Variety is the spice; birds, moths, rewilding, cricket, rugger, big walks. Project Manager @NTKillerton landscape nature recovery but views here all my own

@NatTrustArch @nationaltrust A pleasure to work alongside you briefly Martin. Enjoy your beloved downs, you deserve it 👏

@NorfolkWT @Natures_Voice @CleyBirds looking for some advice on best location for post breeding flocks of stone-curlew. I was heading for Cavenham Heath but uncertain the birds are still there. Appreciate some guidance after @NaturalEngland ignored my email sent 2 wks ago

@NENorfolkSufflk Had a wonderful boat tour with @NorfolkWT last night and rewarded with the sight of two cranes going to roost as dusk descended

2 juvenile Black terns @GrafhamWaterSC on the buoys in front of Mander Park

Ploughing in the floodplain of the River Exe. No wonder this beautiful oak didn’t survive. No wonder biodiversity is in crisis. Did this farmer apply for permission at @NaturalEngland #EIAregulations

@bbctms thinking about batting milestones, has anyone reviewed the impact of DRS? It would perhaps make comparison with the greats of 20th century fairer? Simon, Exeter

[Carla Denyer @carla_denyer]

WE DID IT!

Bristol, we made history💚

Thank you so much to the people of Bristol Central who have elected me as their MP

As this city's first Green MP, I promise to be a strong, independent voice for Bristol's values, pushing the govt to be bolder on the issues that matter

[Dr Ellie Chowns MP @EllieChowns]

Thank you to everyone who voted Green in North Herefordshire, and to everyone who worked so hard to make history here.

I can't wait to get started as your new MP 💚

[Patrick Barkham @patrick_barkham]

As most of the media bangs on about Farage and Reform, the Green Party have won as many seats – all 4 of the seats they targeted. Two were big river seats – people on the River Waveney and River Wye want clean rivers! https://t.co/wUPytZF4nu

@HenryGentGreen Carla Denyer reckons @TheGreenParty polled 1.9 million votes nationally 💚👌

At our recent workshop, "What next for East Exeter" we started by marking up a map with routes we found good (green), bad (red) or almost impossible (black). Junctions that caused concern are in red.

After a couple of weeks in which it seems that all the butterflies had disappeared, today it looks like there’s been an emergence of Red Admiral @NTKillerton in the hedges. Also Marbled White doing well where grazing has been relaxed in the parkland and flowery fringes @BCDevon

[Liz Bonnin 💙 @lizbonnin]

Today all sectors of society and community came together to stand up for nature like never before. And it was powerful. We can be the leaders we’re looking for and the change our planet needs.

Fantastic energy at the #RestoreNatureNow march in London! Tens of thousands gathered to demand urgent action: a shift to nature-friendly farming; making polluters pay for their damage; fast, fair & effective climate action & a new right in law to a healthy environment 🦋🦋🦋
