@mugfullofbooks @jk_rowling Thank you! You worded my "argument" so much better than I could.

@GolightlyMaria @jk_rowling I always consider it reading! You are still experiencing the story as it was written and reading is the word we usually use for that 🤷‍♀️

Yes, there'll definitely be an audiobook!

There be dragons over #Southerndown #WalesCoastPath

Did you spot us on the @ITVWales news at 6? Maria from our @BBNatureRecover team was chatting to @hannahthomasitv about our Bee Friendly status. 🐝🌼

If you want to take positive action to help #NatureRecovery in the @BreconBeaconsNP why not come along to @PLANBrecon 's Balsam Bash Events. No experience needed - just enthusiasm to be part of a team working for our native wildlife. Full details in flyer

Bit of a busman's holiday today enjoying nature in @SwanseaNature 's patch at Crymlyn Burrows. @LNPCymru

Want to find out what animals visit the urban areas of the #BreconBeacons National Park? If so, why not join our wildlife project where we provide equipment and training (all free). For more details contact Maria on NatureRecovery@beacons-npa.gov.uk or DM us.

Badgers They live across the uplands and lowlands of @BreconBeaconsNP in large social networks of underground tunnels. They are nocturnal and quite elusive, so this footage provides a great glimpse of what they get up to when most of us are sleeping……

#Walking on #Sugarloaf ? Notice the bracken has been cut and baled? Bracken: native British fern - one of the world’s oldest & most successful plants. In soil it loves, it can become invasive. To stop it thriving at the expense of other plants, it can be cut and removed.

Roe deer captured on Trailcam. They are shy creatures who like sheltered woodland/grassland and recently seen more frequently in @BreconBeaconsNP They can negatively impact trees by grazing on bark but its great to see them here.

@welshielondon My heart is melting 😍

@DrJonesWales Looks great. I'm doing something similar there myself soon so I've DM'd you.

Our trip to Uganda involves helping local communities generate a sustainable income from harvesting indigenous crops. One of our projects involves the production of mint oil for use in tea, foods and cosmetics. Here we are viewing the pilot distillery & field trial site at Kyoga

Amazing #orchids on the roadside ...good reason to let verges grow a little wild for nature

Thoroughly enjoyed my Introduction to Rewilding course at @centre_alt_tech I am a complete convert. Bring on the Rewilding! Thank you @Kara_L_Moses @LandEthics @TheVelvetClaw @RareBreedChris

My @GrowWildUK #wildflower seeds have done me proud again this year. The #bees absolutely love them.

Great weekend away with @tigerbayrambler. Lots of fun, good weather and lots of wildlife = perfect weekend.

@GrowWildNI He probably is.... he's rather fond of snacking.

The #wildflower inspector is on site. He's surveyed the @GrowWildWales seedlings and said they are doing brilliantly and submitted his invoice for scoobysnacks. #HappyFriday
