@GTAlstonWader @RSPBAireValley Went down to listen one night last week, but at the moment I'm too busy being kept awake by corncrakes.

The kind of front page historians may one day analyse in disbelief. Scientists have run out of words to tell us how serious an emergency this is. And still both main parties bury their heads in the sand

Let this sink in: EACH MONTH since June 2023 was the planet's HOTTEST.

This April was the hottest ON RECORD, and the 11th CONSECUTIVE month breaking HEAT records.

The world is BOILING. How many more records need to be broken for world leaders to take MEANINGFUL CLIMATE ACTION?

If this government won't back such a simple measure to save a critically endangered species, then what hope have we got?

What are you playing at @michaelgove ??? @AngelaRayner will your party make this simple pledge to save swifts if/when you come into power?

[Hannah Bourne-Taylor @birdshannah]

Over fifty thousand people have seen this tweet @michaelgove Call me crazy but I’m still holding out for you. You were such a good Environment Secretary. You agreed to meet @ZacGoldsmith and me. I don’t want to believe you don’t care and won’t do it…..

[Zac Goldsmith @ZacGoldsmith]

The Govt’s behaviour in relation to swifts has been distressing on numerous levels.
The tiniest measure, one supported across the board - incl by the industry itself- could make the difference between survival and the disappearance of this iconic bird species in the UK.
Michael Gove began the convo full of enthusiasm. He set @WriterHannahBT and me a challenge (to get the industry onside). We (or in reality she) did. And then Michael went silent and has refused to engage in any way since.
I have cheerleaded for Michael for years as I felt he deserved much more praise as Environment Secretary than he received. But there isn’t a generous interpretation for his behaviour on this issue. He is a friend and it pains me to say it, but he has simply not been straight. So now the future of this iconic species rests in one man’s hands. His hands. And I fear he is willing to let them go. It is unforgivable.
After all his work, will this sordid chapter be his legacy? I sincerely hope not but the signs are not good.

But seriously , what has nature ever done for us ? You know , apart from the air we breathe , the food we eat , making us healthier . . .

Saw my first swifts of the year today. @michaelgove why won't you agree to simple legislation to help these magical yet critically threatened birds?

[Hannah Bourne-Taylor @birdshannah]

SWIFTS ARE ARRIVING HOME!
Celebrate your first swift sighting by posting on here and tagging me & Michael Gove - if he knows how many of us are DELIGHTED by their return, maybe he will act & greenlight the ready-and-waiting proposal to secure their essential nesting habitat!

Next month I'm cycling 240 miles from Huddersfield to Ipswich to raise money for Huddersfield Town Foundation Breakfast Clubs, feeding kids who otherwise don't get the right start to the day. We're halfway to our target of £20k. Please help if you can.

Decent hour on local patch this evening. Singing lesser whitethroat then white stork went over! Not bad for a bit of scrub on the edge of Wakefield.
