This makes no sense…
An MP can wake up one morning, ditch the party you elected them for, & sign up to a completely different manifesto…
No thanks
If they defect to a different party, we should get a vote

An orange poster with the warning “Beware! Fake Webs = Real Risks for Wildlife” written at the top in bold, accompanied by a small, friendly-looking spider hanging from a web. The text explains that fake web decorations can trap and harm birds, small mammals, and even toads. A cartoon owl and spider deliver the message, with the spider humorously saying, “This is all natural!” in front of its web, and the owl encouraging people to avoid fake webbing for a spooky yet wildlife-friendly Halloween. The overall tone is playful but highlights an important caution for Halloween decorating.
It’s spooky season, but let’s not make it scary for wildlife! 🎃👻
Fake web decorations can trap and injure our garden wildlife. Stick to sustainable, indoor decorations and let real spiders do the work outdoors!

A female sparrow-hawk photographed next to our back door. The starling was being chased by the sparrowhawk and collided into the window, so was probably dead before being ripped apart. #wildlifephotography
My lovely cat Polly, no longer with me. This photo was taken in 2007. She was up a larch pole, so she could have a good view of her territory. #catphotos
Everything he's reported to have said in this BBC piece sounds like he's desperately trying to distance himself, knowing that the connection is real and toxic. If the press were investigating Farage with the same enthusiasm they went for Rayner, he'd be done for.

Carl Sagan’s Baloney Detection Kit: A humanist guide for detecting bulls%!t. 1. Confirmation of Facts – Always seek independent evidence. Don’t rely solely on what a single source tells you. 2. Encourage Debate – Encourage substantive debate on the evidence by knowledgeable proponents of all points of view. 3. Question Authority – Authority is not a substitute for evidence. Perhaps a better way to say it is that in science there are no authorities. At most, there are experts. 4. Try More Than One Hypothesis – Consider alternatives. If you stick with one idea, you’re more likely to interpret new evidence as confirmation of your own theories. 5. Stay Open to Changing Your Mind – Be willing to abandon ideas that don’t hold up to scrutiny. Try not to get overly attached to a hypothesis just because it’s yours. 6. Quantify Where Possible – If whatever it is you’re explaining has some measure, some numerical quantity attached to it, you’ll be much better able to discriminate among competing hypotheses.

I’ll let you know if I get a photo.
No, I saw the kingfisher in the brook above the dam a week ago, unfortunately it saw me first.
I’ve only been to Forge Dam four times and will be going back more often.
Yes, definitely a good place to see them.

Such a variety of insect life on our Inula. It’s a lovely flower for our July wildlife garden.

The teasels have loved the sunshine. These are well over 6ft tall. They’re going to be great for pollinators when they flower and then great for the birds when they go to seed. #wildlfegarden

I found this common newt in the bird bath today. I placed it next to the pond, I hope he/she didn’t mind.
Broad-bodied chaser in our garden. I build a small wildlife pond 2 years ago and it’s always a joy to see such a range of wildlife using the pond. #wildlifepond #dragonfly #wildlifephotograpy

I’ve lived in Sheffield for just over two years and it’s the first time I’ve walked down from Forge dam to Endcliffe park.
I definitely be going back, it’s a lovely walk and there’s lots of wildlife there.
