Reading this article about the importance of trees and woodland and their role in alleviating flooding you would think it was from a recent source, considering the relevance it has, but it is from The Aberystwyth Observer, 24th May 1879 - 143 years ago!

Short video from 2001 to 2022 from one of the first sites I worked on, to plant an area of broadleaf floodplain woodland to help slow down and store flood waters on the River Parrett, Somerset.

@DXdelivery I have sent another complaint about the same driver in the Llandovery area today. This time almost forcing me off my bicycle when it was my right of way, and shouting aggressively at me while he drove passed. This shouldn't be tolerated and is a police matter in theory

@WahooSYSTM Not a great start to the all new App. Tried using it today only to be met with Video Errors on all content. Tried Android App as well as laptop on Windows 10 🙄

@HarboroughWood1 Hi, thanks for the message, I don't use Twitter much at the moment but just seen this. I will have a look at your Facebook page, thanks

[Huw Thomas @MTBHuw]

Thanks duck. Load testing our freshly laid concrete slab. Much appreciated 🤦‍♂️#diywithducks

We are living with extremes at the moment. Less than 2 months ago I posted the @metoffice image showing rainfall totals in excess of 350% the average in places. Now, half way through April the map shows 20% the average rainfall for much of the UK #weather #rainfall #metoffice

Can anyone tell me what this shrub is please? Ta 🙂

[Huw Thomas @MTBHuw]

@catrinphysio They die unfortunately. The sting has a barb on it so when they sting and fly away, it gets pulled away from their bodies. When you get stung you can see the venom sack attached to the stinger. It carries on pumping venom even without the bee attached.

#honeybees are merciless when they need to be. I missed the bit where 4 or 5 of them attacked, stung and killed this wasp (judging by her size, I think it's a queen wasp). I did capture them dragging it out of the hive though. Brutal. #beekeeper #beekeeping

Happy #InternationalBeaverDay too :)

Some wildlife therapy for you today. Sit back, relax, and enjoy watching the beavers (2 adults and their 2 kits) from the reintroduction site I was working on in Cropton Forest, N Yorkshire, a few weeks ago #beavers #beaverreintroduction #naturalfloodmanagement #nfm

[Huw Thomas @MTBHuw]

Not only do #beavers build dams and help control the flow of water and #flooding, they increase the #biodiversity in the area, and help the other local wildlife. Some more camera trap footage of the #beaver enclosure at Cropton Forest, N Yorkshire #nfm #naturalfloodmanagement
