🚨 MEN CAUGHT TAKING 2 LARGE CARP FROM RIVER

Carp and other coarse fish are heavily protected by fisheries rules designed to safeguard fish stocks, river ecosystems and the future of angling in Britain.

Yet scenes like this are becoming increasingly common. While law-abiding anglers follow strict rules around fish welfare and river management, concerns continue to grow over fish being removed from waterways with little regard for conservation, ownership or the future of our rivers.

[James Wright @JPBWFarm]

Natural England wants to remove 90% of Dartmoor’s ponies.

Our Exmoor ponies are next. These animals have been here for thousands of years.

A government quango, destroying the countryside and its heritage.

Sign our #Petition to #Government seeking licensing of the #gamebird #shooting industry and lets stop this barbaric practice once and for all 👇👇

On my Flamborough to Bempton Cliffs walk I noticed this aberrant plant of some type of Mayweed approximately two inches across growing in a field sown for wild bird seed. Can anyone say what it is? @BSBIbotany

Young White-tailed Eagle 'disappears' from grouse shooting estate in North York Moors National Park.

Police think its disappearance is 'suspicious'. No shit.

This is outragious inequality. . . .
The whole of Britain should be ashamed, especially Royalty!

Todays highlight was a Light mantled Sooty Albatross. Indian Yellow nosed Albatross , White chinned Petrel plus this 'interesting' dark capped , heavy billed Pterodroma' .?? Thoughts welcome. 🇿🇦

Biggest hypocrite in Britain? "Save the planet" meanwhile blasts animals out of the sky for fun.

[FarmerDave @BestBritishBeef]

To all livestock farmers, particularly during this hot time, please remember to safeguard Barn Owls from drowning in your troughs! I put concrete blocks in mine! @BarnOwlTrust @SomersetLive

Hi @NewcastleCC. Kittiwakes are getting stuck in this mesh tower on the Tyne Bridge. Can someone let them out, please?

[Wombourne Nature @WombourneNature]

Any Weevil experts out there that can confirm the ID of these? I'm thinking Green Nettle Weevil?

If you have any information please contact Police Scotland.

.@Keir_Starmer @RachelReevesMP - do you really think people will be voting @UKLabour ever again when their local #nature reserves have been trashed by developers? Some things matter more than money.

[End Bird Shooting @EndBirdShooting]

This is the reality of the bird shooting industry in this country. Pheasants are mass bred
in factory farm conditions like this - crammed into raised cages so the shooting industry can produce enough birds for people to kill for “sport.” Absolutely disgusting.

[StandForWolves🐺 Ⓥ @MesMitch]

@janischshane The time for whaling to end is now

The continued whaling by Iceland, Japan and Norway is not about cultural survival or economic necessity – it is about politics, nationalism and the unwillingness of a few powerful interests to let go of an outdated and unsustainable practice

[End Bird Shooting @EndBirdShooting]

This isn't a solar farm, it's a factory farm.
These are endless rows of raised cages used to confine pheasants bred for the bird shooting industry.

[Christina Hespe @HespeChris34466]

Did you forget it was no mow May @SheffCouncil? This patch was lush a couple of days ago, long grass and wild plants. Looks like a massacre’s occurred now. 😢 Which part of biodiversity crisis are you not understanding? Why do you hate nature so much? @alextomo @GeoffreyLean

@TheSnapper1978 Top shot Steve, Snapper indeed 👏

[Stephen G. Rae @BardCumberland]

Surely Bradford Council can come up with a better way to repair a wall, rather than kill 18 protected trees?
