Hallelujah to what Dr Jane Goodall said.

Billy Bragg, in a calm, measured way made Tice and Reform look like the total fools they are.

This is a brilliant post about heat pumps and policy. As a new heat pump owner, it has al already transformed our home; water, heating, aside from the carbon reduction the cost (we combine solar) has collapsed. Like getting an EV there’s no going back, this has to be the future.

I’m expecting an equally big announcement on a cycle path network🤔

I get crappy AI images of ‘perfect’ wildlife scenes/habitats coming up on here. Hate them. As an antidote - real wildlife is 200+ #Swallows and #Housemartins gathering on the wires near my house. No embellishments! Sad to see them going bit joy at seeing them.

The relief was there when they won the GE but was tempered by the realism (concern) where Starmer would go. What is so disappointing, with a clear mandate they could’ve been brave, different. Any positive policy/change has been cancelled out by cock-ups & unnecessary lurch right.

Great news. Actually checked out our own membership yesterday (all good) and once COVID (yep 3rd time and wiped) really want to get involved.

Saved for posterity. ✊

Save Coul Links! Your voice could help save this precious habitat from a new threat of development.

So please take a little time to send a message and stand up for nature, including Fonesca’s Seed Fly: action.rspb.org.uk/page/166270

Save COUL LINKS protected nature from destructive Déjà Vu Groundhog golf course I've just signed the petition opposing plans to build a destructive luxury golf course at beautiful rugged Coul Links in the Scottish Highlands. Will you sign too?

This cause is close to my heart - please sign: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/sa... our finest, internationally important wildlife places need full protection. This application for a golf course ffs should never have seen the light of day. 😡

The next one is good going to be a lot bigger. I have this on permanent loan as a special permission!

Today I’m mostly trying to do my bit for fungi conservation. Key point, the UK is globally important for grassland fungi. We protect just 5 sites in England. We have 26 #IUCN Red listed grassland fungi species i.e accorded the same status as Giant 🐼. I reckon we should be doing a bit better?!

Today as Trump violates the Uk, the weather is appropriately stormy and foul.

It appears to be clearing from the south west👍

Weather is wild. See you later.

I have not heard a single rational or reasonable defence of the so called right (who in the current context are really proto-fascists) when challenged, that defends their outlandish position that the ‘left’ are the carrying out violence against the right. USA is in a seriously bad place.

Worthy of the Victoria Cross.

Thank you Kai, had some technical issues but just about made it work!

Hi Sam, I understand it will be available on YouTube.

I wonder how his buddy Alistair Campbell feels about this🤔

The wonderful world of Waxcap Grasslands Exploring the ecology, conservation and global importance of these vibrant fungi

Nigel Farage uses private company to pay less tax on GB News earnings Exclusive: Reform leader’s use of personal services firm is a practice criticised across the political spectrum

Since this is apparently a resigning matter, I’ll just leave this here…

With the lovely rain finally dampening the grasslands I’m looking forward to waxcaps and other fungi to bury my head into the turf and disappear from the shit show going on in the world. Selfish escapism, but needed just occasionally. Anyway, some waxcap fungi pics⬇️

Hello @bsky.app. we are Norfolk Ponds Project - a science-led partnership NGO focused on pond restoration & #ghostpond ressurection. We aim to educate, lobby & inspire others on ponds. We used to Tweet & had 5000+ followers. ***Please follow & help us achieve the same here***!!!

Goodness, yes.

Dogma, neo-conservation absolutism is overtaking ecological thinking and costing nature in the process. It’s happening in the UK too either by misguided ideology (rewilding - which is important) poor understanding of grazing ecology and/or decline in sustainable farming/grazing practices.

Take note Yvette Copper👍

Bats getting in the way again. They’re so inconsiderate 😉

You've Been Trumped Too review – Scottish widow defies future president Resistance builds to Donald Trump’s attempts to build a golf resort near Aberdeen in this prescient documentary sequel

Good luck. The golf course that destroyed a protected sand dune SSSI. Trump treated the locals at Balmedie with contempt. Govt complicity and corruption allowed Trump to wreck our natural environment. www.theguardian.com/film/2020/au...

Looking forward to your book, genuinely fascinated by this subject. As an ecologist, this stuff is disturbing but I was intrigued on a visit to the Orstvarderpsaslen years ago and the reconstructed Heck cattle and their dark fascist history. Somewhat scary reading too😳
