@Natures_Voice We live in Peak District National Park. First 5 years living there we never heard or saw a curlew. Then came covid. The people went and the curlews came. Dozens of them. We need to stop human access to areas where ground nesting birds nest. It really is as simple as that.

@chrishague16 Was good to meet you and Bertie on river bank yesterday.

Mornin’ folks.

We’ve had a lot of people enquiring about and commenting on #bumblebees asleep on #flowers, especially at this time of year, so here’s a quick (long)🙄 thread explaining what’s going on.

Please retweet so more are more informed.
Thanks good people.

@FlyfishingSedge Switched this season from Simms vest to fishpond and I love it. User friendly and better on my old lower back.

@PaulReevesEA @EnvAgencyMids Best wishes for the future Paul. Thanks again for responding promptly and sorting pollution issue I reported to you couple years back on river Wye.

[Doug Sked @DougSked]

@Safernoc934 Great to hear. Does that mean that trees showing some sign of die back may recover? Or do resistant trees not display any symptoms ?

[I❤️Nostalgia '𝕏' @Ilovenostalgia]

Do you know why?

Lime Lounge Bakewell.
Now that’s clever.
