Save our swifts: include swift bricks in every new house I just signed the campaign calling to save our swifts, by calling for the UK Government to follow Scotland's lead and make it the law for all new houses to be built with "swift bricks" - safe places f...

Great news from Scotland: a LAW to ensure new buildings have swift bricks. (Contrary to Labour spin, there is no law and no guarantees that builders or planners will incorporate bricks in England.)

First bird of my day: jackdaws in the tree roost, restlessly waiting for the right moment to erupt out into the day. #FirstBirdOfMyDay

Great album!

First bird of my day: three curlews in the field across the road. Every morning I open the curtains and hope to see them there. #FirstBirdOfMyDay

First bird of my day: a double delight of pink-footed geese overhead as the jackdaws erupted from their roost. The sky was full of honking and chacking and was a delight to see. #FirstBirdOfMyDay

University of Reading's climate stripes show third-hottest year The stripes were created in 2018 and show the change in average global temperatures since 1850.

🌡️🌊 2025 was the 3rd hottest year on record, and the last 11 years are the hottest ever measured.

This is what climate breakdown looks like. Yet the UK is STILL considering new oil and gas fields?! 1/2
