Little egrets #birds are intelligent. They use there feet to entice foof out. As a human I amazed at the #male #thugs who have no #intelligence but ASSUME the #artofthedeal is #thuggery. Oh dear it as failed in #iran. Thuggery fails subtle wins.

In my lifetime(62years) has this country ever invaded anyone? regime might b rprehensible but…is it an aggressor? Coup by CIA (1955) attacked by #iraq backed by west #reagan shot down and killed 100+ civilians on an airplane etc. sure they threaten but have they invaded anyone?

Far-right tech oligarchs have the most pathetic ideology. They hate minorities, except when they are coding for them. They want no taxes, no rules, and absolutely no democracy. There is no grand vision for society, just raw greed and a relentless pursuit of personal interests

@themessyecologist.bsky.social am liking. Currently having an argument as an expert in green roofs with natural England who nonexperts are saying a load of rubbish about green roofs. Messy green roofs all over London now but don’t fit the manual of rural #nonexperts.

Brilliant news 👏👏👏Sandeels, the basis of so many food chains, need to remain in the sea not be harvested out of existence to feed farmed fish & animals. A win for seabirds. A win for fish. And definitely a bonus for the sandeels themselves. Fabulous. @petedevery.bsky.social @stuartsw.bsky.social

@birdphotographer.bsky.social I do like a Latin name when it comes to birds. Spent a lot of time finding out why? Firecrest was a good one. If I remember rightly second part means 🔥 cap.

If Britain and Europe are to devise their best response to Donald Trump, they badly need to come together. That will require more ambition on the British side and more flexibility from the EU www.economist.com/britain/2025...

Donald Trump’s antics mean new boldness is needed in UK-EU links

From trade to defence, both Britain and the European Union must reset their ambitions for their relationship

Such a wonder story + very moving - good to see there is care in the community when in the hands of metal detectors. So much crap in the world this is uplifting. #lost and #found #careinthecommunity #helpingothers, they are called the 5th ‘#emergencyservice’ wonderful tinyurl.com/bpaz33sh

Meet the lost jewellery hunters: ‘I will be for ever grateful. It wasn’t just a ring’

Metal detecting isn’t just about searching for ancient treasure – the missing belongings of living people are just as precious. Meet the volunteers reuniting the two
