Time and again, people I follow on social media for their specific expertise seem to reveal a total lack of sense the moment they post about anything outside their field.
After a hectic week sat in front of a laptop, there something deeply relaxing about watching the birds in the garden. Nothing terribly exciting this afternoon: blue tits, great tits, house sparrows, tree creeper, firecrest. Woodpeckers visit in the morning.
Sitting in the garden, enjoying the bird song, with a coffee, and looking across the valley at the freshly ploughed fields. There's a definite taint of something in the air.
Thank you to everyone that commented.
Still finding it hard to accept and fully expecting to see her walk through the door, so taking a bit of time offline while things sink in.
"If" and "only" - two small words - words that kept repeating themselves again and again in Janet's thoughts...
It's fascinating how deeply embedded into our culture the idea that we *need* to consume meat to be healthy is - and that abstaining from it is somehow *dangerous*.
~85% of the UK's pig population is raised in large-scale intensive or factory-farming units. Do you need a better reason than this for going plant-based? 🌱#GoPlantBased

For most #dairy calves being born and tagged is an immediate death sentence 👺With immediate incarceration on death row. In fact for all newborns in all animal fHarming it is a death sentence. Many of them first live a miserable life of forced pregnancies, forced labor, delivering milk, eggs or just offspring before being murdered. Don’t support this #EndAnimalExploitation #LiveVegan live a justifiable lifestyle ✌️
The uproar is hilarious. God forbid children actually eat a healthy meal once a day. #GoPlantBased
🔴 Schoolchildren will be made to eat lentils and chickpeas once a week and ice cream will be restricted under Labour plans

So many exceptions and loopholes make a mockery of the Hunting Act 2004. There's not an ounce of sense or comparison between the riders and their actions. This has to end.
What is happening when people think nothing of killing swans, slingshotting parakeets, or torturing a newborn donkey? Has the digital age removed us so far from nature that we've entirely lost empathy for non-human animals?
Newborn donkey tortured and killed and body dumped @MetroUK
Wanton cruelty, it makes me despair of humans
Why would anyone want to inflict such abuse on an innocent baby animal?
It defies belief

Within four years solar power will be saving emissions equivalent to 154 million tons of CO2 (or roughly the same as those emitted by the entire Netherlands) each year in Europe alone, says a report by Exeter University and Prince William’s Earthshot.

A fascinating concept: using gene editing to bring back the dodo. I've always found historical museum illustrations and photos of them engrossing - which is likely why I've keenly followed the conservation efforts for New Zealand's native flightless bird, the kakapo. youtu.be/u3TJYiYB6nk?is=IypA…

Its only a matter of time before fish vanish in the ocean
From mega factory ships scooping up millions of fish every minute and not giving them a chance to breed
To warming ocean adversely affecting their spawning grounds
Marine life stand no chance at all
Decreasing fish stock
as Significant temperature rise in eastern Barents Sea affects spawning grounds, study says
the surface temperature in Norwegian waters have been 0.5 to 2.5 degrees higher than average over recent years
But hey co2 is great plant food
