Shocking Guardian article: Humans have made 8.3bn tons of plastic since 1950. This is the illustrated story of where it's gone https://t.co/WcftgmZf1r #plasticpollution #plasticwaste #WarOnPlastic #OurPlasticFeedback

We have some news....🐣🦅
Two #WhiteTailedEagle chicks have fledged from a nest in England, only the 2nd time they have bred here for 240 years.
The chicks are the offspring of white-tailed eagles released by the @ForestryEngland @RoyDennisWF in 2020.

A short aerial video of the historic and picturesque coastal village of Bosham in West Sussex which we visited in early September.

Spotted my first #stagbeetle of the year tonight, a splendid male hovering low in Ealing's Lammas Park clearly looking for a female. Didn't have my phone on me so sadly no photos.

SCPHA welcomed the Chief Executive Officer and other high-profile representatives of @foodgov to show how import controls are carried out on food and animal-related goods at Britain's busiest container port.

Thanks for such an informative visit. I've been wanting to visit Felixstowe ever since working on Brexit at Defra. Import controls are such a key part of of ensuring the UK has food we can trust, and Port Health Authorities' work is essential. You gave us a lovely welcome!

[John Furzer @JFurzer]

Britain's wildlife is in trouble. Over half our species are declining and many face extinction. We need #WilderNationalParks that can lead the way in tackling the nature and climate crises. Sign @RewildingB’s petition for urgent government action. https://t.co/PK4JVZFwdq

Anyone looking at the prices of Corn and Grains?! Wow 🤯

Scarcity of food could be next…

Plans by Ealing Council and Junction 2 Music Festival to host a music festival on environmentally sensitive Horsenden Meadows are wholly inappropriate and will destroy rare and vulnerable wildlife and habitat. Please sign the Petition! https://t.co/S2qaIAi0Er via @UKChange

Great little segment on ITV about the change to ingredients labelling coming in on 1 October, known as Natasha’s Law. 2/2. In this one I comment on why it’s important.

[John Furzer @JFurzer]

I was watching a young #fox on our lawn at the weekend when a #magpie started mobbing it. I took some video footage on my phone (see link below). There's an amazing moment when the magpie actually gets right up to the fox and gives it a peck!

Hot on the heals of news that the Amazon rainforest now emits more CO2 than it absorbs, comes another climate change tipping point with warning signs of the collapse of the Gulf Stream. https://t.co/r89hwmjJaT

@OldLondonW14 Rathgar Avenue W13, Ealing. 100 yrs ago it may still have been part of Somerset Road. You posted an image previously of the north end of Somerset Road, but I'm interested in the other end where there was a very large Victorian house called Goodrest. It's now a block of flats.

My YouTube footage of 3 #fox #cubs from the resident family that live at the end of my garden playing on the lawn this evening with a piece of clothing!

These cheeky cubs are clearly having such fun! 🦊

Killing for fun . Animals dying in agony . Are we in the 21st Century ? This is despicable .
