@adriawildlife @MoorlandAssoc So you would just give up then? I would like to see beavers, referred bogs, deer/sheep fenced areas. Some would be lost to fire, others would prosper. Look at the effects of beavers in Spain at stopping fires spreading.

@adriawildlife @MoorlandAssoc It takes a long time to undo centuries of mismanagement and simplification of the ecosystem to produce monocultures. But every year of delay starting will mean it takes longer.

@SkokholmIsland 18.2kmh straight line speed. Shows they just keep on moving. Amazing record. Thanks and congrats to both teams involved.

@JolyonChesworth @somersetmammalg @vincentwildlife Looks good for a Polecat. Very nice.

@GreenJennyJones @peta Perhaps give some kids some school lunches with the money it saves as well.

@SomersetWT Stopped feeding the birds as it has negative impacts on some of our fastest declining species. Opted to have a more natural wild space as a garden. https://t.co/1fRapSm3tb

Very short-sighted decision. This would have been returning the site to a more natural state with massive benefits for biodiversity and helped protect against climate change. ⁦@bbcsomerset⁩ the campaigners are not environmentalists. https://t.co/2qkdgK5rAY

@The_RHS My two favourite trees: Elm and Beech

@UKHofficial @UKHospKate @BBCr4today Actually would likely increase my custom of such areas and establishments ñ.

[Rob Williams @robsrw]

@stmarys_patch Thanks for thinking of me. Unfortunately, I now have another commitment. Would have loved to go. Hope it is successful and if there is another one in the future I would be very keen.

@evornithology Binoculars at dawn! We should settle this the honourable way. I will have satisfaction!

[Rob Williams @robsrw]

@evornithology You are joking on this one.... Right? It is ginger but Marvellous Spatultail, Horned Sungem and about 200 other hummers are better than this.

[Rob Williams @robsrw]

@dunnjons @macmillancancer happy to hear your good news and wise words. Best wishes from Somerset.

All getting a bit messy on here and now that the billionaire brat who now owns it is stirring the shit, I think it is time for another Twitter break. Dropping off for a while. Be well everyone.

I am excited to share my @TEDTalks for @TEDxSantaCruz on the idea of birdwatching tourism as a way to support conservation and economic development in rural parts of tropical countries. Enjoy! (short 🧵to follow) https://t.co/3avbbZwPYA. Share widely 👀🐦‍⬛🐦
