Everyday there are mindless attacks on our environment & our biodiversity. Living things are loved, but those without celebrity status don't get the protection they deserve.

In the oval office, when he accused Zelensky of playing with WW3, you just knew he was describing himself again.

🚨NEW: climate inaction will cost more than a third of global GDP this century, but an investment of less than 2% GDP now will reduce harms by 90% - a "massive opportunity for humanity", finds a report from Boston Consulting Group and University of Cambridge.

Climate Inaction Could Cost 1/3 Of Global GDP This Century, BCG Warns

The Big 3 consulting firm finds that most harms come from productivity losses, but also reveals how nations could avoid 90% of climate damage.

Very welcome news. Understanding land ownership is critical to understanding wealth & power, especially during climate crisis.

Huge win! Government announces plans to open up the Land Registry.

If delivered, will finally reveal more about who owns land in England and Wales.

Read my blog post for more details & how you can write to the Minister to make sure this now happens:

14 #blackbirds in the garden, only 2 females. What's that about @btobirds.bsky.social
One of the males is wearing a metal ring, & has only just got his full yellow beak, therefore I assume he is a first winter scandi boy. First noticed him about a month ago, will see when he leaves. #gardenbirds

Would that show in an urban v rural split in the data?

I also wonder about wormer effect on soil health. Is there any research on that?

Roses are red, violets are blue.
There are skippety sheep by the A149,
Near Worstead that make cloth so fine.
Don't get distracted, you'll crash into a tree,
Hey nonny, nonny, North Walsham Steam Laundry!

As you travel around enjoying the sun and snowdrops, you may notice the many very manicured hedgerows. Sadly this is the way to weaken & kill them.
Its time landowners, farmers & councils cut 1 in 3 years - side, side, top.
Good for hedge & nature .

Hedgerows: the skill of balancing growth with need

As autumnal cutting starts debates arise over timing and technique. Is flailing harming wildlife and hedgerow health, or providing care?
