So … I’ve had enough of this miserable platform. The Nazi salute was the final straw. I’m over at the other place.

I’ll keep this account for now as an archive of past interactions, but won’t check in often, so best to contact me in other ways.

@DavidJIPrice Thanks. Can you DM me with a PIN showing which part of the park it was in and I’ll add it to the records map. Redstart is good for there too. You should be in with a chance of a few more migrants over the next few weeks.
After an FOI dispute lasting 18 months I've finally obtained the official reasons Boris Johnson gave for peerages of Charlotte Owen & Ross Kempsell. The reasons cited for Owen seem thin, inadequate & lacking in evidence, leaving her peerage as a mystery rather than justifying it.
Happy New Year! We had a campaign break over Christmas & New Year but now we are back with over 2,500 signatures today, so far, on our petition to ban driven grouse shooting.
Plz consider signing it: https://t.co/8HCNtw8Xrc
There’s an opportunity to bring about a ban on lead shot in the next few weeks. You can support a ban by emailing Steve Reed, the environment secretary, at the page below.
Please also share here and on other social media. Thanks.

@01000011S Attempts at comedy involving mis-spelt shrikes and pungent Thai fruit is a bit too niche, clearly. You do what you like with your D(a)urian, just keep it away from me!😂

A new petition to end the Badger cull has been launched just moments ago.
Please, if you care about wildlife, about decency, science, democracy, sign and repost this petition.
We can’t sit by and allow tens of thousands more Badgers to be slaughtered

@SteveBabbs@graemelyons The fundamental difference between a proper noun and a common noun is that proper nouns are used to refer to singular entities, whereas common nouns are used to refer to classes of such entities (tell me if you disagree). So: David Bowie, Birmingham vs musician, city. 2/
NEW: Huge poll by More in Common finds the public support assisted dying by 5 to 1.
Massive week for Parliament as it grapples with what could be the biggest social change in a generation.
Nearly 10K signatures on day 1! It's about time we binned off Driven Grouse Shooting, isn't it?

@severnrover 4/4 For large gulls (Herring etc) you have to insert third or even fourth year plumages into the sequence.
Note: this is greatly over-simplified. It’ll serve you for your photo cataloguing, but once you’ve done that, unlearn it and learn calendar year terminology instead. 🙂
@severnrover 3/ The same terminology applies to Common and Ring-billed (and Little). For most Black-headed Gulls you (usually) won’t see any difference between second years and adults so it goes directly from first-summer -> adult winter.
