Spent the morning at @FSCFlatfordMill doing a #BioBlitz cataloguing Plants, Moths and Butterflies with @charlottelrs There's lots of other things going on too including Pond Dipping. #365DaysWild @EssexWildlife

@Lepimann Grass vetchling!

[David Neal @ozric42]

Spent a gorgeous afternoon wandering around Wrabness Reserve with @charlottelrs It was a bit quiet at first but we were treated to a close view of a Nightingale hiding in a tree, a couple of Turtle Doves hiding behind blossom, and a Yellowhammer sitting proudly 😊 #365DaysWild

Mass mortalities washing up on beaches, lobsters and crabs dying in pots, lobster and crab eggs dissolving. Fair to say it’s been a concerning year along the Northeast coast. TODAY universities release their research findings, a thread 🧵1/8

[The Wildlife Trusts @WildlifeTrusts]

Make no mistake - we are also incredibly angry. We stand with @RSPBEngland in calling out the unprecedented attack on nature launched by UK Government over the last few days. We’ll be challenging this together and asking for our supporters to stand with us.

“It was a reverse Robin Hood: taking from those who have least, lavishing gifts on those who have most. It is morally indefensible, economically reckless and so politically risky as to suggest a death wish.”

Pakistan 🇵🇰 flood disaster

National emergency declared. Some officials are comparing monsoonal rains this year to 2010 - the worst flood year on record where nearly 20% of the country became submerged. This is impacting over 30,000,000 people right now.

Chancellor Nadhim Zahawi has said the public should cut back on their energy use.

Remember this is the same Nadhim Zahawi who claimed £6,000 a year from the taxpayer to pay for the electricity to run the stables at his £1 million 2nd home, the highest energy claim in Parliament.

The continual dumping of sewage into our rivers & seas is a national scandal – I'm contacting @SouthernWater *again* to demand they explain their actions. But the bottom line is our privatised water system has utterly failed – water networks MUST be brought back into public hands

[Pete Cooper @PeteMRCooper]

The promises of ecological restoration by the tories turning out to be nothing but sweet fictions - what a surprise. The last minute U-turn yesterday was just despicable.

[Caroline Lucas @CarolineLucas]

Meeting at Downing St this weekend to discuss how to address extreme heatwave while still committed to new fossil fuel extraction is like discussing how to put out a fire while pouring fuel on the flames - for pity’s sake, connect!

I first started working on the EU nature directives in 1993, when I joined Plantlife. Back then the Tory Govt wanted to implement the Habitats Directive in as minimal a way as possible, arguing that the UK was already well ahead of the rest of the EU on protecting nature. 1/10

We at #WildEssex were pleased today to help at the #ManningtreeEarthFestival, leading a series of short wildlife walks along the Stour Estuary. Meet one of the stars of the show, Elm Zigzag Sawfly, an arrival in in these parts just a couple of years ago. Who needs Glastonbury?!
