Air temperatures, soil temperatures and reanalyses all agree on how the UK’s climate has warmed & varied over the past decades.
Don’t listen to the usual critics who try to claim otherwise…

Great night in Guildford... couple of real 'aha' moments - Rho Chi & your take on Constantine's motives at Council of Nicaea.
Only downside to the evening was finding my can of beer at the Interval was all shook up - had a couple of Guildfordians ducking 😬 ☔️ 🍺
Haven’t been to Farlington Marshes for a while. A few #UKBirding treats 🐦⬛

Saw my first swallow fly overhead, as I took the pooch for a rumble across the Surrey meadow. Great wildflowers on the margins #bluebells @plantlifeuk.bsky.social

My April #BBCCountryfile column focuses on my deep love & involvement with #libraries. Oh how we need them - books & so, so very much more; key to vibrant, resilient, connected & empowered communities. Gorgeous illustration from Lynn Hatzius. People mentioned 1/2

Lovely walk with the pooch around @rspb.bsky.social Farnham Heath. Heard a woodcock that must have been disturbed by all those stonechats & chiffchaffs 🐧

Pooch spotted a woodlark singing away at sunset yesterday.
It was singing away on top of a birch sapling on Surrey Lowland Heath. Tonight’s treat was a rumble around the meadow listening to Meadow Pipits & Song Thrush #CleverPooch
