The more I learn about nature, the more I find there is to learn. Love trees, gardens, bees, psychology and education. Hate traffic, litter, intolerance.

9th October 2024: Ospreys continuing their stay at Thorpeness, Suffolk, two birds still present including this one successfully catching a large fish this afternoon (a Rudd, I think!)

Regarding the recent application by @NFUtweets to allow 'emergency' use of neonics on sugar beet, this image explains the problem: most of the pesticide goes into soils, leaches into waterways, & is taken up by wildflowers & hedgerows. Only 5% in crop.

I am saddened to hear about the death of a conservation hero of mine - Tony Soper aged 95.

He inspired me as a child with his smooth knowledgeable style. He was a wonderful man.

Rest in nature Tony Soper ❤️

Happy #waderwednesday. Our birds left the HighArctic& are landing on our shores now. They're starved& exhausted. Any disruption of their feeding or resting could endanger their lives. Please give them plenty of space and don't allow your dogs to chase them under any circumstances

As school begins in England, periodic reminder that schools which choose to reward 100% attendance without equally rewarding disabled children who cannot achieve this for disability related reasons may well be breaching the Equality Act and the Human Rights Act

@stuttonsparrows @shirleysampso19 @iRecordWildlife Thanks Mark. Will do.

[Sharon Barker @SharonBzzz]

I'm pretty sure that this is the work of the larvae of Fig Skeletoniser moths (Choreutis nemorana) and gather that they haven't been in this area, #Manningtree, very long. Should I report this somewhere?

Free Afghan Women 🇦🇫

—Afghan women are defying the Taliban's ban on public speaking by singing poets out loud.

—Let’s stand by them and support their powerful voices for their freedom.

Afghan female athlete Marzieh Hamidi launched hashtag #LetUsExist to protest against the gender apartheid in Afghanistan and inviting all of you to support Afghan women.

Afghanistan under Taliban rule is a prison for women are deprived of their rights, individual freedoms.

[Shamail Tawana Nasiri @ShamailTawana]

Many women have joined the protests rallying behind the phrase "My voice is not private." They sing as a powerful act of defiance using their voices as a symbol of resistance against the oppressive rule of the Taliban Their demonstrations serve as a courageous stand for freedom.

[Sara Wahedi @SaraWahedi]

As of today, this is how women must dress in Afghanistan, according to the Taliban's Supreme Leader.

The following rules are now in effect: The full face must be covered—no hands, nothing visible. The black veil was presented as a "recommendation" a year ago, now it is the law.

[Parody Nigel Farage @Parody_PM]

Nothing to see here, just two shameless morons enjoying a lovely day out looting. Best not share in case they get caught and sent to prison.

@shirleysampso19 @uniofeastanglia That's brilliant Shirley. Dig out your satchel, sharpen your pencils and enjoy!

My daughter's Y3 teacher is the absolute GOAT. She single-handedly crocheted a mini-me of each kid in her class as an end of year gift. Approx. 8hrs per doll. Even the hairstyles and clothes are spot on. What a legend.

[Jed Ostoich @TheJeditor]

Putting together a wedding gift. (Nice) starter junk-drawer. I’ve got:

1. Twist ties
2. Scissors
3. AA and AAA batteries
4. Chip clips
5. Ruler

What else should I include?

In the last 2 days I’ve seen a daughter supported when her parents got parted & lost abroad, then an elderly man have his tools stolen & a GoFundMe to get him new ones. This site doesn’t always have to hateful. Great good can come when we use it well. Let’s give good more power.

[Matt Haig @matthaig1]

The Green Party have as many seats as Reform so let's hope they get the same coverage as Farage going forward.
