Today an ash tree over a hundred years old is being destroyed up my street -why are we still allowing these people to make a living cutting down healthy none dangerous mature trees ?? They need a blanket protection country wide - it make you weep @WoodlandTrust
Today seems like a good day to share this amazing graphic of UK land use
(I estimate solar farms cover less than one tenth of one percent of the UK – 0.08%)

As it's Friday, I'm asking all my followers to please retweet (and comment) on this post if you see it, to help my bird account be seen! 🙏😊
To make it worth sharing, here's a Barn Owl hunting over reedbeds. 🦉
Thank you very much!🙏😊♥️
‘Twas the night before voting, when all through the nation
People looked up the details of their polling station.
Fibs had been told by politicians desperate for votes
About taxes and housing and those on small boats
While across the UK there was much corruption chatter
With Conservative candidates keen to sidestep the matter
Knocking on doors, they found the public most vocal
They begged: “Please support us; we’re not Tories, we’re local!”
With Lib Dem Ed Davey having the time of his life
And Farage returning to cause Tory strife
They left Keir's Labour troops well placed for success
All set for five years to clean up the mess
Campaigning all done, the teams gave a whistle,
Raced back to London at the speed of a missile
But I heard them exclaim, as they got on their bus
“HAPPY ELECTIONS TO ALL, AND PLEASE VOTE FOR US!”
@BSBIbotany@LinneanSociety So delighted. That building means so much. Full of history. irreplaceable. Never forgotten giving a talk there in the lecture theatre, when the giants of biology have stood.
