, rasps, cracks, thuds and rustles. It reveals the rhythms of the city, as it reveals the habits of animals. SCars are privileged over people as piles block paths and cut-throughs that are open the rest of the year, sacrificed for clear car parks.

A snowy landscape and bare trees under a grey sky
Week 2 - January 6th-12th.
It is a week of textures and silhouettes rather than movement. Nature presents itself in monotones

Fieldfare pluck berries from those street trees that have held on to them through the months since the long-forgotten autumn. The world seems to wait for the thaw, it will be a while yet.

A group of eider in a marina at the bottom, separated from the fjord by a harbour wall, with a island with buildings on in the background, with a snow-covered hill behind that
In the marina, a raft of eider float around searching for something unknown to me.
Common eider (Somateria mollissima)
Crows in a snow-covered tree
Nature is generally muffled and in waiting. The trees bare, the grass covered. The only immediately apparent sign of life is the birds. Hooded crows hoarsely croak in the trees and groups of sparrows and tits flock to those gardens with feeders hanging in the freezing air.
Hood crow (Corvus cornix)
Diving boards, covered in snow with steps leading down to the fjord
The signs of summer that are not packed away for the winter sit idle, waiting for the return of the warmth.

The sun low in sky shining through conifer trees over a snowy landscape
On a cold but sunny Sunday young and old flocked to forest tracks and trails, with only toddlers and foreigners such as myself seeming to be anything less than an expert.
