A song thrush & a mistle thrush singing above the snowdrops today; a sweet-sad carolling for dear Heather of @littleramstudio. Tears for someone I never met, but felt very much like a friend to so many of us on here; such was her warmth, vibrancy, creativity, humour & humanity x

Hurray! Some good news for bees at last. Our new government has followed the science, and refused the application by sugar beet farmers to use banned neonicotinoid pesticides.

My first field note on Encounter… and it’s my frog-worthy new wildlife pond! I can’t wait to see how this progresses (the pond and Encounter). Well done @Encountertheapp Team for getting this far. A massive achievement.

I hoped for a day when a report like this would be written. Thank you! I care passionately about this! Everyone should read this report. @DorsetCouncilUK
On a day when house building is in the news, we publish a new report - LOST NATURE. In it, we asked if housing developers have been delivering their ecological commitments. Answer: NO. Read the report here: https://t.co/lOQucjUkNK 1/8
