This World Environment Day, remember: the Amazon matters - to all of us.
Protecting the Amazon is a shared responsibility.
Because what happens in the forest doesn't stay there. It shapes our future, everywhere.

It's unacceptable for policing to look like this in America. This should both frighten and outrage anyone who wants the US to remain a free society.

A true Swift Hero!
Another car load of nest boxes for Save Our Suffolk Swifts from John Stimpson, I couldn’t quite squeeze enough in for one to be the 45,000th one he has now made. We have free Community Sets available for prominent elevations of public buildings @suffolkwildlife @SuffolkBirdGrp

I hear people tutting about how scruffy my front garden looks as they walk past in winter and spring… . Then this happens in the summer. Nectar magnet for insects everywhere. And it looks rather lovely too. Tidy isn’t for everyone or everything.

Yes. During summer holidays you left the house at 9am and got home at 9pm. You’d blag some lunch from one of your mates parents and get up to mischief until it started to get dark. And guess what, we’re didn’t spend all day being offended by everything.

In affairs of the heart, know your flowers!
A legend tells that when the young knight Sir Rupert gave his sweetheart, Lady Edith, a pink dianthus — a symbol of pure love — she unknowingly returned a striped carnation, which in the language of flowers means “I cannot be with you.”
Broken-hearted, Sir Rupert went off to war. Believing herself forsaken, Lady Edith followed him in disguise, dressed as an archer. In battle, she struck Sir Rupert with an arrow — perhaps in grief, or revenge. But as he lay wounded, she saw the striped carnation he had kept close to his breast.
Realising her mistake, she fell to the ground weeping and revealed her identity. They understood at last what had gone wrong.
Fortunately, Sir Rupert survived his wounds — and he and Lady Edith lived happily ever after, vowing never again to take the language of flowers so literally!

Great idea! And even better if we nominate one for a special reason 🌳💚.

🎥 | Damson Idris on Lewis Hamilton’s involvement on the #F1TheMovie:
“He kinda called BS on some of the sequences that wouldn’t happen in real life.”
“It was really just a sense of encouragement from Lewis. Anytime he came on set – everyone would be really excited.”
“He’d congratulate me and encourage me to keep going, and that fuelled me throughout the whole process of filming.”

Yes, I love painting flowers and sunny days.
But again and again I am drawn back to the beauty of the night. The creatures that exist in the part of the day that we so often miss out on.

💥Massive legal win for @RiverActionUK💥
Judge rules that livestock mega farms must take account of cumulative environmental impact
Had this ruling been there 10 years ago the desecration of the River Wye by intensive 🐓production would never have happened shropshirestar.com/news/2025…

Within minutes of arriving this morning at Kinnaird Head, I witnessed this. I got myself down onto the rocks as they passed within 50-100 metres.
My eleventh Orca sighting in past six weeks.
Don’t visit whale-killing Norway to see Orca when you can see them in Scotland 🏴

In 1660 it took them 5 weeks of marching to get from Berwick-upon-tweed to London, today, it's just over a three hour train ride which will see the @ColdstreamGds return to their birthplace. 🇬🇧
We have a team accompanying them - so stay tuned to join us on their journey. 🚂
