Hello #autumn (finally!) Why do parents buy plastic based, planet-destroying fake cobwebs this time of year, when nature designs them so perfectly, for free! This one is 50cm wide! #loverealcobwebs #welldonespiders

Why did #spacex clap a huge fire ball in the ocean? Why is this something to cheer? And who is going to clear up all the #spacejunk ? Even if he doesn’t care about planet Earth surely Elon Musk can’t want to fill space with more & more pieces of metal that damage his spaceships? Let’s clear it up!

An open letter thank the wonderful men and women of the fantastic institution that is the RNLI. I’ve donated to them throughout my life and have been lucky enough to never need them but I’m so grateful for their strength & bravery out on our seas helping others. True #greatbritains 38d.gs/jpcf

This is a disgrace. Brave RNLI volunteers being called scum for risking their lives to save others at sea is just plain wrong. So I've signed an open letter of thanks for the RNLI letting them know th...

Had a great weekend diving at Anglesey. We set ourselves up for litter picking post dive and glad to say at our 2 sites there was no, yes zero litter! Popped to a bigger beach on my way home and found some. Things are changing for the better #nottinghamscubadivers #BSACMarineChampions #litterpicks

My sister-in-law grew up in Puerto Rico. When I told her about Dolly Parton’s passing, she looked puzzled—no recognition of the golden voice or public persona—until her face lit up and she said, “Oh! The book lady!” I think Dolly would love to be remembered this way by a mother of two.

#winterwatch is a brilliant way of highlighting the wonders of nature to children, young people, adults ie everyone. In our #naturedepleted country we need more of these programmes not less. I urge people to sign this petition & demand #morenature on TV tinyurl.com/yc67ruzx

Tell the BBC: Save Winterwatch!

The UK is losing its wildlife, and shows like Winterwatch are vital for connecting us to nature. The BBC's decision to cancel it makes no sense. Let's ask them to rethink this! Add your name here:

As the UK enters its third heatwave of the year it couldn't be clearer: we need to end our reliance on fossil fuels. We'd like to remind Andy Burnham that approving new oil and gas licences is a climate crime. It won't deliver energy security and it won't take a penny off our bills.

Please sign this petition to stop the sale of silly plastic rings that end up round seals’ necks and severely injure or kill then. Having spent time in the water with these beautiful creatures they really don’t deserve this. Let’s ban the silly rings and save seals 🩶🦭🩶 c.org/SWWfQ4MTfn

To be a @bsacdivers.bsky.social Marine Champion is an honour. When the seas reward your dive trip with a visitor like this, it’s truly humbling. Being graced by the presence of a beautiful gentle giant made me cry. People who don’t care about nature really need to get up close to it 🩶🦈 #baskingshark

Did anyone else see the #redsquirrel on the BBC’s #Springwatch article on Monday? Michela Strachan said “in this woodland in the heart of Derbyshire”and then there was a red squirrel…….This is news to me! It’s totally inaccurate isn’t it?!?

Why do news reports rarely talk about the impacts of #climatechange on wildlife? Look how the poor #peregrines in Nottingham were struggling this week! As I write this, the young one came & looked directly into the camera at us, saying “Come on humans, sort this out”! @bbcspringwatch.bsky.social

Some more photos from our #BSACMarineChampions Action Weekend, this time from Exeter BSAC. 🤿 The group completed a litter pick at Babbacombe, collecting 10 kilos of fishing weights, 2 kilos of fishing line, half a fishing rod(!), and several lightweight crab pots. 👏 Well done all! 💪

The #UKgovernment publicly supports pausing #deepseamining yet has handed out exploration licences to #glomarminerals WHY? There’s no need. Companies like BMW & Samsung have committed to keep deep sea #minerals out of supply chains. Recycling: better option. @greenpeace.eu are taking them to court 🙌🏼

How ironic, a “pardon the weeds” sign in a oh so neat, trimmed & tidied area along the ring road …. which contractor mows these #nottinghamcitycouncil areas & why?! @stevebattlemuch.bsky.social can you enquire please (3rd photo is my garden where all pollinators, birds & hedgehogs are welcome)

How much more evidence do we need? The ultra-rich and the governments supporting them will destroy everything for the sake of profit, power and pride. Nothing is precious to them - not human life, not the living world - except their own wealth and status. Our survival depends on resisting them.

Proud of myself and the many other women who ran the #nottingham10k #RaceForAll today on #internationalwomensday There were some hills and it was a challenge but that’s what life should be all about. I especially enjoyed the sound of hundreds of pairs of feet on the pavement rather than tyres 😊
