As you watch the Aurora this evening, it’s worth reflecting that you’re getting a rare direct glimpse of the power of Nature. Those charged particles causing the atmosphere to glow came from a sunspot complex 17 times the diameter of Earth and traveled across 90 million miles at a million miles an hour. Without our magnetic field to protect us, our atmosphere would have been lost to space long ago. Those colours in the sky are Nature reminding us that we’re very lucky to be here amidst the violence. And perhaps therefore also reminding us not to shite it all up :-)

✨ IT’S OFFICIAL! ✨Our brand-new Swift Tower is FINALLY complete, standing proudly at 8m tall behind the Eels Foot Inn, Eastbridge! 🥳
The tower will provide a nesting haven for Swifts on the Suffolk coast. A HUGE thanks to everyone who helped make this project a reality! 🐦🪶

We have all wondered what it sounds like to get licked by a woodpecker, haven't we?
Sound up, press play and wonder no more...

Stop putting sh*t in our lake.
The message is simple. I will be outside United Utilities information centre every Monday from 9am - 10am until a commitment is made to stop putting sewage into Windermere.
We already have those wanting to join the strike so please head to savewindermere.com if you have any ideas.
@Feargal_Sharkey I would love it if you would consider joining me for an hour.
@gretathunberg feel free to come too…

Mowing became fashionable during the Industrial Revolution when it was how the wealthy showed off they didn't need to grow their own food
250 years on and manicured lawns are so embedded in our culture that despite the adverse impacts many can't envision any alternatives

Farmers want to use banned chemical to control bracken - BBC News. Bracken is the earth preparing the way for trees to regrow in a landscape so devastated by sheep that nothing much else can. This should just stop. There is no credible excuse. bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-657…

This is what’s happened in City Gardens, Cardiff since 2008. Up to 50 mature trees cut down! Ever heard of the climate crisis and biodiversity emergency @cardiffcouncil? Truly the worst council in Wales.

Here’s a 20 second film that it took me 40 hours to make and it’s called ‘You can never be forgiven for what you’ve done’ or something like that

The Couple's Choice that changed the game. Hamza and Jowita are bringing those Afrobeats back even better than before! 🙌 #Strictly

I’d like to propose a concept - imagine if every front #garden had a #wildlifepond. Imagine the biodiversity increase…! I often think that front #gardens are an untapped resource when it comes to making habitats for #wildlife. #Wildlifegarden 🐸 – at East Midlands, England

It’s the height of the British apple season and without doubt one of the best harvests in years. So why does the @marksandspencer food concession in Bristol Temple Meads station only sell apples from New Zealand and South Africa?

I got a Cyanobacteria bloom tested as I felt this wasn’t being taken seriously enough.
It exceeded WHO guidelines for levels of Anabaena. On a weight for weight basis the neuro and hepato toxins potentially produced are as toxic as cobra venom.
Windermere is not safe ⬇️

Can anyone help ID this bird? Found on the mainland in the UK, and we made a film about finding it too - give it a watch if you fancy:

Season 2 of Gone Feral (the self-funded Wildlife series I do with @_HarryRead) is out now on YouTube! (Just search for Gone Feral)
Cheers everyone who's helped and supported, and if anyone fancies sharing this trailer then that would be incredible :)

#Sewage is killing #windermere in the #LakeDistrict.
There is no plan in place to rectify this and to save #Windermere
I want @UNESCO @UNESCOUK to strip the @lakedistrictnpa of its world heritage status over its failings to protect the #nationalpark
