Morning. 🌞 Here are a couple of shots from @naturetrek.bsky.social Autumn in the Cairngorms Vegan tour taken during a long and productive day yesterday. Red Grouse almost at touching distance and Pine Marten even closer! What a fabulous place to be at this time of year. 🍁

Any Little White Egrets or Cattle White Egrets?

It's just ridiculous. Are they going to ban coconut milk, peanut butter and egg plant? How about fish fingers and meatloaf, which isn't bread? 🤷‍♂️

We’ve had insane views of Western Swamphen on @naturetrek.bsky.social Go Slow in Mallorca tour. Caspian and Whiskered Terns plus a good number of migrant waders were great to see, and Little Bitterns have been ever popular.

#HabitatLoss 🚨

Reminder: #LIVESTOCK farming is the leading driver of deforestation & biodiversity loss. The most important action we can take for animals, other humans & the planet is to live vegan 💚⚖️

We’re having glorious weather on the @naturetrek.bsky.social Mallorca tour with many Two-tailed Pashas, Swallowtail, Violet Dropwing, and I’m over the moon with the vulture shot. 😉

Best yet. Great location, music, and of course, food. 😋

Lots of photos on my website If you’d like to take a look. 🌱

And here's Scarlet, her scar has healed and her tail is looking fine after the mange treatment. She's still very timid and only visits at night but she's getting fitter and her limp has almost gone.

Let's hope they're more effective than Steve Reed!

How many Defra ministers have bought a ticket? I'm guessing it's a round figure.

Weird. I’ve never seen fungi run, fly or jump, never heard one sing, bark or scream. I’ve never known an animal to grow to full size overnight either. 🤷‍♂️

It took me 9 months to get this - I mean, I got it straight away but it took this long to reach my timeline. Worth the wait. 😆

Fair Political Coverage - we want to hear from ALL our parties @fairpoliticsnow.bsky.social · Sep 2

So some good coverage about @zackpolanski.bsky.social winning the Green Party leadership. But we need sustained coverage of all our parties inc LibDems, Greens, SNP, Plaid & Tory/labour. We are a multi party system now. No over platforming of any party. Sign petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...

And we fund it.

Me! And I was looking forward to it until an email dropped into my inbox last night.

If the queue to the loos is as long as the new rules there's gonna be a bit of bother.
