So sorry to hear of the death of Matthew Frith, urban ecologist, founder of Woodberry Wetlands and heartbeat of the London Wildlife Trust. He was 64. I wrote this about him yesterday, and posted it on the Cook Oak website | @WildlifeTrusts

Barnet FC Match Report: Packed house, one point needed, two ice-cold nerve-quelling pens inside 20 mins, me and the lad on our feet, amber flares on the pitch, best footballing team in the league, so deserved. Champions! 4-0 #barnetfc

Hi, all. We play 2 shows at London’s MOTH club, Apr 6 & 7. Just us two, with Rex Horan on bass. No club bangers, just a chill folk-tronic vibe. Tickets offered to UK mailing list at 9am today. Sold out instantly. We hope to do more soon 😍

@John_BHarvey @tracey_thorn Hey, thanks. One of my faves too. And one for the crate diggers.

[Ben Watt @ben_watt]

Just seen new Tavares Strachan show at @haywardgallery. ‘Encyclopedia of Invisibility’ is worth entrance fee alone. Inspirational. Arctic explorer, cosmonaut and conceptual artist is also surely the best ever job description | @southbankcentre

[Ben Watt @ben_watt]

Been out the game for a few weeks. Back in it tonight with a new update for my #Spincycle playlist. Find MRCY, Remi Wolf, Jimmy Guiffre and more. Now 98hrs, 1,500 songs. Dive in!

Good to see Labour’s @SteveReedMP promising a ‘commitment to revive wetlands’. Maybe he can knock some sense into @BarnetLabour and get them to block @BarrattPlc planned 200m footbridge that’ll destroy part of Brent Reservoir SSSI. A no-brainer, surely?

Fancy a cuppa? Just made these. First attempt, fresh out of the oven 👨🏻‍🍳✌️

[Ben Watt @ben_watt]

First of the new tern rafts going in at Brent Reservoir. Someone should be happy.

Thanks @CanalRiverTrust @CRTSouthEast @welshharpgroup

@piemanefc Sorry to hear. Remember, I was diagnosed and first treated over 30 years ago. The new era of biologics has certainly changed the picture for treatment since then! Best of luck.

Took the train to Slade Green this morning and walked over Crayford Marshes for the first time. Cuckoo singing beyond the breakers yards and forklifts. Hedgerow alive with whitethroat. Common sandpiper, oystercatcher and avocet at the mouth of the Darent. Urban birding 😍

[Ben Watt @ben_watt]

Well, would you believe it!
