The vilest of people! Hare coursing scumbags!
Another ‘knockout’ result at court The men, Billy Joe Saunders (36), Maurice John Smith (36), Noah Stanley (54) and Noah Stanley (26) were convicted after dogs used for hunting were found in their possession and videos of the crime were found on their phones @NFUtweets 1/2

I have managed to put together all the videos of my Pallid Swifts 5 weeks. I cannot believe how small it was when I took on the project - its eyes were not even open. So glad it made it to fledging. Hope it makes in back 🤞 #birds #swift #swifts #birdsseenin2025 #BirdsOfTwitter

Unfortunately no Marsh Helleborines at Herts only known site? I’ve only ever had small numbers but couldn’t find any evidence of them today 😢 #hertsorchids @ukorchids @EuropeanOrchids @BSBIbotany @HMWTBadger @HNHSOC @wildflower_hour @HardyOrchidSoc

Not enough people are contacting their MPs. If you love swifts email your MP saying ‘Swift bricks need to be mandated. Guidelines and policy aren’t enough.’ Put ‘swift bricks’ in the subject. We must try harder. The tories CAN back the swift brick amendment now. Let’s make them.

I urge the Government to back my Planning & Infrastructure Bill amendments. We were promised a win-win for nature and growth - we got a developer’s charter that will destroy nature. Let’s change course and deliver for workers and wildlife. https://t.co/yn5yNSezVm

Apologies for straying off topic but the first House Martins and Swallows are now arriving back & Suffolk is bone dry. If you have an open area create a mud splat and keep it moist until we have rain if you can. Here is a big splat in Woolpit! @SuffolkBirdGrp @ukhousemartins
