#CovidEnquiry Recommendation on better data collection, sharing in advance, commissioning of research. Great not easy with GDPR, slow ethics approval, lack of surveillance funding. @BPSU led on CYP COVID monitoring now needs funds and support. 🙆

@aljhlester Good to have some balanced debate about this. Have you included the Ottoman Empire’s Devshirme system in the Balkans which took a levy of Christian boys, raised them in Islam and relied on them as loyal Janissary soldiers? Some were castrated and served in court.

@fotofacade The Britons Arms restaurant is thought to have been a rare English example of a Beguinage, more commonly found in the Netherlands and Belgium. Bruges, Kortrijk, Breda, Leuven, Amsterdam, etc.

@johnghughes3 Thanks. Good to see they will be used again. They looked pretty neglected on the Google Earth view.

@katemacrae I saw similar behaviour by wheatears on St Kilda 4 July 2023. Sorry, no photos.

@GraemeCallister @EHChalus Conscripts in barracks will expect weekend home leave - and transport. When I hitchhiked in Europe in the 1960s there were so many in uniform (they always got lifts first) and railway stations were full of conscripts. Expensive.

[Clean Up Britain @cleanupbritain]

📢📢📢 TO ALL THE POLITICAL PARTIES...
We need a serious conversation about environmental crime in Britain. Our country is being desecrated and hugely polluted. Tough action, NOT WORDS is required. On-the-spot fines should be increased from £1,000 to £10,000.

[Peter Corry @pccorry]

@purm I’m sorry, but I was 4 weeks earlier than you this year. I saw 10 on Sunday 21 April, including this friendly couple! I wouldn’t have gone so early, but I think the Butterfly Recorder for @wns_nats Nyree Fearnley reported seeing them there a few days earlier.

[Anna Keay @AnnaLandmark]

Sorry, no photo but I saw a young male roe deer today in downtown Leeds (Cross Green, 100 yards from dual carriageway A63). Was surprised to see one in such a built up area. Urban corridors? @YorksWildlife @BradfordNature @WoodlandTrust

[Peter Corry @pccorry]

@stuartpengs Maybe you need more buildings! 😂 Only today I was surprised to see a young male roe deer about 100 yards from a dual carriageway in downtown Leeds. In a small meadow surrounded by bushes/trees with some green access, but would have to cross roads + rail lines.

[Peter Corry @pccorry]

@AbilitiesB @bradford4better I’m fine thanks but feeling older. But it’s still great to hear good news from Bradford.
