Have people watched the documentary Poison Water? It's well worth a watch. The incident took place over forty years ago and the people of Camelford deserve a full public enquiry.
Peekaboo 👀
Look who’s popped up on camera at our Oa reserve… a juvenile Corncrake!
This joyful glimpse is the reserve’s first ever recorded evidence of breeding success for this secretive species! An incredibly exciting moment for the team.

I have to say, Springwatch has been a wonderful antidote to modern life. It truly represents what I pay my licence fee for. I'm going to miss it. If only it were a year round show. 💚 #springwatch #nature
I've just nabbed it. I'll say Hi to you later.
Congratulations, Nic. Is your Hitchin launch invitation only?
The dictator continues his work.

The image presents a comparison between two types of lawns to promote #NoMowMay. On the left side, titled "Why have a lawn like this?" it displays a grid of uniform green squares representing a plain, regularly mowed lawn. On the right side, titled "When you can have a lawn like this?" the grid intersperses colourful icons of a sunflower, a pink flower, a ladybug, a frog, a bee, a butterfly, a white flower with a yellow centre, a tulip, another sunflower, a red mushroom with white spots, and additional flowers, symbolising a lively, biodiverse lawn encouraged by letting grass grow naturally during May.
#NoMowMay has begun! 🌼
The rare chance to help nature by doing nothing.

Great weather for it, Joel. I must pop over again and see the transformation.
Spineless decision by RHS. They can't singlehandedly ban peat, but they can ban it for use at their flower show. www.cravenherald.co.uk/news/nationa...
Just when you think the situation can't get any worse.
Food sold in plastic pouches & clingy wraps could be tainted by yet more endocrine-disrupting chemicals like #PFAS (and others like BPA), heavily used in plastic food packaging and can leach into food.. linked to hormonal imbalances, reproductive issues & diseases like metabolic disorders & cancer.
That's a gorgeous specimen, Nic.
Hold your noses and check out the Watershed Pollution Map to see where untreated poop was dumped into rivers, lakes and seas near you, for a record 3.61 million hours last year...

So, everywhere. Which comes as no surprise.
