These are interesting articles, but your provided links seem only to take me to the main feed, from where I then have to search for the one relevant to the article I want to read. Can you provide direct links?

What a load of twaddle.

A graphic presenting our principles for guiding environmental monitoring programmes. It is in grid form, with one image per principle: a kestrel, a waterfall, a spider web, geese in flight, oak leaves catching the sun's rays, ripe blackberries, a dew drop on a leaf, a bolt of lightning and the ancient monument of Stonehenge. Text at top: 9 principles upon which successful monitoring programmes are founded.

At today’s National Environmental Monitoring Conference in Liverpool (#BES2024), we're announcing our nine principles for guiding #environmental #monitoring programmes. We hope these will benefit those setting up or developing monitoring initiatives. More: ukeof.org.uk/env-mon-prin... [1/2]

I tucked this image away in 2015. I don't think a lot has changed since.

Rock like rubble with a bright green (chromium) colour

A large diameter rusting pipe in an area of demolition waste (mostly scaffold bars) . The pipe has been dismantled at the flange revealing a build up of pink and green deposits lining the inside.

Derelict power station. Blue door with broken glass and dirty corrugated iron cladding. Sign says Sevalco Power Station.

External view of industrial building. A tall thin chimney and a network of external gantries around large vessels. Wasteland and a man in orange PPE in foreground.

A picture of chemical solid waste on the ground. Predominantly rock like rubble but with a bright pink / cerise colour.

A large bulk bag of carbon black in a partially dismantled industrial setting. Carbon black was used in tyre manufacturing.

Oh eck. Have a cup of tea and calm your nerves. You've still got your trampoline I see!

I spent a long time crawling around the vineyards below Château d'Aguilar as part of my geology degree (1991?). It's less impressive but I wondered how anyone could build anything like that - on the top of a hill in the 12th century - in the heat of a Corbières summer. I could hardly move at all.

Oh. Only because the story sounds so totally bonkers that it makes me want to read it!

That quote on the cover made me laugh 🤣🤣

Yeah that's the one, thanks. I'll get busy ordering book+print tomorrow.

Love the sound of a spooky well! If I bought a lino print, which book might I find the story in?

@colossivepress.bsky.social hey lovely colossive peeps - my order was waiting for me when I got home. Super excited. Haven't had time to look properly yet (had to cook the squids some tea) but absolutely bowled over from a flick through 'How graffiti saved my dad's life'. What a gem of a book ❤️📷❤️

‘In conclusion, we show that the release of non-native pheasants for recreational shooting is associated with almost 2.5 times greater odds of ticks carrying Borrelia sp., the causative agent of Lyme disease’. https://www.authorea.com/users/846585/articles/1234703-the-deliberate-release-of-a-non-native-species-amplifies-zoonotic-disease-risk-via-spillback

A study by Oxford University's Tick Research Group suggested that a reduction in the number of pheasants in the environment - a population artificially enlarged for game shooting - would wipe out the disease in the UK.’ 1999 - how many studies do we need? http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/466809.stm

There were lots of Castor Bean ticks , Ixodes ricinus, out again this year. Be careful,espically in areas with lots of pheasants: read on in +ALT on the 1st and 2nd photo

Nah. I bought special wifi buttons from a popular Swedish store. Just got to remember where I put the buttons now.....

Having to find my phone to change the radio station on the kitchen radio drives me bonkers.
