A few weeks ago I emailed @RoughGuides about promoting dolphin and whale shows at #Oceanographic #Valencia. I'm pleased to say they have just responded positively. Much to do, but thank you @ericaawells

Absolutely. And the longer England carries on without wild #beaver releases, the longer we deny ourselves these enormous climate, ecological, and economic benefits... Time for Ministers to make that decision please!
As #COP29 draws to a close in Baku, perhaps it is a good moment to be reminded that despite the complex global politics, there are practical things we can do on the ground here in England. & in acting to build resilience to climate change impacts, we can restore Nature too.

Things have just got a lot more difficult . Here’s what I think . I had no control over what just happened . None . But I do have control over how I will react to it . And I am not going to give up on the beautiful and the good , the grip on my dreams just got tighter .

Life's a beech..... recalling @Lucy_Lapwing and her wonderful explanation on Autumnwatch @BBCSpringwatch
These trails are left by TINY caterpillars living *inside* leaves. Inside the caterpillar lives a bacteria. The bacteria causes the caterpillar to emit a hormone in its spit, which keeps the leaf green. It stops autumn in its tracks until it emerges. Nature is MINT😍 #Autumnwatch

" La honte, ce n'est pas à nous de l'avoir, c'est à eux" Gisèle Pelicot
Gisèle Pelicot walking to take the stand today, her strength echoing in every step: “It’s not for us to have shame, it’s for them,” she told the court. "I want all women who have been raped to say: Madame Pelicot did it, I can too. I don't want them to be ashamed any longer,"
