The UK is one of the most nature depleted countries on π yet a π§±is too much of a stretch for Labour to save our swifts.This symbolic π₯ is for those who care that the existence of swifts is on the line.I hate campaigning but Iβll never give up on the birds.If you care,shareπ

This video is brilliant. Seems a total slam dunk that owners of private jets should pay fuel duties. Doesn't it? The answer is annoying.

Silk Button Galls - they look like little red doughnuts, although we don't think they come sugar-coated! π© Maybe a rename is in order, do you think Doughnut Galls would catch on?! . #galls #gallwasp #oakleaf #autumn #parasite #biodiversity #insects #rewilding

The cattle have neatly grazed around this patch of gorse, so it's certainly very easy for late flying insects to find πππͺ° . #gorse #floweringplants #autumnflowers #biodiversity #flowers #insects #foodforinsects #nectar #rewilding #northdevon #devonrewildingnetwork

A surprise to see dragonflies still on the wing, although Migrant Hawkers are known to be one of the late fliers. Does anyone else still have dragonflies? . #dragonfly #dragonflies #migranthawker #insect #autumn #pondlife #northdevon #rewilding #rewildingdevon #rewildingbritain

Nick had a good day at the @SomersetWT 'Wilder' event over the weekend. He has hopefully put the Roborough project firmly on the radar in our neighbouring county! . #wilder #rewilding #nature #environment #rewildingdevon #rewildingsomerset #rewildingbritain #rewildingnetwork

Tragic. Preventable. Final. The Slender-billed Curlew is officially extinct, declared today by the IUCN. On our watch. We are technically brilliant and carelessly blind. Sit with the silence. Then fight for what remains. #Extinction #BiodiversityCrisis #Curlews
