An ancient man-made ravine on the coast! 🌿✨
A clever artificial rock designed to look completely natural. This November, this hidden local treasure turns 100 years old!

Before lighting a bonfire this autumn, please take a moment to look twice and think about what might be hiding inside.
Or better yet—do you really need a bonfire at all?

Leaving branch piles as deadwood habitats in a quiet corner of the garden is great for nature.

@DickieDogfather @BenGoldsmith Wow do you really not understand basic trophic cascades?

I captured an amazing site of a kingfisher hovering today.
They can flap their wings at a rate of 8 to 15 beats per second.

@ElaineW27472898 ibuy good quality seed, the Birds won’t be discarding all the cheap bulk, which is often wheat.
Buy good quality seed then they eat it rather than discard it in order to get to the good stuff. Cheap seed is a false economy and also nothing wrong with your old rat in the garden

It’s officially time to get those bird feeders topped up again!
Following the latest seasonal advice from the RSPB, you can now resume feeding seeds and peanuts.
Just keep your feeders clean and dont feed from flat surfaces.

Heartbroken. After 4 years of campaigning to protect our beautiful coastline and countryside, the government has given the Sea Link project the green light.
Devastated for our local environment and habitats, but so proud of our community's fight.

Have you ever seen a waterfall going up? 🌊🌬️
Kinder Downfall in the Peak District on a windy day When the winds hit the plateau, they blow the falling water straight back up over the cliffs, creating this unbelievable upside-down waterfall effect.

I went to check out Monkton nature reserve and there's lots going on this October half term for the kids 😁💚

When you hike all the way up to the highest point in the Peak District you might expect a dramatic summit, but you'll only find a pile of soggy peat and a few rocks. 😅🥾

⚠️ PLEASE SHARE BEFORE BUYING HALLOWEEN DECOR ⚠️

Outdoor fake spider webs are lethal to wildlife. Birds, bees, bats, and small mammals easily get trapped and perish.

Please keep synthetic webs strictly indoors or opt for eco-friendly alternatives! 🍂

High on Bleaklow in the Peak District lies the wreckage of "Over Exposed!", a Boeing B-29 Superfortress that tragically crashed in November 1948 during a routine flight from RAF Scampton to RAF Burtonwood. All 13 crew members aboard lost their lives

Finding a WW2 plane wreck high in the Peak District… 😮✈️
Walking through the wreckage of the B-29 Superfortress on Bleaklow is an eerie and moving experience. It’s unbelievable how much remains intact after all these years.
