London, UK. save the hedgehogs

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.

Greens are ready to win the by-election in Clapham Park! Incredible response from residents who are so excited to have a Green councillor for the first time

Like many creative people my work was stolen to train AI which then took my jobs. I’m fighting back, starting a small press for human-only publishing, particularly by people 40+, Welsh, &/or neurodivergent. I need your help to begin: just £1 will help. 🙏🏼

Robert Fripp still confused about why hospital “shaved my balls” after heart attack

"The man shaving my balls didn’t tell me," he said, while sharing an update on his health https://t.co/CdLNPIhOdS

[MJ: @markjohnson]

How am I just finding out now that Fripp is married to Wilcox?

Surgeon: yeah just a simple bypass op

Wilcox: shave his balls

Surgeon: straightforward op really

Wilcox: SHAVE HIS BALLS!!

@daisyeastlake Labour: The entire Green Party is antisemitic (in the same way every progressive Lab politician was). We've forbidden Lab councillors from going into coalition with them.

Also Labour: Please can you stand down from contesting the seat we just wilfully vacated.

Fantastic to see this @nerve_news investigation trending.

The crypto millions fuelling Britain’s far-right turn (the exact same playbook as Trump) requires much, much more scrutiny.

@constans More veg buddy, dice a courgette (sorry, zuchini) and add that. also, cook the chicken first then set-aside, then add back in once all else done. boom! also, yes that is waaaay too much soy. I have a stock cube on hand to dilute in boiling water to make a poor man 'broth'

It is mid-May. The hedge looks like it has got completely out of hand. The hedge trimmer is in the shed, ready, and the urge to sort it out is entirely understandable. 🌿

It is also the worst possible time of year to do it.

Under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, it is a criminal offence to intentionally damage or destroy the nest of any wild bird while that nest is in use or being built. Every species of garden bird is covered without exception. This is not guidance — it is law.

And May is not a neutral point in the nesting calendar. It is the peak.

Active nests in a typical garden hedge right now:

Blackbird (Turdus merula) — the first brood may have only just fledged, and the pair will have begun their second clutch in the same hedge, often in the same fork. Up to three broods are possible before late July.

Wren (Troglodytes troglodytes) — its domed moss nest sits at the base of the hedge in dense cover. First-brood chicks may still be in the nest or have only just left. A second nest may already be under construction in the same section.

Blackcap (Sylvia atricapilla) — arrived from migration in April and will have laid immediately. In May its eggs are incubating or its first chicks are in the nest at one to two metres height — exactly where a trimmer blade runs first.

Robin (Erithacus rubecula) — nests within 50 cm of the ground in the densest cover. A second brood is often underway in May. The nest is found almost exclusively by destroying it.

Dunnock (Prunella modularis) — two broods between April and July, moss nest in low scrub. Its turquoise-blue eggs are among the most beautiful and least visible in a garden hedge.

May is the moment when the hedge looks most in need of cutting — and the moment when active nest density is highest across the entire year.

The only remaining clear window is August. The hedge held through winter; it will hold through summer. 🐦
