@herdyshepherd1 More value needs to get to the farmer; consumers must afford that value. Who needs to lose to make this happen? Supermarkets, their shareholders and the wider rentier class. The closer you look, the more you realise that capitalism is consuming all the good in the world

@tom_m_brereton Great photo; amazing numbers of birds

@NorthPennChief Option 1: follow this advice and engage with the world like a massive wanker
Option 2: be less wanker

I can see it's a tough choice

@guyshrubsole @CarolineVoaden Some big changes across the National Landscapes, too. Look at the area between New Forest and Dartmoor, for instance, which was previously all blue.

Fancy a "Swift pint"? 🍺For #BridportSwiftTown we are looking for 'Swift Guardians' to take part in co-ordinated counts from pubs & other locations across the Bridport area, to estimate the size of the Swift population. Come to the Tiger Inn @ 18:30 this Thursday & find out more

@MilesKing10 It's possibly higher than the £2.4bn this FY because they managed to bring forward underspend from previous years. Averaged over the last 3 years I think it's meant to be £2.4 to £2.6

@AlexHeffron20 It's another argument for the programme Farming in Protected Landscapes #FIPL. While I accept that farmers are still bankrolling projects, PLs operating FIPL can make staged payments as soon after defrayal as possible where necessary.

@PeterMo03067857 @southwestnature @harbourbirds @DorsetBirdClub Stunning numbers!
A half dozen St George's day swifts followed by a Wareham osprey were my highlights of the week
