Tex says
SAY NO to building a data centre here! (With a red arrow pointing to the Avonmouth docks in the distance

A 40 megawatt data centre will use as much energy as
25,000 homes, plus huge amounts of water for cooling.

Weston Big Wood is irreplaceable ancient woodland & a protected SSSI . Yet plans could see around 500 homes built on Tower Farm and Black Rock , enclosing it on both sides . We should be protecting places like this , not building right up to their edges . c.org/8bV8Vy5Gm6

What a delight, a Treecreeper in Eastwood LNR, Portishead. Well camouflaged, they can be quite difficult to spot - happily, Mrs. M. saw this one! Enjoyed watching it work its way up trees searching for food amongst the bark. (15.02.26) - #avonbirds #ukwildlife #birds @wildportishead.bsky.social

Battery Point is not easy to get to when you‘re disabled but I am glad I made the effort. We went to see purple sandpipers, which are usually on the rocks, but they were on the buoy far out to sea, with some turnstone. We waited an hour, just as we were leaving two flew in onto the rocks. #AvonBirds

A bright orange navigational buoy that says Newcome, in brown sea. There are turnstone and purple sandpipers on it but they are barely visible
