A real sign of global warming this exceptionally hot spring is that Ling, Calluna vulgaris, is already in flower and being used by Silver-studded Blues in Dorset. Normally it flowers in August!! @dorsetbutterflies.bsky.social

Captive breeding - apparently undertaken without fully understanding or remedying problems in the wild. Genetic drift (though captivity removes strong natural selection filtering less fit traits that affect migration survival). #Ornithology

The Earl of Caithness quoting tropical peat swamp evergreen forest study, to argue rewetting of moorland doesn’t reduce fire risk 🙄. Embarrassing attempt to cherry pick evidence.

Natural England didn’t consider a Tropical Peat Swamp Forests study, when examining whether rewetting temperate / boreal blanket bog / moorland reduced fire risk. I wonder why!? Andrew Gilruth convinced it’s a deliberate conspiracy to ignore inconvenient science.

This BNG bullshit is where the Planning & Infrastructure Bill pt3 will take us. Irreplaceable habitats lost, access to green spaces lost, while corners of faraway fields get rammed with plastic-wrapped money trees of which 1% survive, while developers & offset schemes cash in. Sickening.

Our latest research shows spot-on flea treatments on dogs are released into water when dogs swim even 28 days after treatment - in contrast to the label which suggests dogs can safely swim 48 h after treatment. www.newscientist.com/article/2482...

Conservationists call for Lake District to lose Unesco world heritage status www.theguardian.com/environment/... interesting that there's no comment from James Rebanks. FWIW I wrote this back in 2017 anewnatureblog.com/2017/05/22/s... What's changed since then is that CAP subsidies have gone.
