@StagecoachYrks no 1 7:04 bus doesn't even turn up and 7:10 bus just pootles past out of service. The next bus is running at least 15 mins late. Please dont bother apologising for inconvenience. Just stop being incompetent.

@CarlBovisNature Oh unsurprisingly I've already got them blocked. Was not drama or grief I needed.

I'm currently the subject of what's known on social media as a 'pile-on' (Others may refer to it as bullying.) My crime? I posted photos & videos of Hedgehogs visiting my garden! 😱 As a result, I'm being accused of all sorts, from using my Hedgehogs for monetization, to not caring about wild animals. 🙄 I don't need to explain myself to my loyal followers who know the truth and understand totally my character and motivations. Thank you to those defending me, it's greatly appreciated. 🙏🤗 To everyone else (mainly the followers of @HedgehogCabin) you really don't need to be so nasty. You don't need to tell me how disappointed you are in me or advertise that you're unfollowing. I will keep my eyes on the visiting Hedgehogs. If they show other signs of illness, if they come out during the day, if they stop eating.. anything, I will get them to our vets (our local wildlife rescue will not take Hedgehogs that haven't been looked over by a vet first... I know this as I've taken Hedgehogs to them in the past that I was concerned about, even though I don't care about animals apparently...) In the meantime, I'll keep feeding them, keep putting water out for them and won't unnecessarily stress them out by catching, handling and taking them to an alien environment. By the way, this particular Hedgehog broke out from its biscuit meal to very nimbly and efficiently catch and eat a passing moth! Something I'd never seen before... but a pretty good indicator that its not actually, in fact, close to death. As for monetization, I make very small amounts, and it's all declared and added to my income as part of my little business. I do it for the love... I've been sharing my wildlife photography and experiences here for 11 years, in exactly the same way as I do now. I don't need or want to do or say anything controversial at all, the one sure way of earning more here.... my account is about the least offensive account you could possibly find on Twitter! 🐦🦔❤️

@StagecoachYrks number 1 going past not in service but carrying passengers again . Ridiculous

@Morrisons where can I find information about coeliacs safe options in your cafes?

@Morrisons Hi, I've received an offer for free Birthday cake in your cafe, but would there be ceoliac safe options? Thanks.

Down by the river. #TreeClub @WoodlandNomad

@PotteringPolly They do need watering most days, sometimes twice a day when really hot, like most hanging baskets, but it seems to work really well with little tomatoes. Its the only way I grow them now.

Trust me to buy my first hanging basket in donkeys years when it’s so hot! I’d already sown tomato ‘tumbling Tom’ 🍅 when I saw this basket in Aldi - you know that aisle that pulls you over to buy things you don’t need! 😂 Well constant watering has paid off! #tomatoes #homegrown

Happy Birthday Sweetie 🎉 19 today 🎊🥳

Pretty as a picture. #TreeClub @WoodlandNomad

This is Joseph Wood, of Milton Drive in Buckie. He spent five years sexually abusing a little girl, starting when she was seven. He was found guilty of multiple sexual assaults at Inverness Sheriff’s Court, and walked away with 200 hours of community service, three years’ supervised probation, and 3 years on the sex offender registry — two years less than he spent abusing his victim. I think Mr. Wood and his appallingly light sentence deserve to go viral, so I’m giving it a go. So does the judge who handed the sentence down, so if anyone knows that name please do drop it in the comments.

@CopMoustache You know what? Don't ever change.

Treated the team today and went and got some ice lollies, the little smiles on their faces when I walked back into the office with them 😊😊

@biltontowers Standing was your choice. There's at least one other empty seat.

I’m 64 and standing. Manners?

@OurCowMolly I've just seen the clear allergen labels online. So happy its clear with no ambiguity. Makes a nice change 👌

@StagecoachYrks why are the buses diverting im High Green? How long us it likely to last?

@dontforgetchaos The more I see, the less I have to say on here. Im not here much anymore.

Gone protected for a while. My replies are a bombsite in a hellscape. Need them to calm down as I actually can’t see any actual mates replying.

@dontforgetchaos I have windows I haven't shut for about 2 years now.

If anyone is interested, I just opened a window. My arrest by the British window police is imminent.

A bricklayer in East Yorkshire has spent 35 years putting up barn owl nest boxes on weekends. This year, the region saw 308 owlets hatch. His name is Robert Salter. He's 56 and does bricklaying full time. In 1990, he saw a piece on the news about a man in Lincolnshire installing barn owl boxes, and decided he'd do the same. He started with five. He now has more than 350 boxes scattered across fields, farms, outbuildings, and trees in East Yorkshire. Every June, he takes four weeks off from bricklaying and visits them with his wife Sue. Scrambling up ladders, ringing chicks, cleaning boxes, repairing the ones the weather got to. He's a licensed bird ringer for the British Trust for Ornithology. In 2024, the region ringed 95 owlets. In 2025, the count was 308. The Barn Owl Trust says that nationally, this year was "pretty poor" for barn owl breeding, but east Yorkshire is the exception, and it's the exception because of one man with a ladder. The barn owl population in the UK was estimated at 4,000 pairs in the mid-2000s and crashed to roughly 1,000 by the early 2010s. The species is still recovering. Most of conservation is one person who refuses to give up.

@dontforgetchaos Tbh its fast becoming one in mine now I have to go gluten free.

I’m going to respectfully argue that there is no way in hell Quinoa is an everyday essential. 🤣

@WoodlandNomad Looks like box tree moth caterpillar. Horribly invasive pest. The bane of gardeners.

I keep getting covered in these in part of the woods where I most often walk. Staking out their territory ☺️#TreeClub🌳

What a nice way to spend the day. #RiverWye #Bakewell
