Have you added your sightings of Common Frog and Common Toad spawn to the PondNet #SpawnSurvey? 🐸 If not, you have until May 31st to upload your records. We can't wait to share this year's results with you! Add your sightings: freshwaterhabitats.org.uk/advice-resou... Toad spawn photo: Kate Wright

Making sure I get out more and explore some of Cumbria’s finest spots. Barkbooth Lot NR earlier this month and Drumburgh Moss NR yesterday. Good to reconnect with natural spaces and hear the birds, mostly Willow Warblers yesterday. @cumbriawildlife.bsky.social @freshwaterhabitats.bsky.social

Our petition has passed 97,000 signatures and just gone up to 13th most-signed petition in the list. Thank you for all your support! We aren't there yet but we are very close to 100,000 signatures which will trigger a parliamentary debate. Plz keep sharing! petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

I'm really sorry, but we just need to stop doing this. Your wood-burning hygge leads directly to people's deaths - other people's and perhaps your own. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Despite being advised by the Climate Change Committee to reduce the production & consumption of meat/dairy, the UK government has funded, every year, campaigns to *increase* their consumption: shorturl.at/mWMkq So here's a petition to ask for the promotion of plant-based foods: shorturl.at/HS5Ig

Dear Volodymyr Zelenskyy, dear Ukrainian friends, you are not alone.

Sort of assumed Mr Zelensky was a person of integrity. Who knew. He is. History changed today. Lines drawn. 🇪🇺🇬🇧

Stop Musk! This petition to prevent overseas billionaires meddling in our politics is now at *94,000* signatures - having leapt up from just 30k a day ago. It’s *so close* now to triggering a parliamentary debate - let’s get it over the 100k mark by the end of today! bsky.app/profile/guys...

Plenty alternatives for “losers” too. 🤬

I don’t agree with all of this but it’s got some ok tips in it for purchases. I’d prefer some mention of the plight of our fellow creatures but it’s the graun. 🤔 www.theguardian.com/thefilter/20... #veganuary

i think they’re being overly optimistic regarding the canine literacy rate

Environmentalism is the most popular political philosophy in Britain Politicians may wish to remember this before they next attack bats / newts / net zero etc bsky.app/profile/youg...

"1% of the population own half the land in England...the media have portrayed a very distorted view of the countryside, how land is used & who owns it" Great to speak to @mrjamesob.bsky.social on @lbc.co.uk about the #ClarksonTax protests - watch the full interview: www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-kR...

Top tip for campaigners annoyed about their large protests on important issues never getting much coverage: Why not simply become a wealthy farmer owning >£3 million in land, with a weekly column in The Sun

Jeremy Clarkson, James Dyson, the Earl of Derby – they’re up in arms about paying tax on the vast areas of land they own. Small farmers are worried that changes to Agricultural Property Relief (APR) will affect them. But who are the big landowners complaining the loudest? Thread: 1/

🤯😕
