My annual birdwatch for @worldlandtrust.org was one of the wettest and windiest yet, so good photos were hard to come by, but here are my best bird photos taken at WWT Slimbridge.

Spotted Redshank with Shoveler, Garganeys, Spoonbill.

Quite impressed that half the post which arrived today (from the Co-op, @alzheimerssoc.bsky.social and @newstatesman.com) uses @worldlandtrust.org carbon-balanced paper.

The government are consulting on proposed changes to the regulations around burning heather and grass.

We know this isn't good for us, or good for the environment.

Please respond: we've written a handy guide here ▶️ wildjustice.org.uk/general/plea...
