There is a bank holiday special show coming up on BBCR2 in a bit. Lewis Capaldi’s great Scottish playlist. It’s not a bank holiday in Scotland is the second curious thought I have about this programming.

Good point. I read the story with my chough head on & not how it reads which is not clear on the 161 number - that is choughlets fledged & not the total number of choughs found in Cornwall (poke @rspbengland.bsky.social ) that is way over 300 birds & how they are spreading, they ARE taking over 💪🏻

Good news, but I don't think 161 birds is a "takeover"!

Well done to our brilliant and resilient Cornish choughs - taking over Cornwall! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

RSPB reports record-breaking Cornish chough numbers

RSPB England says 161 Choughs have been counted - 32 more than the 129 recorded last year.

Why are storks getting released everywhere?

How do I explain to small business owners that the menu on the left is one billion times more appealing than the one on the right

This one is well worth a sign 👇 @nationaltrust.org.uk campaigns.nationaltrust.org.uk/page/196457/...

I can’t seem to find any honest & useful suggestions via browsers so looking for help here. I could do with help finding brilliant places to stay with far reaching sea/ocean views in Scotland? Thanks so much

I come bearing the gift of rain

@stephmurphy.bsky.social brilliant that you have a pair Steph. I did a habitat assessment for chough there a few years back.

being a billionaire and on the internet all day is crazy to me. if i had even five million dollars, you would not find me online whatsoever.

The government today have started a consultation process on fireworks & pyrotechnics. I have seen first hand the damage that fireworks can do to wildlife & it’s heartbreaking. I see what it does to my cat & how both of these in turn then affect my mental & physical health. 🧵

This is absolutely shameful given all the money in English football. There's no way the English game can't spare fifty grand for the amputee team. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

England cannot afford trip to amputee World Cup – and the FA will not help

With no national funding, England’s successful men’s amputee side is struggling to raise the £50,000 needed for November’s tournament in Mexico

Hey @robcrank68.bsky.social does this count? 😂 #BirdOfTheDay #gulls #birds #vancouver #canada #signs #ECK 🪶

Please have your say on banning fireworks! It's not just animals that suffer from the noise, but humans with health conditions like dementia, PTSD as well. Plus fire risks, air pollution and physical pollution (litter and microplastics). www.gov.uk/government/c...

Jet skis have no place in British waters - sea, lakes or Lochs. Bin them.

A Brit in the semis of Wimbledon, England still in the World Cup and Nigel Farage spending the summer arguing with a bin. Oh this happy breed of men, this little world, This precious stone set in the silver sea

For anyone that is interested, far from a heat wave, west Scotland has had a very very wet June. That’s not being reported.

Please sign RSK Wilding’s petition! buff.ly/6bkwWU9 Wild Justice have joined a coalition of conservation organisations, businesses, scientists and landowners, to urge the next Prime Minister to take decisive action and reset the Government’s approach to nature recovery. Add your voice!

I don’t blame Burnham for not wanting to live London 😹

The Major Oak has stood at the heart of Sherwood Forest for over a thousand years. This spring, it failed to come into leaf and experts now believe it has died. But its story isn’t over. Its ancient trunk & branches will continue to support life for years to come: www.rspb.org.uk/whats-happen...
