New video up, all the amazing wildlife @gregannandale.com has caught on his incredibly well placed trail camera. The wetlands in Warleigh Nature Reserve are hosting a whole load of life and more will flock here as the heatwave continues. youtu.be/F-g80SRS_Ek?...

Lower Thames Crossing will destroy 0.32 hectares of ancient woodland per km, which is 3x the 0.09 hectares of ancient woodland directly impacted per km for HS2. Then there’s the emissions for construction and usage. Both wildly different. Can we please get mad about the right projects.

🚨 BATH: Lidl are once again trying to trash a wildflower meadow in Bath. There’s beavers living there, and this land should be protected and enhanced not tarmaced (which will obviously make the flooding worse.) Please object asap and donate to legal transitionlarkhall.wordpress.com/save-baths-w...

Pet owners accidentally poisoning garden birds. Our latest research finds pet flea treatments (fipronil and imidacloprid) in 100% of blue tit and great tit nests, with nestling mortality higher in the more contaminated nest. @SongBirdSBS @SussexUni @CannelleTassin
