On the opposite side of the world to home currently, but thanks to Amy-Jane Beer, for writing about Wild Finca in @guardian Country Diary, after her recent visit theguardian.com/environment/…
Just returned from the 2nd Taygetos International Film Camp in Kalamata where we deliver masterclasses in #film and #documentary and work with students to produce short documentaries in the Greek mountains 🇬🇷🎥

We have had a wonderful first day at the 2nd Taygetos Film Camp here in the Taygetos Mountains near Kalamata, Greece, sponsored and facilitated by @peldocfest , during which students, volunteers and tutors visited a number of villages in the region and were introduced to the local people and communities. Students are now starting to engage with potential subjects for their documentaries and small production teams are starting to form. Tomorrow we have a second day of exploring the area and its communities, before then commencing a number of workshops that will lead into production. The people in the area are super excited about participating in this project and have been incredibly welcoming. The food we have been served has been amazing.

We finished off a wonderful Kalamata International Film Camp in the Taygetos mountains in Greece last night, organised and managed by the Peloponnese International Documentary Film Festival. Students completed 7 short documentaries working with subjects and communities in the small villages in the region, who were able to come to an atmospheric outdoor screening under the stars. The films were extremely well received. Congratulations to all involved.
Agree with @campbellclaret here. Unfortunately this is a perfect example of speciesm. People have been on bank notes for decades. There are museums and galleries dedicated to them. We've wrecked our natural world beyond repair, the least you can do is put them on a bank note.
Sorry @EdwardJDavey I have stood up for you when @RoryStewartUK has attacked your “silly stunts” as he calls them because I know how hard it can be for smaller parties to get attention. But this is BS on a @Nigel_Farage scale. Nobody alive imagines that Churchill legend will wane because we see his face less on a banknote. And the public demand (inc I imagine many many LibDems) is for our nature and wildlife to be celebrated alongside our great humans. Leave the culture wars to the bullshitters who have nothing else to offer. These are really serious times. Be serious.
I am thoroughly enjoying people lose their minds over putting our British wildlife on a bank note. What happened to national pride?

I think, with other issues too, this is one of the big causes here for decline in Salmónids also. Lots of roads alongside rivers, and a huge increase in car traffic in the last decade locally.
First post of #2026 and testing the water to see if there is any reason to stay on this platform.

Some new parcels added to Wild Finca this Christmas. So today we set out to remove the barbed wire that has been separating them for the last goodness knows how many years.

Thanks for sharing my wife’s book @BirdGuides. All about our life here in Asturias.
No Paradise with Wolves review
This debut provides an absorbing and honest account of buying and restoring a small Spanish finca, navigating the realities of rewilding a patch of land shared with the divisive Iberian Wolf: bit.ly/3Yrs8j5

We are recruiting a few different new roles @Moreincommon_ UK, if you're interested in any of them and think you'd enjoy our work do take a look. moreincommon.org.uk/about-us…
Disppointed with @polcurrency's Q&A around planning and bats. Really failed to take into account how depleted in biodiversity we are in the UK, and that these sentiments "We should protect biodiversity, but..." are exactly the route cause of why we're so depleted.
I really hope this isn't true. I've been in favour of an income tax rise to get back on track. Nobody wants one but it feels like most direct way of funding services. If she u-turns now after 12 months of wasting time, what has she been doing?!

In regards to this thread. Here is the edge of the main pond the cattle have been drinking from for the last month. Note badger prints in the lower part of the image…🦡

At the end of 2020, the fine for trapping blackcaps and other songbirds with limesticks was lowered from 2000 to 200 euros. Lower fines mean hunters have less incentive to stop killing. The slaughter must stop. #OperationDeadAir operationdeadair.org

After a summer of searching, my friends and I found local wolves at last. Magical to watch them without them knowing we were there. Truly wild. Lots of luck and patience combined!

If you want to get close to and photograph wildlife without disturbing it, try renting a photography hide. Here are some of the best UK hides available and the species you can expect to see
