Hi @EdwardMorelloWD, you have a golden opportunity to make history and deliver the bold, science-led legislation we need to tackle the climate-nature crisis. Will you pledge to join the second reading of the #CANBill on Friday 24 January?

@Mistyswoman At this point in my life I'm forced to get up several times in the night but I always go back to bed again until at least 6. Breakfast before 7 and then elevenses and 2nd coffee at about 10.

One teaspoon of the neonicotinoids pesticide could kill 1.25 billion bees. And yet the Government could be about to let it back on English fields. Sign the petition: tell Ministers to keep this ban on bee-killing pesticides in place. https://t.co/ssxU55lAIX

@lizardschwartz You can't be too careful with Woodpigeon, break your arm with their wings...

[Michael Lewis 💙 🌱 🌻 @mikeplayschess]

@SkiptomyLoulou I guarantee that's harder than it looks!

[Michael Lewis 💙 🌱 🌻 @mikeplayschess]

@_JoelAshton Brilliant!

@lovely_plot ...and you can always heap a couple of spoonfuls onto a plate with some crusty bread and freeze the rest!

@Greenwings That is one butterfly I would love to see.

@martinswarren @BC_Dorset @savebutterflies I've had just two in my garden in Dorchester, one in early March and a second last week. Only a handful seen on all of the transects I walk across Dorset, it's very depressing.

Finally, a Brown Argus in the garden! I was starting to think I wasn't going to get one this year. 23rd species of the year, matching last year's total - still time for a Clouded Yellow to pass through... @savebutterflies @BC_Dorset

@sustainablist1 @LoveGrowingVeg @NoFarmsNoFoods No recipe necessary from me, I like them boiled, skinned and sliced, cold in salads.

@ilovemypets56 @JoCS64 It does affect them, I'm hoping that's all it is.

@Dalbodog Weirdo. I always make the effort to talk to them.

[Michael Lewis 💙 🌱 🌻 @mikeplayschess]

@gailcarriger Coffee time?

[Michael Lewis 💙 🌱 🌻 @mikeplayschess]

@ilovemypets56 @JoCS64 The same with butterflies, numbers well down on last year.

[Michael Lewis 💙 🌱 🌻 @mikeplayschess]

@CilComLFC Starmer would not do that.
