'Nature roars back' young trees and shrubby undergrowth emerging from these ancient soils at Foxley Wood 😍 'The past's less abundant than the present' as a Silver Washed Fritillary whizzes past... 'butterflies are symbols of our souls' 🙏 @patrickbarkham.bsky.social @savebutterflies.bsky.social

It was a real honour to appear on Martha Kearney's BBCR4 This Natural Life, and lovely to have a programme from Norfolk Wildlife Trust's fantastic Foxley Wood www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Wayland's Smithy Long Barrow on the Ridgeway National Trail, a place of pilgrimage for millennia. Barrow built in Neolithic times. Current trees planted in 19th century maybe when it was included in Ancient Monuments Protection Act of 1882. Graffiti 20th and 21st century #trees #ridgeway @ticl.me

You're making great progress John, the next stage has great views from Coombe Hill, up to Steps Hill and along the escarpment to Ivinghoe Beacon @theridgewaynt.bsky.social

Yesterday's 20 mile walk along #TheRidgeway from Wallingford to Princes Risborough. Not my favourite stage as a little short on great views. However, on my 360 mile #GreatChalkWayIn25 challenge I am now in Buckinghamshire and over half way to the North Norfolk Coast! Next stage to Ivinghoe Beacon

Congratulations to the first Ridgeway 50 Photo’s young winner Aleksander, with photographer Matt Writtle at the Swire Ridgeway Arts Festival today. We are hoping to see many more talented young artists be inspired by the landscape along our Ridgeway National Trail.

Thank you @richardbenwell.bsky.social your thread unpicks the potentially scary technical elements and signposts to the positives. We must hold the Govt to account and see the benefits for nature in this #PlanningBill

We want to see the #PlanningBill work harder for nature. 🦉all planning decisions must be in line with nature & climate targets. 🦉more nature sites & irreplaceable habitats should be legally protected. 🦉development should be "wilder by design" with new Building Regs for wildlife.

Late afternoon and early evening on Wittenham Clumps. Brightwell Barrow and the Chilterns beyond. Lights of Didcot and Harwell twinkle beneath sunset glow while I listen to Tawny Owls calling in the wood.
