Is it even a country lane if it doesn't have grass growing in the middle, a barn halfway along and hedges full of blackbirds? I could walk for miles on the lanes at this time of year (and frequently do), just ambling and listening and breathing in the calm, still evening air as the sun sets. Please, May, take your sweet time, don't rush by. 📍 Peak District, England

@UoLWSS Well done, that is good news

WE DID IT!! Thank you everyone for your support 💚🤍💜🏃‍♀️

A green thought in a green shade

@MarburyBirds It's all that excellent food they've been having 😁

Some very exciting news!!! Chips and Gravy have 5, yes 5 fledglings 😁. The last 2 years they have only had 3 so this is a bit of a shock!! I haven’t met them properly yet but hopefully like the last 2 years they will come down to meet me later this month 🥰

@nature_michelle @TempleBalsall They are beggars to photograph

Happy Friday! I’d seen this small and vibrant Speckled Yellow moth flying around non-stop for days, so I was thrilled when it finally paused on the Forget-me-nots long enough for me to get a photo 💜💛

Imagine the universal outrage if Donald Trump had passed a law saying women weren't allowed to assemble without a man present. But the Australian government have done just this. No women's groups allowed, nothing for women of their own. Shameful. Absolutely shameful

@salltweets I am so sorry that you have been treated this way. It is utterly shameful

I am absolutely devastated Men who claim to be women have more rights than actual women in Australia. It is women who are being discriminated against, not the men who claim to be us. But in a sense, nothing has changed: we will all wake up tomorrow & men will still not be women.

@JulieMurph14125 *tips hat*

@CornerForNature Aah I get it, thanks for pointing out.

Sadly Wetherspoons also ban dogs inside & outside.

@JulieMurph14125 That wasn't my point - although many Starbucks do allow dogs. It's that AI-generated notice about being "halal compliant" that's fake, and designed to stir up resentment.

@CornerForNature Neither Starbucks or Wetherspoons allow dogs

@MarburyBirds There's a lot of them!

Think this Blackcap might be feeding young. Not sure what species of caterpillar!

Retweet ❗️ This is a Swift. sometimes they can end up on the ground. This is where they need YOUR help! Swifts arrive back to the UK from April/May to nest. 🪺 (A THREAD)

@MarburyBirds Aw!

Good morning from Gravy! I have some exciting news. Yesterday at least 2 fledglings soaring in the sky with the adults 🥰 Hopefully I will get to meet them soon!

V short, good thread about how men can help women. It's all about listening and not trying to 'solve'. Worse are those who play devil's advocate, have you thought about it from his point of view, love etc

Just four cubs having a foxy pillow fight! 🦊😂 Have you ever wondered why pillows, laundry items, shoes and toys just disappear from your garden?! The answer is that eager fox parents may take these items to their fox cubs to play with. Fox mum Spring dragged a large cushion into the re-wilded cemetery for her youngsters to demolish and have endless fun with. 🐾 The cubs shake, rip and drag the cushion and pounce, push and roll over again and again during play. This teaches them agility and strength and how to hunt as well as how to quarrel with an opponent. It only took them a couple of days to totally demolish the big cushion and you can see in mum’s face that she must be thinking: “I better find some new toys for my babies to keep them entertained” before she enjoys a much-needed slumber on the pile of pillow stuffing. 🧡 My fave bit is when one cub tumbles over and is laying on they back, little flailing legs in the air, looking all puzzled. What is yours? #fox #foxes #cubs #cemeteryfoxes #wildlife

Ok, so @xx_xyathletics just did it again!!! How do they keep making videos that make me cry? I had goosebumps at the end. That last line just gut punched me. I’m not giving it away. You have to watch it to see it. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

This only takes a minute to sign.

I am sick and tired of people mocking those who care about the planet. Clean air matters. Living forests matter. Healthy oceans matter. Animals matter. Biodiversity matters. Wanting a livable world for future generations should not be controversial.
