@nationalgriduk @RosieP4 The please provide your proof that there was no other option but for this to take place during nesting season - it's barbaric!

Hi @RosieP4 before any works begin, all permissions and licences are secured and the area is assessed and checked by a suitably qualified ecologist, who remains onsite during vegetation removal. No work will be carried out within an agreed distance if active nests are identified. Any planting removed will also be reinstated in line with plans agreed by local authorities.

Watch as @nationalgriduk chomps through a hedge. In nesting season. Despite its DCO stating “”In accordance with good practice measure B02, vegetation with the potential to support breeding birds will be programmed to be removed outside of breeding bird season (March to August inclusive) where practicable”. So why was it not practicable not to do it in this instance?The ecologist found nothing (what a surprise) but there is no way a hedge like this does not have nesting birds. (This is Bramford to Twinstead, not Norwich to Tilbury) @PylonsEAnglia

Today contractors from National Grid turned up at this farm ready to clear all of this vegetation, including the four oaks, without the required dawn bird survey. It is only because the land owner was on his toes and challenged them that they left. Plus National Grid has not explained why it is ‘not practicable’ to uphold their DCO obligation to avoid nesting season. They were not even able to explain why the oaks need to be felled for a bell mouth when they do not cause visibility issues. This is a horrific disregard for nature. (This is Bramford to Twinstead, ‘only’ 30km long. Imagine the destruction if Norwich to Tilbury at 180km goes ahead as proposed. We seek underground HVDC laid by cable ploughs for N2T)

@markgoldbridge If Casemiro did this he gets a 10 game ban minimum! That's a red card any day of the week. Same as Gabriel should have been sent off numerous times! PGMOL obviously put Arsenal's name on the trophy at Christmas.

Just seen the Havertz "Red". Not for me. They don't consistently get given anymore. Two years ago yes. But this season the PGMOL have been very consistent on not giving reds for that so not a red for me. Bruno on Szobozlai two weeks ago for example

This goal was scored earlier this season - identical situation to the Mbeumo handball shout on Sunday. Howard Webb said the Mbeumo decision was wrong. Guess what he said about this one?

But we were told it was for absolute howlers ONLY and they WONT re referee and maximum benefit and minimum interference!!! 🤷🏼‍♂️ #GETRIDOFIT

🚨BREAKING: As we reported on our show yesterday, approximately 1 Hour following the WHCD shooting, the White House Military Office sent an e-mail directing the amplification of Erika Kirk’s “I want to go home” video clip. Unfortunately, the e-mail was sent to the wrong internal groups. They then attempted to have I.T revoke the e-mail. When that failed they ordered every person to destroy the e-mail. I have manually retyped the relevant portion of the e-mail that they wanted destroyed. (As explained on my show yesterday, this is because the DOD’s IT department has imprinted the e-mail with canary tactics to identify individual leaks) So the question now is— why did the military so quickly prioritize making Erika Kirk the face of WHCD shooting? Is that normal emergency protocol or was this unnaturally preplanned?

@juliet_turner6 Happy Birthday Juliet 🎉. Another year looking after the world's smallest inhabitants 😁

Today, I am a year older than I was yesterday

Dear @RapidResponse47: That is a verrrrrrrrryyyyy long blink.

swifts need our help again. Please send a quick email to Justin Chamberlin: justin.chamberlin@ravenht.org.uk asking him to liaise with Banstead Swift Group and help a pair of swifts who are trying and failing to get into their home due to a new flue pipe blocking it.

🚨 OFFICIAL: Fede Valverde statement. “Yesterday I had an incident with a teammate during a training session. The fatigue from competition and the frustration made everything seem blown out of proportion”. “In a normal locker room, these things can happen and are usually resolved internally without it becoming all public”. “Clearly, someone here is spreading rumors, and with a season without titles, where Real Madrid is always under scrutiny, everything gets blown out of proportion”. “Today we had another disagreement. During the argument, I accidentally hit a table, causing a small cut on my forehead that required a routine visit to the hospital”. “At no point did my teammate hit me, I didn’t hit him either”. “I feel that my anger about the situation, frustration at seeing some of us struggling to get through end of season, giving it our all, pushed me to the point of arguing with a teammate”. “I’m sorry. I’m truly sorry because this situation hurts me, this moment we’re going through is painful”. “Real Madrid is one of the most important things in my life and I can’t be indifferent to it. The result is accumulation of things that culminate in a senseless fight, damaging my image and leaving room for doubt that they will add fuel to the fire of an accident”. “I wasn’t going to speak out until the end of the season. We were eliminated from the Champions League, and I kept my anger and resentment to myself”. “We’ve wasted another year, and I wasn’t in a position to be posting on social media when the only face I had to show was on the field, and I feel that’s what I did. That’s why I’m the one who’s most saddened and pained to be going through this situation that prevents me from playing the next match due to medical decisions”. “I always gave it my all, to the very end, and it hurts me more than anyone not to be able to do so. I am available to the club and my teammates to collaborate on any decision they deem necessary. Thank you”.

So @Plaid_Cymru @reformparty_uk want to blame badgers for Btb and start the slaughter again. Farming images from the Dee valley, cows feeding knee deep in shit, piss and mud. Shit sprayed on frozen fields, carcasses left to rot where they fall. 94% transmission cattle, to cattle.

Hi @wessexwater have you seen these photos and issue regarding swallows being blocked from their nesting site? @Stephen47629998 can you tell @wessexwater the address so there is no doubt. And @wessexwater could you remove the mesh so the swallows can get back home?

Did you know after the Welsh elections Plaid and Reform could start culling badgers. That means night shooting, lamping, protests, millions in policing costs and ancient setts falling silent of badgers. 94% of Btb transmissions are cattle to cattle.

Looking like it's a fair chance the Badger slaughter will end in England only to start in Wales. We can expect night shooting, lamping, protests, millions of £ in policing costs and ancient badger setts to fall silent. Please share. @BadgerTrust @domdyer70 @ChrisGPackham

Just been sent this leaflet from @Plaid_Cymru looks like badgers are in real danger in Wales. Hearing this leaflet is only going out to farms and the like, very sneaky. @BadgerTrust @ChrisGPackham @IoloWilliams2 @domdyer70 @DrBrianMay

RETWEET. 🇺🇸

@youngy18 You've had an epic career Ashley. Thanks for so many incredible moments. Will never forget the goals vs Arsenal in 2011 🙏♥️. Happy retirement!

From Sefton Road to Vicarage Road to Villa Park to Wembley to Old Trafford to San Siro back to Villa Park to Goodison Park and finally to Portman Road. It’s been some journey that I only dreamt of as a boy! But with this dream there has to be an ending and Saturday might be the Last Game Of My Professional Career🤘🏾💛💜🤍❤️💙 23 years and OUT! To be continued….

Holes drilled ✅ Checked with endoscopes ✅ In the right places ✅ Boxes installed (correct height + orientation) ✅ Thank you @networkrail @AmcoGiffen_ & @HighPeakBC for being on site all day, proper top job. Photo credit: Emma B & Kathryn B Chapel Biodiversity Group

An annual reminder: don’t spray spring dandelions with Roundup. One flower can be visited by 100+ bees in a day, and those chemicals can kill them all. 🌻
