Great to start getting back out to the old haunts - today part the Speyside Way - Aberlour end; lots of swallows, so many bees 🐝 on the wild flowers; newly fledged dipper with adult nearby; green veined white butterfly 🦋 #Moray #Speyside

The hidden cost of the spring silage cut: 🚜💔 Intensive late-spring cutting destroys thousands of nesting birds like Skylarks.
Instead of turning a blind eye, simple changes like thermal imaging and wildlife-safe cutting patterns can save generations. 🐦

Young White-tailed Eagle 'disappears' from grouse shooting estate in North York Moors National Park.

Police think its disappearance is 'suspicious'. No shit.

Breaking: More than 700 dolphins killed in one day of Faroe Islands hunts amid equipment failures, chaotic scenes & arrest of conservation observers!

Wicked beyond belief and utterly heartbreaking
Complete blood thirsty devastation of a gentle species all in the name of tradition

@earthcurated The inventor of the car airbag got the idea from watching diving gannets - they have an air sac on their skulls to protect them when they dive head first into water when fishing

Almost 700 pilot whales & dolphins slaughtered on the Faroe Islands in three separate hunts on Wednesday. It’s time Britain ends all trade with the Faroe Islands until this barbarism ends

BREAKING NEWS:

FREE THE 15....... THE 15 HAVE BEEN FREED

Steph Spyro @StephSpyro and the @Daily_Express have saved the penguins which are currently being held captive in the basement of the London Aquarium. 👏👏👏

Huge, huge, huge achievement. Hip hip hooray.

A brilliant, brilliant example of nothing more than having a clear vision, a strategic objective coupled with the guts, the ambition and determination to deliver it. Huge round of applause.

Mighty I suggest that others, especially those within the eNGO charity sector will want to take note.

@MadeinPerth1947 Yep that’s what I was told - keep moving - but rest in between - take a flask so you have to stop for a drink and so have a week break - good advice
