I love taking photos (mainly nature - esp. birds, flowers & sunsets) & I'm a bookworm (print/digital & audiobooks) that loves escaping reality. That's me!

@CarlBovisNature Is it (he/she) on a pogostick?!

This is what entitlement looks like! 🤬
There are nesting waterbirds on this pond on Hampstead Heath... there are also big 'No Swimming' signs, all being totally ignored! 🤬
Pure selfishness... 😒🤬🤬

Any idea why this is @bbcPoV @ChrisGPackham

[Nature photographer & professional dawdler Isla @RandomDawdler]

Really surprised there's no TV ads for this. Lots for dramas/comedies, 1 or 2 for nature docs but what about our home grown Spring/Winter Watch shows? started watching it last year. Sad it took me so long to watch it properly! Recommended for nature fans-BBC2 8pm Mon-Thurs👏👍

Springwatch is back! only found out after wondering why there's so many posts by the BBC Springwatch account in recent days? turns out new series starts tomorrow. I love this show! great for de-stressing after work. Why doesn't @BBC advertise this on TV? ppl might miss it @BBCTwo

@CarlBovisNature I have, yes! what a beautiful shot. This is the best I managed, watching them swoop high/low at a loch. Hardly comparable but yes its nigh on impossible to get a shot in frame they move so fast! this was with my 30x optical zoom. You can just about see 2 near the top of the reeds

[Nature photographer & professional dawdler Isla @RandomDawdler]

@CarlBovisNature but there again, too few to mention? 🤔😏

Repost if you think the BBC openly promotes and protects Farage and Reform UK!

[Carl Bovis @CarlBovisNature]

Retweet when you see it!

[Marina Purkiss @MarinaPurkiss]

Angela Rayner was dragged through every front page for weeks...

HMRC's verdict: NOT deliberate. NOT even careless.

Farage pockets £5 million and chooses not to declare it

So where's the wall-to-wall coverage?

Tell me this isn't a rigged game.

Happy Birthday Carl's mum! 🥳

Very important thread! 🙏
When Swifts ground, they're in danger. They can't get airborne again without help... please read the quoted thread for advice on what to do if you find a grounded Swift, please retweet it & bookmark it too! 🙏🐦❤️

I am sick and tired of people mocking those who care about the planet. Clean air matters. Living forests matter. Healthy oceans matter. Animals matter. Biodiversity matters. Wanting a livable world for future generations should not be controversial.

If you see this photo, please leave a comment! 😀
This is a male Blackbird singing one evening outside my Somerset home, silhouetted by a full moon. 😍
Are you hearing singing Blackbirds where you are?😊🐦

Dear Reform-voting men…

Do you know you’re voting for a party that wants to:

❌ Hand massive tax cuts to the rich, lifting thresholds, slashing corporation tax to 15%, and raising inheritance tax to £2m, while working families get the crumbs

❌ Create a £250k “Britannia Card” golden visa for wealthy foreigners to dodge UK taxes on overseas income and inheritance

❌Weaken workers’ rights by rolling back day-one sick pay, zero-hours protections, and making it easier for bosses to exploit staff

❌Push deregulation and private healthcare handouts that let the wealthy jump NHS queues while ordinary families face longer waits and higher costs

❌Deliver trickle-down economics dressed up as patriotism - big wins for the top, squeezed services and bills for the grafters

Do you hate immigrants more than you love your family’s security and a fair deal for working people?

[Marina Purkiss @MarinaPurkiss]

Dear Reform-voting ladies…

Do you know you’re voting for a party that wants to:

❌ Scrap the Equality Act - your legal protection against workplace discrimination & unequal pay

❌ Kill the Online Safety Act - the law protecting you from revenge porn

❌ Vote AGAINST the bill to stop workplace sexual harassment

❌ Stack the party with anti-abortion politicians - some opposing termination even in cases of rape

❌ Push “pro-family” policies that put women back in the home

I guess the question is…

Do you hate immigrants more than you love your rights?
