Another nail in the ⚰️Labour have refused to mandate swift bricks while announcing the £13.2bn budget for insulation. I’ve explained how national scale insulation is destroying cavity nesting habitat without mitigating the loss & indirect mitigation with swift bricks would work.

Enough is enough! Shooting birds for fun is disgusting and inhumane.
Stop glorifying this senseless slaughter and ban it once and for all!

I've just signed @savebutterflies open letter to the Govt calling on them to declare a #NatureEmergency– 80% of our butterflies have declined since 1970 , we need to work hard and fast tackling the root problems if we are to reverse these declines .

Can I interest you in a little hope?
Cried tears of hope and pride seeing the footage tonight. I hope those terrified in asylum hotels can see all the people that support them and our human rights lawyers.
Well done @AntiRacismDay
Fuck the far right. THIS is who we are 🇬🇧

Anyone: what you thinking about?
Me: swifts Soon they’ll be gone, this year’s chicks beginning a maiden flight lasting up to 3 years. By next year the UK’s breeding population will have declined by an estimated 10k. They need @UKLabour to mandate swift bricks

Ive updated my info-graphic on Artificial Lawns in light of yet more harmful impacts coming to light in recent years. Please feel free to save it and share it whenever you see people considering plastic grass on social media. @Shitlawns @BanPlasticTurf @Against3G

As you watch the Aurora this evening, it’s worth reflecting that you’re getting a rare direct glimpse of the power of Nature. Those charged particles causing the atmosphere to glow came from a sunspot complex 17 times the diameter of Earth and traveled across 90 million miles at a million miles an hour. Without our magnetic field to protect us, our atmosphere would have been lost to space long ago. Those colours in the sky are Nature reminding us that we’re very lucky to be here amidst the violence. And perhaps therefore also reminding us not to shite it all up :-)

There’s something that needs addressing. I felt compelled to make this video to explain why a #NoMowMay, if undertaken on its own, is a PROBLEM for #wildlife. This video will no doubt ruffle feathers, but people need the right information👇#NoMowSummer

There are so many green spaces in our towns and villages that are over-mown or sprayed, but which could instead be boosting biodiversity and bringing nature back into our lives like this corner of Cambridge. RT if you agree 🐝

Let the dandelions grow! They support over 50 insects species, and are a great early season food source for pollinators like bees, butterflies, hoverflies. No need to mow and ps don't use weedkiller. More: bitly.com/2FYQUhp RT if you're on board 🐝

Dandelions are so important for the early pollinators and seed-eating birds. Please let them grow
One of the best things you can do to help pollinators is to let dandelions grow. They support 50+ insect species, including butterflies, bumblebees and hoverflies - and are a good source of early nectar when there aren’t many other flowers about.

We can only thrive as a species, if #nature thrives too. Why do our politicians & world leaders continue to ignore the signs & facts that our scientists have proven time & time again. We have the power to live in harmony with this beautiful planet 🌎 – at Rochford, East

Our #garden birds need all the help they can get at the moment, with all the freezing temperatures & storm #Isha. Now is a great time to put up some bird boxes, give them somewhere to roost & continue to feed them.
On @WildYourGarden online shop, you’ll find all you need to help our feathered friends, including our special blend of bird seed, that has been specifically designed to be no waste & can be fed from a feeder or as a ground feed. Check out our new ranges of bird feeders also. 😊
We have also worked with our box builder to create our unique roosting box (pictured), to provide many birds with somewhere safe to spend the night.
It’s also not too late to put up any bird boxes before the start of the nesting season, of which we have everything from Blue tit to Barn Owls & Swift boxes. 👇
