Going through old pictures while I hit a #creativeblock and found these. I understand not everyone not likes to paint furniture but I'm not good at having plain. #paintedfurniture #upcycle

29 โ€˜missingโ€™ Hen Harriers & nearly 40 birds of prey poisoned, trapped or shot in Yorkshire Dales National Park since 2015 Media attention has been drawn to the Yorkshire Dales National Park this week, following the RSPBโ€™s press release on the suspicious disappearance of a satellite-tagged Hen Harrier named &#821โ€ฆ

29 'missing' Hen Harriers & nearly 40 birds of prey poisoned, trapped or shot in Yorkshire Dales National Park since 2015.

Not so much a National Park - more of a National Disgrace.

was struggling to sketch today so went for a walk to shake it off and get air and picked myself up some nice oak #leaves to sketch. there's something about oak #trees that I love, I don't know what it is. (even if yesterday I took a falling acorn to the face lol) #oak #fall

we desperately need more rain though. the local river is really struggling, in some places there's only a few tiny streams of water. people may love the sunshine but rain is necessary in so many ways.

While saying they want to "preserve nature" the Conservative Party have just pledged to scrap the Climate Change Act.

This makes no sense.

How do more floods, more droughts, and rising temperatures "preserve" nature?

That's what scrapping the Act will lead to.

It is with great sadness that we have been informed of the passing of the remarkable Dr. Jane Goodall, age 91, who died of natural causes in Los Angeles, CA while on her speaking tour in the United States.

Wolf hunters in Spain allowed to keep heads as trophies La Rioja has become the first region to permit souvenirs from killing the animals, to the disgust of conservationists

Outrageous and unacceptable. La Rioja, Spain now permits hunters to take wolf heads and pelts as trophies. This small Iberian wolf population faces serious danger, and years of protection are at risk. #stoptrophyhunting #protectwolves

More information about the suspicious disappearance of Hen Harrier โ€˜Sitaโ€™ who vanished on a grouse moor in Yorkshire Dales National Park In May this year I blogged about a young satellite-tagged Hen Harrier named โ€˜Sitaโ€™ who had disappeared under suspicious circumstances from a winter roost site on an unnamed grouse moor โ€ฆ

New info from RSPB reveals last known location of this young Hen Harrier was on a grouse moor between Reeth & Redmire on NE side of Yorkshire Dales National Park, before she disappeared in suspicious circumstances.

Two Golden Eagles โ€˜disappearโ€™ in south Scotland โ€“ Police appeal for information Press release from Police Scotland, 29 September 2025: APPEAL FOR MISSING GOLDEN EAGLE Detectives are appealing for information after a satellite-tagged golden eagle disappeared in the hills to theโ€ฆ

Gosh, what a mystery. Whatever could have happened to them?

No bodies, no tags, no prosecutions, no accountability, no deterrent. This will continue.

Autumn arrival alert: the Yellow-browed Warbler has landed! ๐Ÿ˜

Once rare, these tiny travellers from Siberia are becoming a more familiar sight as they pass through each autumn.

Weighing just 6 grams, their sharp, distinctive call is usually the first clue they're around.

Have you seen one?

I have loved being able to look up birds I wasn't familiar with and learn about them and listen to recordings of their calls.

i love how it's all black and white, the air as the wintery soft blur, and something about that little red mailbox being the only real colour, just makes the picture. its not your face or completely lost. it sits at the perfect position as well

A small flock of Swifts sweep across a clear blue sky, their slim bodies and crescent wings cutting sharply above the roof of a house. A beloved summer sight - and one at risk of disappearing if protections for nature are lost.

A small flock of Swifts sweep across a clear blue sky, their slim bodies and crescent wings cutting sharply above the roof of a house. A beloved summer sight - and one at risk of disappearing if protections for nature are lost.

The tree you climbed as a child. Gone. The Swifts over your town. Gone. The air you breathe. Polluted. The river. Unsafe.

This is the reality of deregulation.

Cutting protections would mean disaster for nature & our economy.

The UK is not a ray of sunshine but I am sorry for the nightmare of a situation you have and the stress you must feel on a daily bases. The world is truly upside down. Also I love your content and it was listening to you that helped me take my first steps into being me.
