"little public pressure to act: “The leaking is invisible to the public eye … nobody cares [about the leaks], nobody knows, nobody can see. Those materials should not be in the soil … we need electricity but we also need the environment &c.” theguardian.com/environment/20…

I disagree! This is the BEST possible wildlife pond outcome and a testament to a healthy ecosystem/environment 👍❤️🐍 #WildlifePond

@WriterHannahBT Not heard any Swifts for a while now. We're well and truly into sad season, with Robins not singing and signs that one or two leaves are ready to turn.

Have they gone with you? Do you know who I’m talking about ?

"If the butterflies go down that means there's something majorly wrong in the habitats." The Big Butterfly Count 2025 is currently on until 10th August to track butterfly populations. Vice Chairman of the Thames Branch at @savebutterflies, Grahame Hawker spoke to That's TV.

Do you remember when you joined X? I do! #MyXAnniversary Missed the actual date because this is no longer the favourite social media platform, but still worth marking.

New rewilding facility created on the edge of Sheffield, we're excited for what this can bring to our countryside!

Another Raven found shot dead next to a grouse moor in notorious persecution hotspot in Peak District National Park. Just up the road from the #springwatch site. raptorpersecutionuk.org/2025/06/09/ano…

This 👇 from @WildJustice_org is very welcome I do not know how the Govt can continue to claim that the bill is a "win-win" for development and nature, when not a single nature policy geek I know, or @OfficeforEP agrees theguardian.com/politics/2025/…

Driest period in Yorkshire since 1852 and reservoirs very low. Hose pipe ban unless rain comes says @yorkshirewater This was Widdop Reservoir near Hebden Bridge today @BBCLookNorth

Whatever you do this May, DON’T DO NO MOW MAY! Save #wildlife by letting your grass/lawn grow for the summer and adopting a #NoMowSummer. My latest video below on 10 reasons why NOT mowing your lawn is beneficial for you & wildlife👇 youtu.be/uyY_sTV6AC0?si… #Mowsaic

Cormorants are being blamed for fish declines caused by pollution, habitat loss, and overfishing. Now, a draft EU plan proposes killing them en masse—ignoring science and targeting nature to protect profits. When will we stop scapegoating wildlife for our own failures?

This swift lost its nesting cavity due to construction work. It doesn’t understand and keeps coming back, still looking, brushing against the wall, trying to cling to it. This behavior usually lasts about ten days 1/2
