Com’on 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿! @England are the most wonderful example of how our modern diverse nation can be. #GarethSouthgate allows his players to be themselves, speaking out on issues that are important to them. He shoulders criticism and hands on praise. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 ⚽️ 🏆 com’on ! I’m proud of you.

This is my response to the Guardian article on why the Restore Nature Now march didn't get media attention. I don't agree with the reasons given, so here is a thread explaining why I think it didn't hit the headlines. 🧵 1/12 https://t.co/GrIjQB4VrO

This blog, based on research in Norfolk & Suffolk, shows how people (and dogs) have driven Ringed Plovers (and Oystercatchers) away from good breeding sites.

@ThatVetSean @Crufts Just watching @Crufts live @ThatVetSean and dismayed that the word “vermin” (implying killing vermin) is still used in breed descriptions. Ok a throwback from the past, but do we still use the word vermin, aren’t we better than that? Wildlife is not vermin.
