Stop scrolling the news, it's all so ghastly 😰 - instead, take a couple of mins to listen to this soothing folk song, you'll feel SO much better for it..🙂👌 sarahdeere-jones.bandcamp.com/album/the-th...

Importing poultry from Gulf states? Have we learned NOTHING about welfare or disease issues? Or about undermining our own higher standards? Jeez, I've heard it all now...😡

The EU imports 90 percent of the materials that go into tech products such as batteries and wind turbines. But a new law stipulates that 25 percent be derived from recycling in the next five years, up from just 1 percent today.

Please take a minute to sign this open letter to the 2nd United Nations Oceans Conference in Nice calling for *ecocide* to be added to the list of crimes adjudicated at the International Criminal Court. Thanks 🌊 www.stopecocide.earth/ocean-open-l...

The Labour government has decided to ignore the spiralling cost of building a nuclear power station & the absence of infrastructure or environmental impact assessment when it announced today it would invest £14.2 billion to fire up a new facility on the Suffolk coast. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Can't get over how well my hedge has come back after I laid it in February. It was over 20ft tall before laying. Now the bottom has bushed out so much I can barely see into most of it.🙂

Appalling quality photos, but what are these pale grey moths that flutter endlessly over the surface of my pond? They never seem to land or touch the water and there can be over 20 of them. Light was poor and they never stop still - should have picked a better day (and lens) for photos.

Another one of my oaks has fallen victim to Grey Squirrels.😢 Just about the whole trunk has been stripped clean.

I think this is probably Germander Speedwell, growing in the gloom below the canopy of my trees in my wildlife area. #photography #nature #wildflowers

Just a quick reminder of one of the many ways that "science" is not just some abstract thing, unrelated to daily life. Cut back on science and we know less about what's happening in the world we live in.

This is my "hide", situated by a pond in my wildlife area. I could hear a lot of alarms calls from various birds and thought there was a cat about, so was following the sounds. What I disturbed wasn't a cat but a Tawny Owl! Which 30 seconds before this photo was sitting on a branch over the door.
