- Ugly duckling news: Society has become so badly detached from the natural world that even @theguardian.com journalists writing environmental stories cannot spell the word ‘cygnet’ - spelling it ‘signet’ instead 😳 Or has this been written by a machine? www.theguardian.com/environment/...

It has moved 18km through the Snake Valley, the first confirmed record of an Eastern Moors juv moving in a westerly direction pre-migration - knowledge only possible through colour-ringing #ukbirding

- Reposted by Chris GreenwoodLabour promised to restore nature. ❌ Instead, their Planning Bill contains a licence to destroy it. We offered solutions. We’re done waiting. Part 3 of the Bill would gut the laws protecting our most precious habitats & species. Without significant change, it must be scrapped.

- If farmers block the roads and cause disruption, will they be vilified in the press, manhandled by police and sent to jail for 5 years like some other recent protestors have been? Or are some protests more equal than others? @chrisgpackham.bsky.social @herdyshepherd.bsky.social
