Anyone who feels uncomfortable about the St George's Flags should, perhaps, consider their own unwillingness to embrace England's flag and culture and the division that causes.

They are also free to go somewhere that makes them comfortable, somewhere to fit their cultural needs, without trying to impose them on other societies

Gannets are fighting for their future. Disease, pollution, climate change and food shortages are already pushing seabirds to the brink. The last thing they need is to be persecuted by human hunters. The Guga hunt has to end.

@sferguk Have you tried foam pipe lagging and a couple of cable ties, works a treat👍

We have a once in a generation chance to finally end fox hunting for good. See comments.

So many lives are lost in bird netting. If you see it, report it.

Hey @TicesMeadow I hope you got a plan brewing to get these Canada Goose goslings off that Tern rift please. If not it's a pretty horrible way to go, starving to death in plain sight. I wouldn't wanna sit there and watch that happen. 🙏

NatureScot gives licences for the Guga hunt, allowing 10 men to bludgeon Gannet chicks to death for a local delicacy - how on earth is this in alignment with their duty to act in the public interest?

[Ben Goldsmith @BenGoldsmith]

Three or four centuries to grow. Ten minutes to destroy.

There is a concerted, bottom-up and top-down war on nature being waged across the world.

You get to choose which side you are on.

The best thing you can do is join a nature organisation today.

The reason I’ve posted this again isn’t to vilify dogs, which can be wonderful companions. It is to ask dog owners to be aware and kind in this very sensitive season. Ground nesting birds need all the help we can give them, and this is a concrete example of small actions have big consequences. Thank you for caring and keeping dogs under control.

What gives the United States and their president the right to decide who does what in this world. It doesn't matter how hard you work or how much you save some rich arsehole megalomaniac thinks its there God given right to ruin your life from afar.
Donald Trump is a prick.

The Cul-de-Sac That Used to Be Her Home.
A female badger stands at the edge of a fresh tarmac driveway in the April twilight, her paws caked in the clay of a leveled hillside.

"I have raised six generations in the dark earth beneath this spot," she grunts, her scent-marking glands working fruitlessly against a concrete kerb. "I know the exact root where the bluebells first break and the slope where the oak mast falls. Now, there is only a fence where my front door used to be. I am not lost—the world is."

We often assume that wildlife can simply "move next door" when we build new housing estates, viewing animals as flexible commuters.

In reality, badgers are deeply site-faithful. A social group may use the same sett for over a century. Right now in mid-April, sows are weaning cubs and require immense caloric intake. When a development goes up in months, it destroys 15 years of topographical memory. Displacement leads to "road-kill" spikes as confused animals attempt to navigate old paths that are now motorways.

Practical Actions:

Support Wildlife Corridors: Advocate for "badger gates" in new housing fences to allow ancestral passage.

Report Sett Damage: If you see active digging near construction, ensure a license is in place.

She isn't a "nuisance" in your garden; she is a refugee standing in her own living room.

@Hoseasons my wife and I are going to Caister in May and my daughter and her boyfriend might meet us there. Is it OK for them to stay overnight. The property sleeps 4.

What looks like a dream vacation hides a cruel nightmare. 🐘💔
In Thailand, elephants are chained, beaten with metal hooks, starved, and tortured until their spirits are broken—all so tourists can take photos and enjoy rides. ⛓️😢 Torn from their mothers as babies, many endure months of brutal “training” inside crushing cages, and nearly half don’t survive. Those who do live in pain, fear, and exhaustion, forced to perform for human amusement. 🌧️ The calm you see is not happiness—it’s surrender. 🙏 By refusing elephant rides and shows, we can stop funding cruelty and choose compassion instead. These intelligent, emotional beings deserve freedom, dignity, and lives without chains. 🕊️💚
