The loss of vultures in India led to *half a million* excess deaths in five years in India. Incredible.

Enjoying the beautiful summer evenings from the comfort of my hammock

How do you spend your evenings?

Idea: Before writing an essay, have ChatGPT write one on the same topic to show you what would be the conventional thing to say, so you can avoid saying that.

@MahyarTousi Plus it costs £30-50k just to run as an MP, whether you're successful or not...

Loving being back on the farm for a couple of weeks. Nothing better than open air, green fields, and well cared for animals.

Although by this point Clarkson probably knows more about farming than me.

P.s. over the course of the last week, the Americans have by far been the most prone to exaggeration and worrying. Perhaps I should tell the @guardian we made a hot air balloon out of Papier-mâché in order to escape and see if they print it.

As someone who was 'trapped' at Aguas Calientes and who hiked out, I find this article bizarre. Lots of OTT reporting going on. #MachuPicchu

Some roadblocks also very much still intact...🚧

[Alexander Crossley @Crossley_Alex]

35km hike complete. Tired but intact.

At various points along the tracks locals have laid piles of rocks like this. In other places, they've set fire to the tracks and destroyed the sleepers. Repairs underway.
