Robbed by Ryan Air. Read small print. Check in £55. Bag £35. Someone coping round in a min to charge for breathing their oxygen. Never again. No saving from this mode of travel.

Best quote from Roy's book about capercaillies steady flow to extinction is that big thinking is demanding and does not produce an easy flow of scientific papers. In consequence it's discounted. That's where we are with nature conservation

We are trying to rescue Beer Mill for the future. An amazing wildlife site that's full of life not from where we are rewilding right now. If we are successful we save much. If we fail then it will be destroyed by farming in an instant.

Wandering round a Dutch museum of farming today. The buildings which were built in 1600's endured in a system which endured until the 1940s. Then came the chemicals and the nasty pundits who pedal their sale. Now we have catastrophic disaster in less than century. Shame.

Golden eagle reintroduction poses threat to English farmers. NFU lying again. Their high chiefs sit on the boards of vast farming companies that span the globe. This is just cynical nonsense to cultivate membership from poor farmers they care nothing for.

https://t.co/Vep2HH2uPu. Here we go again running out of water. No mention of wetland recreation of the protection of habitats to store. I was in Wales recently all valley mosses in landscape around has a digger in them draining. Thinking disjointed near utterly.
