@guffsafc73 @OctopusEnergy If you read appropriate sections of website/app in your accounts, I've only ever seen what they advise, but they never change unless you tell them to.
Prices change every 3 months so forecasts of cost will change regularly.

@TheQuietSoul13 You're getting 'the look!' Tim. 😧

[Les Ditchburn @Lesditch]

Please everyone, think seriously about this 🙏

[Mary Colwell @curlewcalls]

Posting this again as it is nesting time. Dogs on leads near breeding areas - PLEASE 🙏🙏

[Les Ditchburn @Lesditch]

@duncan_dine @TomMabbett @WWTSlimbridge @lostintewkesbur So why does Hully keep telling everyone I'm his dad ? 🤔🤣

[Les Ditchburn @Lesditch]

@ProjectStork hi everyone, just a white Stork over Coombe Hill Meadows nature reserve (Cheltenham/Tewkesbury area).
Do you know if any of your birds are touring Glos/worcs today please.

[Les Ditchburn @Lesditch]

@OctopusEnergy @worisu8 But surely from April prices dropped because those government policy levies & charges were removed to be paid for general taxation. Actual wholesale energy costs have risen so why downgrade export payments?

@duncan_dine I bet you remember them putting that there Duncan 🤔🤣

@GlosterBirder That Grey Wag is stunning 👍

@PinkyClarky @OctopusEnergy 70 years since my school english grammar lessons but starting a sentence with "And" which I believe is a preposition is wrong. 🤔 😉 😄

9 days ago #NetworkRail agreed to removing the mortar to unblock the swifts nesting sites. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE YET meanwhile swifts are returning home earlier than normal. 📧email CEO Jeremy Westlake asking him to unblock them: [email protected] #SaveOurSwifts

[Les Ditchburn @Lesditch]

@GlosterBirder @GarryBagnell Yes, can be misleading, but I've found when there is a lot of near & far bird sounds, it can hear all & because it's a digital thing, it can differentiate whilst we can't. I've thought, "well that's obviously wrong". Continuing walk, found that bird myself, proving app right. 🤔

[Hannah Bourne-Taylor @WriterHannahBT]

Please help get this message to CEO of @networkrail Jeremy Westlake. Email him asking him to unblock the swift nesting sites in the chapel Milton viaduct, Derbyshire. His email is [email protected] @deborahpitman has been asking for ages but she’s been ignored

[Carl Bovis @CarlBovisNature]

Hey @networkrail, there's a huge movement to protect and create nest sites for Swifts, a threatened red listed summer visiting bird, and this is what you do?
You're an absolute disgrace! 😡
Sort it out!

[Mike King🦉🐺 @GlosterBirder]

Dear @EnvAgency can you please tell me why you think it necessary to send your people to strim the banks of Hock Ditch, Saul, Glos today in spring where birds are already nesting and wild flowers are just starting to bloom. 🤬#GlosBirds

[Les Ditchburn @Lesditch]

@duncan_dine I spent 5 hours up there yesterday morning looking for Rouzels & Wheatear, but nowt 🥴.
Where abouts were your Wheatears ?
