Another Buzzard has been shot in the North York Moors - a region already notorious for illegal bird of prey persecution linked to grouse shooting. How many more protected birds need to die before the government finally takes action?

Watch as @nationalgriduk chomps through a hedge. In nesting season. Despite its DCO stating “”In accordance with good practice measure B02, vegetation with the potential to support breeding birds will be programmed to be removed outside of breeding bird season (March to August inclusive) where practicable”. So why was it not practicable not to do it in this instance?The ecologist found nothing (what a surprise) but there is no way a hedge like this does not have nesting birds.

In December, the Govt will decide if it will renew the glyphosate licence until 2041…
•That’s 15 more years of impacts on worms, bees, soils and run-off into ponds and rivers, and glyphosate in your food. Sign Garden Organic’s petition NOW to ban this dangerous herbicide.

Cuckoo calling Sutton Park. Per my sister.

Here it is, my occasional reminder that balloons won't make it up to grandma in heaven.

But they will return to Earth and choke wildlife.

Disappointing news from Sutton Park 💔

Stonechat pairs dropped from 6 to just 1 in 5 years largely due to increased dog disturbance.

These birds nest on the ground & are easily disturbed.

🐾 Please keep dogs on leads
🚶 Stick to paths

Small actions = big impact for wildlife😞

President Trump has posted this picture on social media of himself as Christ healing the sick. I’ve long given up saying how hard it is to think of any previous US president who behaved like Donald Trump, but comparing himself to Jesus puts him on another level altogether.

Heartbreak in northern #Lebanon: Witnesses report a massive illegal shooting where over 300 storks were killed in a single morning.

Our teams identified decomposing remains on-site and have reported the incident to the police. This is why our monitoring camps are vital.

Good news! Raeshaw Estate in the Scottish Borders loses appeal against 3-yr General Licence restriction in relation to Golden Eagle 'Merrick' being shot & killed.

1/3

A journey of 300,000km ended by a single shot.

Two Lesser Spotted Eagles, ringed in Slovakia in 2007 & 2012, were recently confirmed killed in #Lebanon.

They survived decades of migration and crossed the region 34 times before their journey was cut short.

Minimal coverage from @BBCNews

[Diane Abbott @HackneyAbbott]

It is very strange that 500,000 people can take part in an anti-racist march, the biggest in British history, and yet the BBC does not report it.

A Red Legged Partridge appeared today on the roof of the garages at my flat in Harborne. B32 Bit unexpected.

“Why would Israel says something that’s not true?” asks Laura Kuenssberg with a completely straight face

[Canary @TheCanaryUK]

If people weren't dying, this would be hilarious! Laura Kuenssberg just implied that the suggestion that Israel would lie is shocking

Some of the detritus left in the hide at #uptonwarren Flashes on Friday (suitably binned back at the car park). If someone can carry a full cup of hot coffee to a hide why cant they leave with an empty cup?

Red Kite circling low over Welsh House Farm/ Harborne border. B32. Slowly drifting east.
