I'd always recommend if anyone visits London in the Summer they take some time to visit the Barbican Estate, it has a strange beauty to it. I spent a morning on a photoshoot there a year or two ago, and found it fascinating

My natural history book of the year is ‘Urban Plants’ by @trevorthebotanist.bsky.social
Informative, entertaining and inspiring - after reading it you will never walk down a street, pass by a wall or look at a grass verge in the same way again. Highly recommended @bsbibotany.bsky.social

Today at Broomhill Sands there were large expanses of sand at low water. But, still the waders & gulls were constantly disturbed by just a few dogs, so efficient were they at quartering every part of the beach. How do we allow access while protecting nature?

Someone I’m close to has just bought a plot of pastureland, inc. a section of ephemeral stream, with the intention of reviving that land— & I’ll have a part to play in this, which I’m very excited about! A little piece of this world will move with a more natural, freer rhythm; become wilder, richer.

Hugely progressive policy... hidden from progressive voters under Budget news. Typical of Labour's hopeless comms.

The huge problem that Puffins face is climate change. A massive 93% decline is predicted by 2050.
Yet, I haven’t seen a single reference to this in any reports or comments on Puffin numbers recently.
Which is quite strange 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
