If I ever doubted where my passion for speaking up for nature came from.. I was beautifully reminded today. The wall art at my old primary school in the heart of Brighton, blasting out messages about the threat 2 the world's Orangutans was epic to see Go4it! #middlestreetschool
@RSPBEngland If you haven't already everyone, put some Swift boxes up! I've had such an amazing day watching swifts choose to move into the boxes I've put up. Two have gone in, I can hear their excited calls coming from inside, and 5 others are circling my roof. #SwiftAwarenessWeek
@WriterHannahBT Well, Hannah just maybe. I'm feeling quite overcome really. After 5 years waiting my swift box has just received two swifts and I'm sitting in my front garden listening to them and watching 6 friends skim by overhead! Very proud!!!
This #SwiftAwarenessWeek I actually have four swifts starting to explore around the boxes I put up five years ago! These red listed speedsters need perseverance from us folks. We lost around 100,000 breeding pairs since 1995. What can you do to help?
@PlushieTumRs ,its fine to unplug that batphone and put yourself first sometimes, Annabelle. You're still a hero, you don't need to prove it every night.
@SmrsetOutdoorNT Hi @SmrseOutdoorNT are you confident the conditions for Large Blue will be equally good this summer? I've been a little surprised to see the cattle still grazing the slopes in June. They don't seem to have been brought back to the holding area at the top as usual.
I'm delighted the Horticultural Peat (Prohibition of Sale) Bill I brought before Parliament today has passed, and moves on to its Second Reading in January. It's crucial we protect our precious peatlands from further damage, and today's success is a step in the right direction.
Didn't dare wish for a late season Osprey today, but our walk across Coombe Heath, RSPB Arne was suddenly blessed when this juvenile flew right overhead @RSPBDorset@harbourospreys..I remember when we didn't even have buzzards along this coast, nature can bounce back beautifully
It's been two years since the previous UK government said it would ban the sale of retail peat!
We're calling on @GOVUK to take action to protect our peatlands and deliver where the last government didnβt.
