GREAT YELLOW BUMBLEBEES! 😭🐝

It has been a dream for so long to see this beautiful bumble!

Seeing queens happily buzzing away in glorious machair, feasting on Kidney Vetch, with baskets full of pollen has filled my heart with so much joy 💛

@WaterWaysProtct Honestly it’s so disappointing. They are supposed to be fair. Look at other marches reported on… why is this ignored?

[Dr Jill Belch @JillBelch]

I have complained to the BBC, please join me, and will take it to OFCOM. BBC did the same by ignoring the 40,000 people at the climate weekend a couple of years ago, yet they reported on a march of about 100 people demonstrating against ULEZ

Just spent an amazing few days @KneppWilding and saw very little in the way of inverts either in number of diversity despite abundant habitat. Really weird to see sunny hogweed flowers absolutely devoid of insect life.

[Paul Whitfield @FoxWhitfield]

Up to 100,000 peacefully marched through London for nature and I don’t see it on the mainstream media.
If one person had committed a crime, defaced a building or punched a police officer it would be everywhere.

And people wonder why activists resort to stunts and vandalism.

[Jack Wallington @jackwallington]

Pretty much every nature organisation, 350 of them, tens of thousands of scientists, conservationists and growers march through London to tell the UK the manifestos are woefully inadequate to protect nature and us. Unprecedented. @BBCNews … nothing 👀

[Mariko Whyte @MarikoWhyte]

Proud to have been marching in London today adding my voice to the nearly 100,000 people who were calling on this and future governments to #RestoreNatureNow @DorsetWildlife @WildlifeTrusts @RNNMarch

[Mariko Whyte @MarikoWhyte]

On the way into London to join with colleagues @DorsetWildlife and @WildlifeTrusts #restorenaturenow

[Restore Nature Now @RNNMarch]

Why not take next weekend off from documenting species declines, observing ecosystem destruction & researching conservation approaches that are not implemented?

And instead take part in our biggest ever march for nature - demanding effective action now
