FE need to get in the game - where's their commitment to the Nature Recovery Network. How does this qualify as 'sustainable forestry'??? @simonbarneswild @georgemonbiot

@hbriggs Good piece on the 10 Golden Rules of Reforestation. Inevitably there's an 11th: don't plant trees on existing valuable habitat. Lots of this in the UK, esp in the uplands, impacting waders like curlew, and lowland heaths. Forestry England lead on this.

Agree, and such small areas of FE’s estate in southern England. @RSPBEngland @DorsetHeaths @DorsetAONB @dorset_lnp

@DorsetBirdClub Doesn’t really matter what your ‘views’ are on climate change. It’s real and increasingly affects us all. Shouldn’t be any doubt about it.

An interesting web-site, no matter what your views on climate change(or not) are it's worth a look.

@BirdingBrett Hi Brett, know the feeling, listing sometimes isn’t that fulfilling. Always welcome to help warden at the Chesil little tern colony, conservation work can be more satisfying.

@BillOddie Still miss you on Springwatch Bill, you were always my favourite. Hope you get better soon.

Just so you know, I have been very ill most of this summer . Lithium toxicity. Almost fatal! I am still here but very confused about most things! But then aren't many of us. IT fuddles my brain.Confusion. Will I return ? I Really dunno. I do hope so. Please wish me luck. XX

Just brilliant.

@RobertJenrick @ChrisPincher ‘Planning for the future’ must prioritise nature. Please guarantee nature-rich towns and cities – it is the future we need. #NatureRecovery #NatureForAll

@ATChesil Hi A, certainly is.

We put the first colour rings on our Little Terns on the Chesil this morning. They are growing fast. Thanks to all those who gave us sight records earlier. Much appreciated. One 1999 bird has been sighted @Little_tern19 @ATChesil @CWPhoto11 @PortlandBirdObs

@ATChesil V nice Angela!

We're still attempting to save the nest site of a large colony who have been returning for over 60 years. Please support us by retweeting and liking ❤️We're hoping the developers will engage with us and we can have a "Good News Story" to tell #savethedorkingswifts @ChrisGPackham

Couldn’t agree more. We need fewer Corsican pines in Wareham Forest and much more heathland.

@RHarrabin Yet the linked BBC news story about newt mapping in Gloucs says GCNs can cause costly delays! More consistency please BBC.

I’m Updating this story soon. Number 10 has now supplied evidence. But it could be old newts.

Many new nests established following on from the storm, the birds are bouncing back! There are now plenty of chicks exploring too. They are growing astronomically fast, thanks to their parents' fishing talents and abundant sand eel populations! facebook.com/DenbighshireCo… #littletern

@StevenFalk1 @Nadinemi13 @ChrisGPackham @SteveTrotter1 Great stuff Steve. Almost certainly a future SSSI.

My dreamed-for garden wildlife pond is finally becoming a reality 😊 Thanks for all the advice @Nadinemi13

Absolutely James. If you’re going to tell a porky pie, tell a whopper.

Lovely EDF commercial on TV last night but funnily enough no mention of current Sizewell proposals and the threat to one of the RSPB’s most iconic reserves.
