Brilliant news on a Friday afternoon: gov will launch new natural history GCSE. It's taken Mary Colwell, @carolinelucas.bsky.social & others years of campaigning. (I'm praying it'll be introduced quickly enough for my children!)

My main worry with this whole 'grey belt' thing is how they're defining it. I see the housing minister refers to "low-value scrub land" alongside things like... disused petrol stations.
Low-value scrub sounds suspiciously like high-value habitat.

My student Griffin just sent me this profoundly sad photo of a Great Bowerbird bower. The painting on the right depicts what the bower should look like, filled with pebbles, shells, and bones. Nowadays, the birds use what they can most easily find in their surroundings: garbage.
