Mulch your plants. Put out fresh water for birds and small mammals. Don't mow your lawn. Let brambles grow. Leave cut apples out for wildlife.

After careful thought I will shortly be closing both my twitter profiles.
Since becoming X, i have been disturbed by the lack of control on the site and the proliferation of fake news.
It is no longer the place to post. I will be moving to blue-sky shortly.

According to @guardian, the owners handing in #xlbullies will be put down. Got to say that's a bit harsh. :)) #media

Hamas committed horrendous war crimes. But they provide no justification for war crimes by the Israeli government. The laws of war apply to everyone.

A statement from the Jerusalem Patriarchs and Heads of Churches about the deepening humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
Please read and repost.
Israel's request for people to leave Gaza is impossible. The risk is catastrophic loss of innocent life. It would be a war crime on a scale not seen since #WW2 #IsraelPalestineConflict

Two flags @SuellaBraverman that are of equal value. Both are legitimate nations with many incredible people seeking peace and reconciliation. To identify with the rights of #Palestinian people does NOT make you a sympathiser of #HamasTerrorism

Violence is never the answer. I condemn Hamas for targeting civilians, the brutal Israeli military response, the illegal occupation of Palestine & siege of Gaza.The international community must hold all to account for human rights abuses & renew push for just political settlement

The 2023 #StateOfNature report shows that nature loss is still out of control 📉
This year’s figures show that almost 1,500 are at risk of being lost ☠️ 2/3
As #rosebank is approved the utter ignorance and greed of our current government is revealed. @arochaint

This is #TenerifeFire. In more than 20 nations, out of control fires are burning. The sooner we wake up to the catastrophe the world faces, the quicker we can pull together to act to end the love affair with oil and gas. @CClimateAction @arochaint @ARochaUK @GreenChristian_
We have a government with no moral credibility. No understanding of the depth of trouble we are in. No realisation that new oil and gas will only lead to greater pain. @arochaint
