First twitch for several years earlier this week, but as it was not too far and I needed it to complete the "shrike set", paid the Long-tailed Shrike a visit

Your annual reminder that William Shakespeare was born in what is now Turkey, never visited England and almost certainly could not read or write in English.

Some excellent goose watching in North Norfolk over the last week. A notable influx of White-fronted, Barnacle and Tundra Bean Geese joining the Pinkfeet flocks. The Netherlands is most likely the origin of these birds. Certainly livened up the grey weather.

Some signs of spring (hopefully) on today's damp, grey walk. Fly over Red Kire was nice. #Warwick

I’m campaigning for a ban on fossil fuel ads in the UK , for too long these fossil fuel giants have had unlimited spending power to greenwash their filthy reputations for politicians and the public . Please sign my Gov petition - thank you petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

petition.parliament.uk

Petition: Ban fossil fuel advertising and sponsorship

Advertisements encourage the use of products and sponsorship promotes a positive reputation & creates a social licence of trust & acceptability. In 2003 a ban on all tobacco advertising was introduced...

A single 400-year-old ancient oak produces 234,000 litres of oxygen a year while soaking up carbon dioxide, and can support more than 2,000 species of bird, insect, fungus, and lichen. Nature is amazing - we need more of it, not less. Please repost if you agree 🌳

And while we’re not in favour of a ban, we agree with @wildjustice.bsky.social that change must come. Hopefully this petition will lead to a much-needed Westminster debate. bsky.app/profile/wild...
