“In this country, we have no ‘other people.’ We are American people, all of us.” This 1940s film warning against bigotry and fascism is more relevant now than ever.
I made an insect hotel today and someone has already moved in, so it must be okay. Tried to make the central piece look like a rose bloom. #insecthotel #uknature #conservation

While you’re struggling with rising energy bills, the numbers tell a story. Energy companies have posted £26.2 billion in profits in Q1 2026, around £102 extracted from every UK household in just three months. From July, your bills will rise by another £201 a year.
Now that's what I call positive transition!!! #actonclimate #offshorewind #ukenergytransition

Massive offshore installations now generate electricity at utility scale #ActOnClimate
@davegoulson.bsky.social has inspired me so much with his YouTube videos about bees. I'm learning so much by observing them. Here's what I think is a Leaf Cutter Bee packing her eggs into an insect hotel with carefully cut leaf circles. She's been busy for a whole two hours. #ukbees #beescrolling
Next, let's see the River Meon, River Itchen and River Test recognised in the same way.

A sensory explosion visiting the Walled Garden at the Knepp Estate, West Sussex today. Really beautiful wild planting. The more your eyes adjusted, the more you noticed. Beautiful, thick birdsong and gorgeous, rich scents of plants I've never seen. Pure magic! #knepp #wildgarden #ukgarden #rewilding
A message to Keir Starmer ahead of the King's Speech.
Nothing sticks on Farage. If he fell into a gigantic consignment of velcro he'd just roll on out the other side.

I still love the theory a Year 6 child proposed to me that David Attenborough is actually God and he got fed up with people not noticing the amazing things he'd created, so he made documentaries to show off.
Fantastic visit to Upton Grey Manor House today to see the beautifully restored Gertrude Jekyll garden! Gorgeous wafts of planting and clever use of Stachys byzantina as edging. #gertrudejekyll #artsandcrafts #uptongrey #ukgardens #gardendesign
Celebrating Dorset sculptor, Mary Spencer Watson today, a lady I was honoured to meet in January 2006, at her home, Dunshay Manor, not long before she passed away. A spellbinding artist living in a magical place. It would have been her birthday today. Dunshay Manor share.google/GvMPLCPSmCMx...

Cynara cardunculus thriving at Hinton Ampner, Hampshire. Beautiful leaves on this one. Cynara cardunculus is being developed as a new bioenergy crop in the Mediterranean because of its high biomass and seed oil yields even under harsh conditions. #cynara #gardening #artichoke #cardoon
Bert has a tweed bowtie collar with a bell since today to give nature a warning when he's nearby. He's taken to it like a trooper. Well done Bert! #caturday
Bert waiting for his bedtime snack. He knows they're in the nightstand draw. Once he's had his snack, he sits outside the bedroom door guarding us until he thinks we're asleep, then he jumps on to the bed to settle himself down with us. My hero. #cats #caturday #tabbycats
