Had a walk round our neighbouring farm today
Just sickening
Family farm for generations beautiful blue/grey cattle & swale ewes all gone
Rich pasture fields & hay meadows all gone to be planted with conifers
Never seen new owner

Greenfinches now on RSPBs “red list” awful decline (over 60% in 15years) due to disease, trichomonosis caught on DIRTY FEEDERS. “The largest scale mortality of British birds due to infectious disease on record” say BTO. Cleaning feeders is critical. @FinchesFriend makes it easy.
@James_BG But it's not enough. This isn't a case of 'something is better than nothing'. There is a tipping point, from which coming back is not an option. This agreement doesn't stop us going over that tipping point. The fact that Alok Sharma was in tears says it all.
The govt needs to make it clear to councils that things like this area not acceptable in the current climate crisis - councils seem to be to often bowing to the moans of the tidy brigade rather then trying to educate and stand up for what is needed
FFS ! Who or what did this ? A bloody terminator ? This is shameful @LeedsCC_News - what message does this send to a community in a biodiversity crisis ? It’s vandalism of the worse order .
@rothiemoon @sritchie43 Animals will get a sense when thunder storms are coming due to air pressure changes, so the sudden onset of the noise I imagine is far more stressful.
@plymouthcc This is terrible. The destruction of biodiversity and use of sprays. Abdication of responsibility as a council to explain to people why nature should be protected not destroyed. And to top it all, spending taxpayers' money on a parody-like public relations film. Please re-think.
