A timely reminder folks if you can leave fresh water out for your #backyardwildlife they will be very grateful.
Our #hedgehog visitor was back last night and cleared his bowl again 🥰🦔💚
Outstanding photograph of #bats by Sitaram Raul, one of the entries in the Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2025 🦇
Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2025: one of the 15 winners.

In total darkness in an abandoned building, Sitaram Raul focused his lens at the distance where he expected the bats to appear, relying on his flash to illuminate the scene. Meanwhile, the bats “defecated randomly on me and the camera."
Absolutely gripped by the tv series #MixTape

Longer term, governments can support alternatives like precision fermentation & cultivated meat which allow the production of meat, palm oil & soya products with a tiny fraction of the environmental footprint of existing agriculture.

Here's @georgemonbiot.bsky.social to explain how it works.

🧀Precision fermentation has been used for decades to produce ingredients like low-cost rennet for cheesemaking, and is now being used to facilitate more stable, sustainable production of common ingredients like milk and egg white proteins, palm oil and coffee. But how does it work?
#PrecisionFermentation gotta be the way forward to replace #palmoil 💚🌱

It's disgusting. No one has the right to make you feel less important than you are. This so called Labour government is more blue than the last one.
Ps. I have a similar place.
Ditto that. You came over brilliantly.

To help make your garden accessible, provide clean water and a few cat biscuits (not bread, milk or mealworms) and ask neighbours to create highways (gaps in fence to increase hedgehogs' foraging area). Talk about them when you see them, and learn a bit about them. 🦔💚🐾🌱
Love this 🦔💚
First Class #hedgehog!!! How very appropriate ... if you would like to dig a little deeper into these gorgeous animals' lives, pop over to hughwarwick.substack.com
5 more miles walked today means I'm 44 miles into the #50MilesForGuideDogsUK challenge 😊🐕🧡
This is a shocking read, although in some respects hardly surprising that these toxic chemicals cause the body such adverse reactions. The sooner they ban these pesticides the better.

Labour to ban neonics - great news!

Craig Bennett of The Wildlife Trusts says there is "no place in British agriculture for toxic bee-killing pesticides"… the government's decision "must not be undermined by granting the emergency use of neonicotinoids next year" 🐝

Bee-harming pesticides' emergency approval will end, vows Defra
Planned legal changes will see three neonicotinoid pesticides completely banned from any future use.

It's great to hear the government is taking serious steps to permanently ban #neonics, but #BritishSugar has still put in a request for use in 2025. I've just signed this #petition to encourage British Sugar to invest in alternatives & back #NatureFriendlyFarming. (1/2)
Back Nature-Friendly Beet Farmers!
I believe #NatureFriendlyFarming is key to a #wilderfuture Sign the petition!

I'll believe it when I see it , but I bloody hope the government mean it this time - and not just capitulate to the NFU / British Sugar (again) 🐝💚
