According to my photo storage, on this day in 2008 I was taking pictures of a rag crucified on a groyne. @QuaysideKat

@Matt_building @AdrianRamsay @Natures_Voice Breeding programmes have very limited impact if the habitat needed by the species no longer exists, hence the focus on that.

@back_the_BBC It is a nonsense survey. How would GPs know about over diagnosis unless they think their own diagnoses are wrong? There is no valid data in this and it is appalling journalism.

@philipgwynfan @theAliceRoberts @globalhlthtwit My reading is that lockdowns were damaging but became necessary because early inaction and failures.
I think pro or anti lockdown is an over simplification. Can you not be anti people dying unnecessarily (and anti incompetence and poor decision making)?

@KatyaTaylor ‘Forced to volunteer’ doesn’t really work does it - forced labour/slave labour , absolutely immoral and surely illegal.

@RedRiverCroft I think this is a good comparison, and yes, a classic. I will not now live in either place, but there a books that change the way you relate to your own environment/special place.

@RedRiverCroft When I read it I knew it was a book I would read again - ‘medicine for the soul’ is very good description.

@ABRACKENBURY @jimcausley Thank you for this recommendation- it is a real gem. What a lovely collection of songs from some of my favourites.

@herdyshepherd1 @Waterstones It is a wonderful book - I know it is one I will read again.

@FavColour_Green Frustratingly the Local Plan is a good document which gives good direction on biodiversity and heritage but planning departments are under resourced as well as sometimes poorly informed. Our elected reps are keen but in awe of the professionals.

@MsAshtonDennis I came to Jane Austen late (despite studying Eng Lit). It doesn't seem that her humour is well understood. I don't suppose the adaptations have helped? I suspect Jane Austen is more widely watched than read.

@LoveGrowingVeg Raised bed, netting … Rabbit!

[Brett Butler @BrettQuays]

@GardenBrocante That sounds about right - you found a good selection.

[Brett Butler @BrettQuays]

@LoveGrowingVeg Yes, absolutely normal. Normal for power cables as well! 😲

Yesterday evening's rising mist to remind us what the the fen used to be - a water world.

@SueSci4shaw @PeterStefanovi2 @WilfredFrost Yes, it is supposed to be of benefit to the child, but it is not an amount of money (like the old Statement system). The use of 'benefit' by the interviewer is misleading in the current climate.

@pollyrowena @wainwrightprize This gorgeous owl sat a few feet from our window early one morning. On the day we moved into our cottage a barn owl visited in the evening to tell us we were home.

[Brett Butler @BrettQuays]

@pollyrowena @wainwrightprize Just finished reading this wonderful book. Congratulations from me and our local owls.
