If you see this photo, please leave a comment! 😊 This is a Woodpigeon caught in the act of eating blossom! 😁 Woodpigeons are regular visitors to my garden, do they come to yours? 🐦

@StuartMaggs But the budget hasnt been cut by 20% this was inaccurate reporting in the guardian. The budget will be about 100 mill less by 2029

It’s almost impossible to find anyone with any expertise on farming, food and nature who agrees with the goverment’s approach of cutting budgets for nature friendly farming I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a stronger consensus about anything about rural Britain

@RogerMerry1 Well absolutely there is a massive issue given the lack of trust.

@AliceGroom2 Agree, but... think there's a real fear that any new LUF will be dictatorial by intent... what incentive is there to work with Defra when there is zero trust ??

7️⃣ Defra must rethink this approach. If we ignore the 81% of agricultural land + non-ag land, we risk missing critical opportunities to deliver a resilient, nature-positive future.

7/ If the govt is serious about nature & climate, it must commit at least £3B/year to credible, lasting farming schemes that deliver real results. Anything less is a failure. Farmers need answers. @DefraGovUK must act—now. 🌍🚜 #Farming #SFI #NatureRecovery

6/ The govt treats farming as just another business, but with 67% of land farmed, agriculture is central to nature & climate goals. Food prices & private markets don’t fund nature recovery—public investment must.

🚨 The Sudden Closure of SFI – What Needs to Happen Now? 🚨 The abrupt shutdown of the SFI has left farmers frustrated & uncertain. Just months ago, ministers promised not to “overturn the applecart”—yet here we are, with no scheme to support nature-friendly farming. 🧵👇
