I'm an unapologetic advocate of reintroducing wolves to the Highlands but acutely aware how culturally difficult that will be and how much would have to change, land management wise, for co-existence to work. But it's nice to dream, eh? So I did just that

This map shows which year had the warmest summer on record, for mean temperature, area by area. Note that for many areas, it was summer 2025. 1976 is no longer the warmest summer on record for any area.

All snow melted in Scotland by August 6th this year, the earliest on record by over two weeks. This graphic helps to explain the reason why. Full melting used to be exceptional up until the early 2000s. Now survivals are becoming the exception, a 180° turn in almost no time.

My annual hunt for autumn has borne fruit early this year, which is remarkable given the amount of anomalous warmth kicking around in 2025. Here she is, in all her ephemeral glory, a small pool of sub-528DAM air nosing across the west of Greenland. Winter is coming.

Not quite as early as last year but the 528DAM line is back !! Out west again, over Baffin Island, but the boreal autumn will be showing its hand closer to home in a week's time, with north winds bringing Svalbard its first snowfall of the season. Good news for us winter fans😌

Absolutely sensational on the Ouse Washes at dusk today!! Ducks, Geese, Gulls, Waders, Swans…and then the Cranes came. I think 87, arriving together, flying straight towards me calling and then circling. One of the best things I’ve seen! 🤩 @CambsBirdClub

In Baku today it is as if there are five @DavidLammy clones. He is everywhere at COP & making a huge & hugely positive impression.  I can’t exaggerate how great it is to have such a senior figure drag the focus away from the technocratic one-dimensional focus on carbon counting

It’s winter. The buzzing has stopped - mostly. So what’s happened to all the #bees? You’ve been asking…so a quick thread to broadly account for our little #friends at this time of year. Please #retweet and #share. You know the drill. The more informed the better for bees. 1/13

If you’re still on the fence about voting in this election, think about what really matters – about the values we were taught, the kind of country we want to be, and how this is a moment when your vote really does count.  Your vote could determine the fate of our republic – the

It’s not that we blame them, it’s that we’ve degraded to systems to the extent they can’t co-exist as they once would’ve. When you lose sea otters from a kelp forest on N.America’s pacific coast, do you blame sea urchins for proliferating and eating all the kelp? Of course not.

As always Paddy says much better than I ever could something I have bumbled on about for ages. Discussions about land should be as much about state land as private land and as much about the "how" of land management as the "who" of land ownership.

Think how hard it is to secure footage like this - to show so clearly what these #criminals are up to, far from prying eyes, worried only about being caught out by tracking technology. How often do you think these crimes can be documented like this, and how many go unrecorded?
