Definitely an increasingly common bird in the Newlands Corner area of Surrey. Saw 2 flying Ravens then this one perched close to St Martha’s Church this morning. 10s of House Martins darting about above it. Lovely to see. #surreybirds #surreyhills #ravens

There. Is. No. Such. Thing.
Cattle ranching is among the most destructive of all the world's industries.
"Regenerative" cattle ranching is simply greenwash.

“They’re perfectly capable of breeding & recolonising their former range, over a relatively short space of time, IF, and only IF, their survival isn’t curtailed by grouse moor gamekeepers shooting, trapping and poisoning them, pulling off their heads and legs, or stamping on their eggs and chicks.”

I've posted this before, but I own all 4 of these, on proud display on a shelf in my spare bedroom. Absolutely LOVE them! Didn't know they even existed until I visited your Ladybird Book exhibition a few years ago.

It is so so SO refreshing to hear a UK farmer say simply we need to eat less meat.

This whole interview with Guy Watson-Singh is excellent.
I also completely agree we need to spend more on food and much much less on rent.

Just eat less meat’
Singh-Watson may believe he has softened. But for many years he has been an iconoclastic voice among farmers. Take meat: most British farmers reject calls to eat less red meat to reduce damage to the environment and people’s health. Singh-Watson says eat good meat but less often: just 5% of what Riverford sells is meat. He had shared an organic chicken with eight people the previous evening: “I probably won’t buy another one for a month.”
“I spent a lot of time looking at the evidence on [the impact of meat] and it was overwhelming,” he says. “Ten billion people can’t live sustainably on this planet if we are eating anything like the level of meat consumed in a western diet. The only answer is we just eat less meat, dairy and eggs.”

Did you know #badgers LOVE water? One of our cubs decided to cool off in the pool. The message from our cubs is Stay Cool! 😎

Please ensure wildlife has constant access to water in hot weather

Test them out on the Firecrests of Merrow Downs woods!
thisisladybirder.bsky.social
Not sure on that either! It definitely looks finchy but images of young Greenfinch still not a great match. Tricky one! Thanks for replying tho.
thisisladybirder.bsky.social
Not sure what this young bird is. Thought possibly Bullfinch but not quite right. Any help appreciated.

If you shop at the Co-op supermarket and believe it to be an ethical retailer, have another think. They are still refusing to stop selling "Frankenchickens" despite their members overwhelmingly voting to do so, 2 years ago! Have a watch ...
Can Chris Packham get the Co-op board to listen?

Genuinely upset to hear this. Lucky enough to be at the Royal Festival Hall performance of Smile in 2004 which was absolutely off the scale, one of the most outstanding live concerts I've ever seen (and I was at Live Aid!). RIP Brian Wilson. #brianwilson

Late @btobirds.bsky.social BBS completed this morning at Albury Downs. Another bumper crop of birds - all heard & seen by me as well as Merlin! Who on Earth would want to ruin this wonderful habitat? #surreybirds

"Natural England has failed to safeguard badgers & is perpetuating a Badger Blame Game. For too long, successive governments have used badgers as scapegoats, ignoring the fact that an overwhelming 94% of bTB transmission occurs from cattle to cattle." 😡 Write to your MP, urge them to end the cull!

Dear Women’s Weekly we have a cost of living crisis & shelters full of unwanted dogs that people can no longer after to keep & your advocating breeding puppies as nice little earner on the side. This is shameful
