I hope you had the best of birthdays Chris. It is so wonderful to see your videos, the best medicine ever for gloomy depressing days! Love you and your dear animals, especially Mo and Oreo :)

He was wonderfully OTT as Percy Shelley in Ken Russell's Gothic! Not forgetting his role as the mysterious George in A Room With a View.

Coming from generations of Northumbrian coal miners, to us she was the devil incarnate. The damage she did to our communities was unforgiveable. She had so much hate in her.

Loads going up here in the north western part of Norfoolk around the Snettisham area. Just near me a huge field full of a huge range of plant and animal and fungi species is now covered in new housing. The land was deemed, "waste ground" which is such a ridiculous and untrue phrase.

Fantatsic. It is great to hear the pinkfeet again. Not had too many over Snettisham yet, but they're coming!

Agreed. Bad editing and the music is a total distraction and completely irrelevant. Some production componies have no idea when it comes to documenting nature.

There is a lovely Phallus impudicus somewhere under that lot...

When they start with the pathetic personal attacks, you know they have nothing else to give. They did the same with Corbyn because of him not wearing a tie.
Give me an MP who actually gives a damn about people over a sartorially elegant facist knobhead with an expensive dentist's bill anyday.

I didn't know they could be cultivated. Bet they aint cheap!

Great guy. Great orator.

Dean Allison @deanallison.bsky.social · 5d

The head on view is super. As is the stoat being off the ground. Lovely picture.

Dean Allison @deanallison.bsky.social · 5d

That is a very nice looking specimen.

How much more right wing can this nature-hating Labour party go?

Dean Allison @deanallison.bsky.social · 5d

I'd never have believed "Labour" would go so far to the right. It is so depressing.

Beautiful art! Also the shirt is fantastic. I once saw Roger Phillips wearing one just like it.

I've been using peat-free for years and it is perfectly fine. Works just as well as the old peat stuff.

Jack Wallington @jackwallington.com · 12d

If you're still using peat based compost, it really is time to stop. It's dug straight out of precious natural habitat and releases tonnes of carbon into the atmosphere (literally) in the process. Here's a guide, there are loads of good brands out there www.jackwallington.com/how-to-figur...

How to figure out if a compost brand is good or not and the brands of peat free compost I use | Jack Wallington | Nature & Gardens

Around the world the vast majority of plants on earth grow in a mix of mineral soil and composted organic matter - only those in peatland grow in peat. Over the last ten years I have grown almost ever...

Hello Tom, thank you for the EIder. My favorite of all ducks :)

As if this government gives a damn about nature. If it was up to Starmer and his anti-nature party, every bit of land would be built on.

That is quite a find!

Brown Roll Rims - Paxillus involutus (I think) in the garden. Please correct if I'm wrong! A nice display under the birch tree.

Starmer is such a rotten hypocrite. So it is "Un-British" to protest but seemingly not at all Un-British to be complicit in war crimes against innocents. Starmer must be neck deep ion Israeli money and corruption. I'd love to see him In The Hague on trial.

Super photo! They are lovely birds.

Lovely photograph. Woodpigeons are my favourite of all birds.

I must be a heretic as I prefer them done in a microwave with soggy skin, then slathered in gravy. Sorry :(
