Even though unpopular, I'm sticking with the gulls, a glaucous gull at Longyearbeyn #Svalbard taken on 21st July 2022, submitted here for #SuperSeabirdSunday #Wildlfe #Photography Please check out all submissions at #SuperSeabirdSunday and give this a repost. Thank you. @steelyseabirder.bsky.social

Apparently it’s world swift day. Email [email protected] saying PLEASE MANDATE SWIFT BRICKS and add that to the subject line too. You’ll get an automated response but if we all email it will have a trickle up effect that’s better than a petition. So ask at least one person to do it too

Thank you for the swift action! WE can save swifts but we need to do it as a team. Email [email protected] simply saying MANDATE SWIFT BRICKS PLEASE & put that in the subject line too. Pass it on! As your MP to sign edm.parliament.uk/early-day-mo...

A portrait of ecocide, Irish style. Priest's Leap Valley, West Cork, still has a smattering of old scots pine and a dozen or so other native tree species, but they're dying on their feet due to sheep grazing, maintained by YOUR taxes. Rewilding places like this is just such. A total. No-brainer. 🌏

Several of yesterday’s birds remained today, and an influx of Crossbill produced the highest count since 2009. The first Reed Warblers of the year were recorded and a stunning male Bluethroat was trapped and ringed. Read more at www.fairislebirdobs.co.uk/latest_sight... 📸 T Wright

Wheldrake Ings this morning. It was good to get some good views, for a change, of 1 of the 2 Lesser Whitethroats. Curlews very vocal and seeing off everything that flew over. @ldvnnr.bsky.social @yorkbirding.bsky.social

Amazing prolonged views of a white-tailed eagle this afternoon. Superb to watch - effortless in flight. Size astonishing. Constantly mobbed by buzzard, sparrowhawk, rook, oystercatcher & lapwing. @teesbirds.bsky.social @nybirdnews.bsky.social

The death of yet another breeding white-tailed eagle from suspected poisoning is just heart rending. But despite continued losses, this remains the most successful reintroduction project ever undertaken so far, and one of the best things ever done for nature, in Ireland. www.rte.ie/news/munster...

Some gorgeous weather yesterday came hand in hand with some very birdy conditions, with an array of scarcities scattered across the isle. Thursday’s elusive Subalpine Warbler was also trapped and ringed, and deemed to be a Western. Read more at www.fairislebirdobs.co.uk/latest_sight... 📸 C Hill

‪The English burnt Joan of Arc today in 1431. After a rigged trial she was found guilty of heresy & dressing as a man. They burnt her corpse twice more to prevent collection of relics, then dumped the ash in the Seine.‬ ‪Today this church stands on the site.‬

I’ve been saying it for years… Rodenticide kills protected predators through secondary (and even tertiary) poisoning. If Ireland had a healthy population of predators there would be no need for poison in the first place! A frankly ridiculous situation 😤

Given that both Boris Johnson and Michael Gove confessed to cocaine use, the co-ordinated string of Tweets from Tory frontbenchers attacking Sadiq Khan's entirely sensible call for cannabis decriminalisation are the height of hypocrisy

Male Tree Pipit at Wykeham Raptor Viewpoint early yesterday morning. Giving brilliant views whilst singing and displaying @nybirdnews.bsky.social

Charlotte Church sang From the River to the Sea at a fundraising event for Palestinians and now all the usual people are screaming antisemitism and trying to cancel her. RT if you stand with Charlotte Church and Palestine.

Thank you for supporting Ukraine. Do it. It is time.

A natural bonsai birch growing in the recess of a blackthorn stem (left). So much lovelier than the artificial version. The bonsai oak on the right, for eg, has been forced into shape by steel wires running along its limbs. Why so often this human impulse to control? Let nature run wild!! 🌍

Excited to find tree lungwort growing on hazel today at Emsworthy Mire in Devon - the only time I’ve seen this now-rare lichen on hazel outside the west coast of Scotland (and possibly the Dizzard). A tiny patch of Atlantic hazelwood?

European farmers struggle through driest spring in a century: extreme weather costs the EU about €28.3bn per year. Farming is the human activity both most vulnerable to climate collapse, and (along with energy production) in need of deep reform to prevent it. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

"Win or lose in the Supreme Court, we now want the government to step up and pass a right to roam act, to protect and extend public rights of access to nature across England.” @lewis-winks.bsky.social ahead of this morning’s verdict on wild camping on Dartmoor: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Brilliant!!! Thanks all of you❤️❤️❤️

HASSAN: What is habeas corpus? NOEM: Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country HASSAN: That's incorrect

As the UK and EU carve up fishing rights, I don't give a damn which party gets to trash our marine ecosystems by overexploiting fish populations, ripping up the seafloor and killing vast numbers of "non-target" animals. I just want this orgy of destruction to stop.

Absolutely 💯
