It’s also important to think carefully before sharing sightings of rare breeding birds in the spring & summer - could this lead to disturbance, or worse? Read the RBBP guidance here tinyurl.com/RBBPsound and if in doubt, don’t! [2/2]

It’s the time of year to be out finding, recording and enjoying rare breeding birds, but it’s vital to put their welfare first. Here’s some advice from RBBP Secretary Mark Eaton, and there’s a blog here tinyurl.com/RBBPsafe [1/2]

I’ve picked apart the mess of subsidies for species rich grasslands in England… It’s not a feel good story… In fact it’s a betrayal of careful old fashioned farming and biodiversity by the uk government. Makes me very sad tbh. scribehound.com/countryside/sh…

We stand with the people of Iceland to end open net salmon farming and protect Iceland’s biodiversity and coastal ecosystems for future generations. Iceland’s aquaculture draft bill still allows the expansion of sea‑cage salmon farming. Sign the petition at LetsUndoThis.com to stand with the 63% of Icelanders who oppose sea cages and urge Parliament to strengthen the bill by: ✔️ Phasing out sea cages ✔️ Stopping new sea‑cage licenses ✔️ Transitioning to closed or land‑based systems Every signature and share helps secure a stronger future for Iceland and wild Atlantic salmon. #SignThePetition #KeepIcelandWild #StayCoolIceland #ProtectWildSalmon

Sewage has been pouring into the Potomac River for over a month now due to a broken pipe. Donald Trump has just declared a federal emergency allowing govt to take control do whatever it takes to "alleviate the hardship and suffering caused by the emergency on the local population and to provide appropriate assistance to save lives, to protect property, public health and safety, and to lessen the threat of catastrophe". Meanwhile in England WCs have dumped 14,744,121 hours worth of sewage into the environment over the last 5 years on 1,991,249 separate occasions and govt has done what exactly? Promises made, promises flushed down a sewage pipe. theguardian.com/us-news/2026/f…

Been out on a litter pick this afternoon. If you throw litter out of your car window, you are a prick. Simple as. Rich or poor, left or right. There’s nothing political about it. No defence for it. No “misunderstanding”. Just deliberately shitting on the country we all live in.

Friends of Carrington Moss 💚🌳🐾🚴‍♀️🐴🚶‍♂️💚
NIMBY is a pejorative term created by developers to minimise opposition to extremely harmful schemes, I am not racist, I have never harassed anyone, but YOUR behaviour towards CPA and its volunteers is abusive, bullying and offensive.
Paul Powlesland@paulpowlesland

@FriendsMoss @CommunityPlann1 Yes, I wonder why I’m hostile to the racist NIMBYs who have spent months harassing me online without having the courage to put their money where their mouth is and debate me in person.

Don’t forget to keep posting your Buckinghamshire Song Thrush and House Sparrow records on the sightings page - goingbirding.co.uk/bucks/birdnews… Unfortunately both species appear to be less numerous than they once were, so this year we would like to assess their current status.

Dr Elaine Cox 🍃 💚 🍃🌽🥬🐦‍⬛🐌🇬🇧
Research shows that artificial light at night disrupts circadian rhythms, impairs some species ability to find their way around, and is a cause of declining populations of insects, bats, and other nocturnal fauna. There is also evidence that outdoor lighting generates needless emissions and ecological harm that is intensifying at an alarming rate. theconversation.com/why-walking-in…
