What has the RSPB got to say about farming in the UK?
For months, ministers have been pushing a false choice between nature and growth.
Now, new research shows just how out of touch they are.
With data from More In Common, it's time to set the record straight. 👇

Societal apathy has rendered us helpless

Sir Keir Starmer has been specifically named in a UN report for complicity in Israel's genocide.
The report states that the UK government played "a key role in military collaboration with Israel... a collective crime... with detailed knowledge and cooperation in the destruction of Gaza." 🧵

Quick Cop 30 update:
Leaders haven’t done shit to protect the planet, and they won’t start now.
Starmer only listens to lobbyists anyway.
Nobody will save us.

In just two months, nearly half of Hektoria Glacier on the Antarctic Peninsula disintegrated — retreating 8 kilometers, the fastest glacier retreat ever recorded in modern history.

I’m more confused than ever 😂
Decent scares, exposition heavy, alright I guess.
Now, can someone talk to me about that ending?
Who is Beverly?

Concerning thread.
Certainly throws the idea of wildfowl vagrancy in doubt. Especially Garganey….

Interesting(!) that these captive-bred ducks for sale in East Yorkshire seem to be unringed in very many cases. Baikal, Blue-winged, Green-winged Teals, plus Garganeys. Dread to think how many end up in the wild and in local bird reports... #ukbirding

The fact I can see Raven and Buzzard from the house.
Yellowhammer, not so much.

Raven, Red Kite, Buzzard, which when I first visited Norfolk in the early 1980s was unimaginable, I was used to seeing them all in Wales, but there Waxwing was an unlikely sight.
