A great day in the sun at @RSPBFrampton with wonderful views of the Black-winged Stilt parents, chicks were safely hidden in the long grass. Lots of people enjoying the opportunity to see and photograph them. Here’s one of my shots

I just took part in the #BigPlasticCount, UK’s biggest investigation into household plastic waste. Here’s what I found really happens to my plastic waste: ♻️6% recycled 🌍9% sent abroad 🔥55% burnt ⛰️30% sent to landfill This is shocking, right?! @Jochurchill_MP @pow_rebecca

This morning I heard my first local Cuckoo very close to home, will have windows open listening as I work from home today. Yesterday I saw and heard one on Wharncliffe Chase, Sheffield so it’s a good time to listen and look @FictionFox

Not an @ChrisGPackham grade photo, but was intrigued by the colouring of this fox I saw on the prowl last night at Gwbert, West Wales.

Result! A while ago I submitted an online request for a bin at the end of the path near our house where we often pick up litter and dog bags. This morning one has appeared. thanks @doncaster_uk @MayorRos

Really enjoy the way @amolrajan conducts his interviews on @r4Today even with the panics he causes when he gets the time wrong. Today’s conversation with @JohnSimpsonNews about Afghanistan’s looming famine crisis particularly moving and concerning. – at East, England
After a year of meeting virtually on Zoom the final session of the @DioceseofSheff Lights For Christ learning hub is in person. Great to see people and hear their stories. #LightsForChrist @liccltd
