@JaneCaro The RNIB in the UK recommends removing bird feeders, especially flat surfaces or tables, in summer to reduce the spread of avian disease. In the winter, hanging bird feeders are best and should be moved around. If you)put out water, change daily. (Guardian article in April)
BRILLIANT NEWS! 🎉 Up to 2,000 Gannet chicks SAVED from being killed in this year’s Guga hunt.
The decision has been made by NatureScot to REFUSE the application for the 2026 Guga hunt to go ahead.
'“This is not a ceasefire,” said the medical charity, also known as Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), in a statement. “It is a continuation of the genocide, calibrated to be violent enough to keep Palestinians suffering every day, yet silent enough to avoid stirring international outrage.”'
'Since October, when the Israel Defense Forces controlled about half of Gaza, the “yellow line” indicating IDF occupation has kept shifting, to push Palestinians into “an ever-shrinking area,” MSF explained. “Today, almost 2 million Palestinians are confined to approximately 30% of the strip.”'

Canada unequivocally condemns Russia’s abhorrent strikes on Ukraine last night that killed civilians and left many injured. The strikes were also an unjustifiable incursion into Polish airspace.
Ukraine’s fight is our fight. Canada will work relentlessly with our Allies until a just and lasting peace is secured for Ukraine and Europe.
The UN special rapporteur for the occupied Palestinian territories, Francesca Albanese, has reiterated her call for states to cut trade with Israel, adding that governments should have listened to those who raised the alarm earlier.

.@GovAndyBeshear: I've "now called on Mitch McConnell to verbally talk to the people of Kentucky or America; if he can supposedly talk to Scott Jennings for 17 minutes, he can talk to you for 3... If he can't do that, he needs to resign."
🚨 BREAKING:
Former French Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin:
"Gaza is the greatest scandal in history."
"Bodies are in pieces. Hearts are in pieces. Souls are in pieces. Heads are shattered."
NatureScot has completed its most in-depth scientific assessment of the Guga hunt ever, finding that the Gannet colony can no longer withstand the annual hunt.
🚨 BREAKING:
Italian Prime Minister Meloni:
"I accuse Israel of crossing the red line, I condemn the massacre of Palestinian civilians, and I announce that Italy will support European sanctions against Israel."
THIS. IS. HUGE. Nature Scot's own scientific advisors say they cannot conclude the hunt would avoid harming the internationally protected gannet colony. And they have recommended the board REFUSE the licence.
BREAKING: Israel is wiping out civilian homes in Kfar Tebnit, South Lebanon.
House after house is being blown apart in massive explosions.
If homes can be erased during a “ceasefire,” then it’s not a ceasefire.
It’s the continuation of genocide under a different label.
🚨 DISGUSTING: UN Special Rapporter Albanese reveals the US completely cut her off from the finanical system!
Anyone doing business with her faces 20 years in prison and a $1M fine.
The Trump adminstration uses financial terrorism to silence critics of the Zionist regime!
We need an alternative to the sovereignty destroying, secretive, wasteful ,warmongering AUKUS fiasco. Labor must focus on cost of living, climate change, housing, health and education. Threatening Rex Patrick with costs in order to hide plans for a nuclear waste dump stinks!
