🚜All the wrong kind of drama today... Picture this: fields with curlew chicks hiding being cut for silage! Enter Bruce, our cool curlew champion contractor. With a thermal drone, and a crew of fabulous farmers and volunteers, a dashing (sic) rescue was orchestrated. 1/

UK Government promised voters they would “protect nature” and “ensure…new towns and housebuilding include nature at their heart”. So why are new planning changes weakening environmental protections for developments? 😕🧵 (1/5)
