Sat down to eat my sandwiches and this popped out of the nearest rock. On the north side of the Solway, looking across to Cumbria. Undeniably cute even if we’d be better off without them.

1 October for my slot, tickets from on the festival website. Loads of good stuff this year, including plenty on the environment. Well worth a look.

When this relentlessly persecuted bird is (with no trace of irony) used as a defence of driven grouse shooting you know the race is almost run. A handful of devotees will cling on of course, for as long as they can. But this outdated, damaging activity is doomed.
🦅 A 1,150% surge in England’s hen harrier population proves what works: collaboration, active management and the vital role of grouse moors. From 0 nests in 2013 to a record 141 chicks in 2023, read about one of the UK’s great conservation success stories. Link in replies 👇
