Seeing the interview in its entirety is sickening, but at the same time the bullying & patronising nature of it is getting plenty of coverage for what is the most crucial time for our future existence on this planet. Only one person came out of this well & that’s Miranda Whelehan
Fantastic responses to some pretty shocking "interviewing" 👏 #DontLookUp #RichardMadeley @GaryLineker #JustStopOil

Blimey, mammatus clouds in Scotland. These are formed by down drafts at the base of large anvil-shaped storm clouds and sometimes precede tornadoes. Easy to see why they have this name.

I now get my oat milk delivered by the milk float, in glass bottles. No cows were kicked in producing it. And its environmental impact is MUCH smaller than dairy's.

Hairy-footed Flower #bees (Anthophora plumipes) will soon be out and about. The ginger coloured males emerge first, followed a week or so later by the all-black females. They have a penchant for lungwort, dwarf comfrey, red dead nettle & wallflowers, so keep your eyes peeled!

Let's get all schools involved. We need children to love and protect nature from an early age, so that it is still there when they are older.
29 schools have already signed up! Let’s keep going, and get more schools across the 32 London Boroughs and the City of London involved! Sign up here: cameronbespolka.com/nest-box… #70nestboxes @cameron_b_trust @CJWildlife @ChrisGPackham @LondonNPC @urbanbirder @LDN_environment
