johnw6458.bsky.social @johnw6458.bsky.social · 04/10/2026What a shitshow the Tories have become. Just finished 'The Lie of the Land'. Forget Burnham, Guy for PM. Great read, hugely inspirational and a call to arms. Brilliant. 121
johnw6458.bsky.social @johnw6458.bsky.social · 20/08/2026First bird of my day: same Woodpigeon as yesterday. This time looking significantly wetter but still as devoted. 0150
johnw6458.bsky.social @johnw6458.bsky.social · 19/08/2026First bird of my day: Woodpigeon sat on top of hedge, trying to hide in the foliage, incubating 2 white eggs, very devoted, given away as usual by the white mark on its neck. 070

johnw6458.bsky.social @johnw6458.bsky.social · 11/08/2026The rich and poisonous will be celebrating the crisis they've contributed to tomorrow by the killing of red grouse all over our precious moorland. What prospects of banning this hideous activity under Burnham? 010
johnw6458.bsky.social @johnw6458.bsky.social · 09/08/20266.35am this morning, swift leaves nest box and hasn't returned tonight. Good luck guys on your long trip south. 000
johnw6458.bsky.social @johnw6458.bsky.social · 30/07/2026Incredible, in a paper that takes itself seriously. In other words, continue with our hedonism at the expense of future generations, who basically, can go to hell. 000
johnw6458.bsky.social @johnw6458.bsky.social · 24/07/2026@rubyfree.bsky.social saw you speak last year at the Kendal Mountain Festival, and have nearly finished your book in prep. for a trip to Rathlin next week. What a fab read, your passion and enthusiasm are so heartening and what an asset to the natural world you are! Keep up the great work Ruby! 011
johnw6458.bsky.social @johnw6458.bsky.social · 15/07/2026What is the matter with these people? I was listening to Radio 4 recently, discussion about the church losing its appeal. Maybe turning an eye to the greatest crisis we face might help them become more relevant. 030
johnw6458.bsky.social @johnw6458.bsky.social · 15/07/2026First bird of the day: scruffy dunnock skulking under the garden hedge, unusually quick to escape my presence. 070
johnw6458.bsky.social @johnw6458.bsky.social · 14/07/2026Wow, profusion of butterflies in back garden. The power of no mow. 000
