The only easily reachable RSPB site from London on public transport… At a time when people really need access to nature. I sincerely hope this doesn’t go through.
Rainham Marshes RSPB could have its café, shop, education programme and visitor centre axed following cost-cutting proposals from the charity that could see 60 reserves impacted: bit.ly/4hq9PDw

You know I love the @BBC & celebrate all the things we pay our licence fee for . But yesterday whilst 100K peaceful people marched to demonstrate their love for life all I could find on @BBCNews was a selfie of the gas-guzzling @taylorswift13 . Im sorry but thats a disgrace #RestoreNatureNow

Dear @BBCNews we would like to know why you didn’t cover a major news event in #London yesterday. Between 60-100 THOUSAND people marched at the #RestoreNatureNow. It looks like you are picking what you think is newsworthy. Isn’t that called bias? Regards, British wildlife.

I don’t think that the Houses of Parliament Peregrines have ever received such a loud round of applause than the one given by those marching for nature today @RNNMarch #RestoreNatureNow

Dear UK Moth recorders - please can you help Iona Cunningham-Eurich with her PhD research. It's not about the moths but all other species found in moth traps. It would be great for her research & its not onerous :) @BroadGavin @WaspWoman qualtrics.ucl.ac.uk/jfe/form…
