We face an urgent nature and climate crisis. But instead of a plan for nature's recovery on land and at sea, the UK Government is pursuing a dangerous agenda of deregulation that puts the very laws protecting wildlife at risk. But what does this mean exactly? (1/12)

Very exciting to see our resident blackbird feeding 2 fledglings and enjoying our wild patch 🐥 #30DaysWild

Hiking in the peaks for the first wild weekend of #30DaysWild ⛰

[Emily Buttress @EmilyMcP]

Gave a helping hand to a newly fledged blue tit who was probably stunned. After relocating to a tree and left in peace for 10 mins, they were ready to fly off 🥰 #30DaysWild

Over 100 metres of hedgerow planted today at @EssexWildlife Wrabness nature reserve 💪

I have a question but hopefully it’s a good topic. I know when people pass away, people often don’t know what to say or how to comfort you and it can make for uncomfortable convos. What’s something you wish someone would have said to you while dealing with a painful loss?

[Emily Buttress @EmilyMcP]

Half way through my #BigGardenBirdWatch and at least someone has shown up on time 😂 @Natures_Voice

[Emily Buttress @EmilyMcP]

In loving memory of my father, Michael Joseph McParland QC. We are honouring his legacy by encouraging donations to @TrussellTrust, a charity he had only just donated to because he hated the idea of anyone going hungry at Christmas.
