@AdeyA56764579 If only that tree could write an auto-biography!

Fascinated & very happy today but not surprised when the final assessment was made on my favourite oak tree in Althorp park. Experts in ancient & veteran tree studies placed the 'matriarchal' oak at c750 years of age and classed her ancient. Conservation@althorp.com #ancientoak

@curlewcalls I think it’s a trap many of us who write about pest control fall into, Mary. I certainly have. Don’t agree it’s necessarily derogatory though. Like ‘pest’, it’s just a convenient generic term for species in need of control under certain circumstances.

#crufts2023 PLEASE stop using the term “vermin” when talking about native wildlife like foxes, rats and badgers. It is a horrible, derogatory word.

Lineker, Shearer and Wright…a nightmare for goalkeepers in the 1990s, a nightmare for #ToryFascists in the 2020s! 👏👌 #IStandWithGary

@simonmayo Sporty Spice got his kick off times wrong just now, Simon. Arsenal ko is 5.45, Man Utd 8.00 ⚽️

@NotoriousKRM I do - I just aged a bit.

@georgiewildbray @JonathanSlayton I feel your pain. F*cking morons.

Applying for countryside stewardship and wanting to put a barn owl box on a field boundary between two grass margins this has been declined as I have to put it on a barn!? I know it's a BARN owl, but they did actually originally evolve to live in tree holes, not barns...

@amy_may If you still have one, I'd stick it in the DVD player.

If you're looking for a shooting read, I have a suite of my books available on Amazon. You can find the links here: woodscorcher.com/wildscribbler-…

Feel sorry for him. Couldn't have been sleeping well. £7M stuffed under the mattress must feel a bit lumpy.

Love not working Wednesday now. Tonight feels like Friday night. It's gonna be a cold, crisp day out with the gun tomorrow. But which one? #shooting #hunting Shooting Times Magazine The Countrymans Weekly woodscorcher.com/wildscribbler-…
