Instinctively - yes. But where is the bigger question ? Where would the eagles have the best chance? The successes with ospreys show it can be done. 🤞🦅
📢 We need to hear YOUR thoughts!

The public consultation on reintroducing white-tailed eagles to #Cumbria is open. 🦅

Share your views by responding to our online questionnaire by October 31st HERE ⬇️

Must read on how deaths from extreme heat/climate crisis are being hidden from public view in the US. It’s killing you, but you’re not allowed to know about it. Excellent work by my colleague @ninalakhani.bsky.social
Read it here: www.theguardian.com/environment/...
Americans are dying from extreme heat. Autopsy reports don’t show the full story
Official reports are likely to overlook heat’s role in a death. As US temperatures rise, experts say the true toll needs to be counted

Thank you to everyone at @cumbriawildlife.bsky.social - our annual members day yesterday was packed full of news about the amazing work the trust does. Really enjoyed the performance from Cockermouth-based choir Wild Chorus too. 👏

I feel rejuvenated to get out and do more.

Bridehead Unvisited…

Today around a hundred of us trespassed in the Bridehead Estate, where access was recently closed to the public by the new corporate owners - to protest the fragility of permissive access & how companies are enclosing the countryside

Making sure I get out more and explore some of Cumbria’s finest spots.

Barkbooth Lot NR earlier this month and Drumburgh Moss NR yesterday. Good to reconnect with natural spaces and hear the birds, mostly Willow Warblers yesterday.

Despite being advised by the Climate Change Committee to reduce the production & consumption of meat/dairy, the UK government has funded, every year, campaigns to *increase* their consumption: shorturl.at/mWMkq
