I'm "in nature," but I am on a public footpath. Would I be more "in nature" if I strayed off this path and walked among this habitat mix of wildflower and seed? Surely, to do so would be nothing more than a selfish, human-centric act?

@TrooperSnooks Is that a 10 bore?

Job opportunity….
Calling all harvest students who’ve had their jobs cut short by good weather! The real business of harvesting potatoes is about to kick off.
Good hours, good kit, good pay…DM me for details.
Thanks

All those new homes getting built in rural areas, all those new cats living in those new houses. Yet, the depletion of songbird numbers is definitely the fault of the farmers...😐

[Charles Goadby @thisfarmlife]

In my lifetime we have seen atmospheric carbon rise by 50%

We have also seen:
World population ⬆️76%
Cars on the road ⬆️225%
Air passengers ⬆️575%

Oh, and let’s not forget…

worldwide cattle ⬇️ 5%

Let’s act on on the true cause and not what the money “tells” us to do.

@farmerbiff An interesting predicament, we have a strict no children policy on the farm for the obvious safety reasons. However I worry such blanket policies across the industry aren’t going to encourage youngsters into agriculture long term

LET'S LEARN MOOR - CALLING GROUSE

The children attending #LetsLearnMoor had an amazing opportunity to see grouse up close after a keeper called in a whole brood to just meters away. @BASCNorth's Duncan Thomas caught it on film! #LLM2021 #Nidderdale #NorthYorkMoors

In the past few days we’ve seen the Environment Agency trash a sand martin colony and a serial egg collector receive a paltry suspended sentence for stealing curlew eggs. Not a pip from Wild Jizz, Mr Aviary, Mr Pacman or Dr Block. Ah, but those General Licenses! #NotAntiShooting

Now, consider a future where social media is full of ‘nest cam’ pics from ‘keepers all over the country and the headlight-lit, 400yd gut-shot fox is a thing of the past.
