My husband and I took part in a few @btobirds.bsky.social surveys this year. We previously had very little experience, but it was fun & we learned a lot in the process.
Maybe you'd like to sign up for one of their volunteer projects in 2026? www.bto.org/get-involved...

New Year's resolution
Thinking of giving something back to birds in 2026? A wide range of BTO surveys needs volunteers, writes Chris Harbard, and there's something suitable for every birder, whatever your level of experience:

Britain has a new snake species – should climate change mean it is allowed to stay?
This species could be the poster child for conservation on a warming planet.

The @BritishMedicalAssociation has decided resident (junior) doctors will strike over Christmas. They don't have public support. Personally, I'm appalled. Last year's pay deal was very generous.

China is eyeing up UK mineral resources - tin, copper and tungsten. All are vital for electronics. Our Government must support home- grown Cornish businesses extracting these vital strategic minerals.

Should someone create a Helen Whately Fan Club?
Ah, the vacuous Helen Whately, who recently claimed you could get a free car if you have acne
I'd have no reason to question the credibility of anything she has to say about welfare

NEW: A major boost for mutuals and co-operatives across the UK as package of support to grow the sector is announced.
We've long called for regulators to play a greater role in enabling growth. Today's big news is another promising step on our journey to doubling the co-operative and mutual sector📈

Another strike by Resident (junior) Doctors - the public will have little sympathy. In all my years working in local government I never received the generous pay rises they feel entitled to.
As a supporter of our NHS I'm appalled that Resident (aka Junior) Doctors have chosen to strike yet again. I think the majority of patients will agree with me that they are well paid and they're being greedy.
