Steve's right and to all the lovely folk still on X who I'd hate to lose touch with - I only stop by here occasionally just to 'collect the mail' - I'm still around, just moved to where the sky is blue.
We’re seeing loads of new spring arrivals over on @Bluesky where we have dedicated feeds for #UKbirdjng#LowCarbonBirding#ornithology and much more.
Personally, Bluesky is turning out to everything Twitter used to be with knobs on. Feeds are just a great function you’ll love!
Imagine, Twitter like it was back in the day. Growing our communities. Friendly.
Well, imagine no longer cos that’s what it’s like over on @Bluesky as our #ukbirding#ornithology and #LowCarbonBirding communities grow. And … no adverts! Come join us.

This was a lovely surprise, thanks @BTO and @britishbirds
I just did the pictures (and I hope they helped a little), Norbert's comprehensive and authoritative text is the real achievement.

@MElcoate Thanks Martin, a good find (even if they are getting more regular). Also nice to add Rudd (fairly confident of ID now) to my Topsham fish list!
🚨So thrilled that the #RiverOtter catchment is one of the 40 projects selected for natural flood management. I was pleased to support this bid by the local EA team and partners back in Nov. More than 100 properties flooded on 9/5/23. NFM is key!

If you don't find this concerning, you really don't understand how bad things are getting. Yes, there's an El Niño at the moment, but the sea surface temperature anomaly has never been so extreme during previous El Niños.
From @guardian article - link in following post.
'A group of Exeter residents will become 'human bollards' to protest against those flouting the rules of the LTN trial in Heavitree and Whipton. ...'

A leading British climate scientist - @KevinClimate - tells us calmly and honestly where we are heading. We need a mass awareness campaign and then a mass uprising.
