Good to see chalk grassland flora doing well at Orwell Clinch Pits, S. Cambs, yesterday despite the drought like conditions. Particularly nice to find hawkweed oxtongue and leases calamint (TBC with irecord submission).

I had a nice stroll round Thriplow Meadows today. Too late for marsh orchids but still some nice things around including meadow vetchling, fen bedstraw, greater birdsfoot trefoil and marbled white on marsh thistle. Plus the site managers came over to say hello.

From 5am and for the next 12h, a group of Kyiv teenagers were waiting on the site of the russian missile strike which destroyed their friend's home. They hoped he'd be pulled alive out of the rubble. Unfortunately, no miracle happened as their 17yo friend was found dead. This is unbearable.

You don’t negotiate with Russian terrorists who fire missiles with cluster ammunition warheads at playgrounds and killing 9 children, as happened in Krivyi Rih. You send those Russian terrorists straight to hell and break their remaining empire into pieces. Period.

Forgetting brings impunity. russians carpet-bombed Mariupol, blocked civilian evacuations, forced people to seek refuge in the Drama Theater, bombed it too, and then kept shelling the area to make any rescue mission impossible. There can be no normalization with this evil.

I have a big ask. My 9yo son is autistic and he’s been raising a betta fish he named Kevin. Yesterday He asked if he could “share a photo of Kevin with the whole world“. I don’t know if this will work, but a dad’s gotta try. Like and share if that’s your thing. Kevin says hi! 🐟👋

@stickybeak.bsky.social good to see you over here. The ecology of an island is a fascinating thing. Surely now is the time to dramatically quit from the other place and start sending your posts this way.

rally was held in Vladivostok, Russia, calling for strategic nuclear missiles to be aimed at the United States. Because in their opinion, Washington is to blame for the "genocide of Russians."
