[John Parker @Hydeflyer]

@darkpeakbirder @BTO_GBW I got my first this morning as well! Canal near Strines.

@MancRockChick @WWTMartinMere A lot of them overwinter in the UK these days. Could be one of those? Usually the first migrants reach the north of England mid March. But these days who can tell?

[John Parker @Hydeflyer]

Absolutely ***king disgusting!

[Chris Packham @ChrisGPackham]

@RuthTingay @WildJustice_org @MarkAvery @ChrisGPackham Utterly disgusting! The futility of this destruction is unbelievable!

[John Parker @Hydeflyer]

@darkpeakbirder If this is at Compstall, I think it's a hybrid. Probably white front / greylag?

[John Parker @Hydeflyer]

@james_minchin @savebutterflies @BC_Yorkshire @ukbutterflies I think it's been a good year as I've logged a few on Werneth Low in the last three weeks. Also I reckon it's the best year I can remember for speckled wood and holly blue. Very few peacocks though?

[John Parker @Hydeflyer]

@james_minchin Just had the same experience. Was going to crop mine this afternoon then 2 red ads have just appeared on the last two tiny flowers. I'll leave it another week!

[Wildlife and Countryside Link @WCL_News]

With @Natures_Voice and @alexsobel at @RSPBDoveStone today to see the benefits of upland peatland restoration

Wetter, more diverse upland peat habitats are better for biodiversity & climate, & cut the risk of flooding & fire💦

Restoring nature is good news for people & planet🌍

[John Parker @Hydeflyer]

@chrisfroome @LeTour @IsraelPremTech @FactorBikes @sciconsports Great ride Chris. Up there with the best again!

[WernethLowEnviroGroup @WernethLowEnvir]

Skylarks are nesting on Werneth Low, Hyde. Please visit to hear their beautiful song

[John Parker @Hydeflyer]

Met a fellow conservationist and #wernethlow activist yesterday morning. @JayneLawton I got your number but wrote it down wrong. Please DM me and we can continue our conversation.

@james_minchin You must be mad! 🥶

[John Parker @Hydeflyer]

Grasslands are essential in the fight against climate change. I’ve just asked my MP to make sure their protection is on the agenda at COP26. Join me? https://t.co/k84DZBANNf https://t.co/ORxa9PLVFi
