Just watched the Birdsong documentary on BBC4. It follows an Irish ornithologist trying to record the songs of all 200 species in Ireland before some species vanish. Particular highlights are the Skellig Isles footage, the last pair of Ring Ouzel & the murmuration www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

The maximum potential sentence available for this crime is 12 mths custodial and/or £40K fine.

Dylan Boyle got a £400 fine because apparently he'd behaved himself for 6 mths since conviction.

That'll learn him.

Success – an important win for nature! 🐝

Today, the UK Government made the only sensible choice - listening to the science and upholding the ban on neonicotinoids.

This pesticide doesn’t belong in our countryside. Farmers now need support to adopt nature-friendly alternatives.

RSPB @rspb.bsky.social · Jan 9

Just 1 teaspoon of neonicotinoids can kill 1.25 BILLION bees.

Yesterday, over 1 million voices told the UK Government: stop allowing banned pesticides in our countryside.

DEFRA, it’s time to end ‘emergency’ use.

Protect pollinators vital to nature's recovery & our food security.

A vibrant close-up of a bumblebee feeding on a bright purple thistle flower. The bee's fuzzy black body is adorned with distinctive yellow-orange bands, and its delicate wings glisten in the light. The thistle's spiky green base contrasts sharply with its soft, spindly petals, which are dusted with pollen. It highlights the vital role of pollinators like bumblebees and butterflies.

Lead has been poisoning our wildlife and communities for decades – but now we have a chance to turn things around.

With a crucial review into lead ammunition finally at an end, will you join me in calling on @SteveReedMP to help make lead history?
