......and how can Heathrow justify a Third Runway?

Back to Lea Valley, Hertfordshire at @Rye MeadsRSPB. Sunny with around 200 Lapwings + good selection of wildfowl. Casual visit without camera, only the trusty Swarovski binoculars.

I wonder what my grandmother would have thought eastangliabylines.co.uk/politics/i-w...

Lots of posts about Lyme Disease - a serious hazard for field workers. #LymeDiseaseAwareness

Just registered for @btobirds.bsky.social Heathland Bird Survey. #birds

I've just registered with @btobirds.bsky.social to contribute to their #HeathlandBirdSurvey. Check out the Survey if you're a UK birder.

Chalk streams are globally rare habitats. Some of the most precious ones are in the Chilterns, Norfolk & the south of England. Government must protect them. @colnevalley.bsky.social

Ferry Boat Inn, Forest Road, Walthamstow opposite the Wetlands. Welcome warmth after a chilly walk. It must be 30 years since I last set foot inside!

@ldnwildlifetrust.bsky.social - Walthamstow Wetlands heronry island with just one nest.

Visited@ldnwildlifetrust Walthamstow Wetlands today. No DSLR but highlight was great views of Kingfisher. Heard elusive Cetti's Warbler, close & loud - but invisible as usual!

The only electric plane built to date is very, very small & has a range of about 60 miles on full charge.

Heathrow plans - privately funded - CEO says it will only happen if it can meet noise, environmental & climate promises... despite no prospect of electric or "green" fuelled planes. It's NOT POSSIBLE.

Breaking news - Heathrow Airport reveals plans - Third runway & 2 new terminals. Not possible to meet environmental & climate requirements!

I visited the Farm yesterday afternoon and saw a fair amount of careless littering along the footpath from Long Lane, Mill End.

Has Andrew Gwynne MP resigned or does he think the allegations will go away? He's suspended from the Labour Party. Why doesn't he do the honourable thing?

A gloomy afternoon at @woodoaksfarm.bsky.social

I'm also horrified, & bitterly disappointed as a @uklabourparty.bsky.social member. This has the notorious dead hand of HM Treasury stamped all over it. @dannybealesmp.bsky.social

I should have said "hatched"!

Newly fledged - 8 Egyptian Goose goslings being led by a parent at Brunel University, Uxbridge today.

Roll-out of energy infrastructure in UK - we're told by industry experts that pylons are more cost-effective than burying cables. Is that always true? @energyuk.bsky.social

I had the same problem with Vulpes vulpes (Red Fox) and I hadn't even seen in West London. Now, they're everywhere...

@maplelodgersrve.bsky.social Can you ID this fungus found yesterday on new path to the Rotunda Hide?

@dannybeales.bsky.social - @opportunitygreen.org gives the Third Runway facts.

As a @uklabourparty.bsky.social member I'm disappointed/shocked at the Chancellor's cutting & pasting Heathrow's case for 3rd Runway. Appalling deception...

@colnevalley.bsky.social - Third Runway comprehensively debunked. See @opportunitygreen.org for the facts.

opportunitygreen.org destroys Rachel Reeves' case for Heathrow Third Runway. She lazily used Heathrow's own commissioned report! Go to @opportunitygreen.org for reality check!

Doubt Rachel Reeves assertions about Heathrow 3rd Runway - you should see @opportunitygreen.org

The UK Government has launched a Land Use consultation. This appears to be a move that should be welcomed.

How can Donald Trump seriously allege diversity & inclusion possibly contribute to the plane crash in Washington DC?

Heathrow Expansion - all local MP's OPPOSE it, Labour, Conservative, Lib Dem all UNITED. I hope they will hold their nerve.

This Sunday, 2 February is World Wetlands Day. We should celebrate & conserve these vital places for their climate & biodiversity benefits.

I’m honoured to have been invited to join the official event in Poland to mark the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz-Birkenau camp. British Holocaust survivor Mala Tribich has done so much to educate people and ensure the Holocaust is never forgotten.

Further #Heathrow Expansion must be strongly opposed on ecological, climate change & air and noise pollution grounds. It's alleged contribution to economic growth is an illusion.
