This small oak seedling was planted by a jay bird in an area previously cleared of plantation spruce. I built a wire cage around it to protect it from being eaten.

Seems identical to what the Irish government is doing, making judicial reviews an impossible option for communities seeking to defend local ecosystems. The urgent need for increased clean energy cannot be used as a justification to remove what little protection nature has.

Was there ever a time when humans lived with respect for nature, understanding they had to live sustainably and only take from their environment what that environment could sustain? Or did they always kill every fish, cut down every tree and then blame "climate change" for their predicament?

This young oak was planted by a jay bird. I sometimes protect the young seedlings with wire netting until they're big enough to have a better chance of survival.

This area would be destroyed to construct a massive proposed wind turbine. It has rocky outcrops, dry heath, with heather, bilberry, western gorse etc. It is located just above a beautiful mountain lake with clean water. Nearby are wet grassy fields full of orchids and Devils bit scabious.

I found this small creature today while digging the garden. It was in the soil. Is it a newt or a lizard ?

You won't have seen it on the News but right now Israel is destroying 600,000 homes in Lebanon, to move 2m out of 22% of Lebanon, so they can steal it all for themselves. A war crime not seen since Hitler, or Gaza.

Planted a huge oak sapling - 13 feet tall, robust with huge roots. The biggest challenge was carrying it uphill to its place in amongst other native trees previously planted. I have tree nursery beds. Every year the big ones must go. This one should have gone last year ! Would have been easier !

Yes: lynx can take even sika stags, for example, but would likely concentrate on the young and females. Exactly what's needed to help control deer populations and behaviour.

Wood anemone, said to be an indicator of ancient woods. This clump here was planted 1 year ago in my young woods. Great to see they have re-emerged and are in flower.

Money, or cash is going to collapse in value because they can print more money (increase liquidity) but they cannot print resources, especially those things that require oil or gas to produce, transport etc.

I was surprised to see a bat flying around at dusk recently. Must be the mild weather has woken it up. Not seen an insect flying yet however so I guess our bat will remain hungry for now.

The right to trial by a jury of ones peers has been enshrined in the British constitution for over 800 years. It serves as a safeguard for the individual against abuse of state power, ensuring public involvement in the justice system. All this is currently under threat by Starmer's regime, UK.

I was surprised to see this lizard out this morning. It had fallen into a bucket of water, but was okay. It's about 7°C out there, I thought they were not active at low temperatures. After taking the photo I put it by a crevice between stones in a wall. It crawled away to safety.

EU legislation is being used in this case to override local planning decisions, thus depriving local authorities of having any kind of county development plan designed to protect specific amenities from development.
