England wildlife watchdog ‘has stopped designating special sites for protection’ Exclusive: Report finds Natural England has created no new SSSIs, which protect areas from development, since 2023

“While Natural England dithers and ‘reviews processes’, irreplaceable wildlife sites are being trashed, damaged, and even built over. That is not a technical failure, it’s a dereliction of duty."

A vixen pauses on a sunny morning to feed all 6 of her kits. She is resident in the community garden behind my house, and paraded them around me in an arc before pausing to show them off. I sat on the ground to take a photo and enjoy the moment. Shortly after, they were startled by a petrol-powered strimmer in an adjoining garden, and they scarpered back to the den, a couple jumping over my feet as they jostled to get to safety.

Surely this is worth #FoxOfTheDay ?

I always think of Ferengis when I see women referred to as 'females'.

Sir, a second bird is at the feeder

Grey office chair occupied by a black and white cat

Husband's retirement meant the spare office chair was destined for a charity shop. Sophie has bagged it though, so now I have to walk round it, and her.

My trajectory of birds t-shirt never fails to get comments. Didn't realise it was still available - will direct people your way next time!

Amusingly we sometimes suggest a good archeological marker for the Anthropocene is gonna be the global layer of chicken bones in human trash
They will probably go with the layer of radioactive particles from nuke tests tho

Still waiting for the house martins here. Can't be long now.

Sadly, the HND in Practical Archaeology is no more, but there are now plenty of routes into the profession. Something for everyone with the alternatives described by @archaeologyuk.bsky.social

BBC Four - Art of Persia Broadcaster and journalist Samira Ahmed reveals the remarkable story of Iran.

I made a whole BBC TV series (2020) about the remarkable resilience of the people of Iran and their culture over centuries of threat and callous rule. You can watch it right here: www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

I heard about this when I was a kid & I stopped buying nestle choc, complained to my patients about nescafe & cereals; well, my kids grew up without nestle, I *STILL* will not buy it. It's an instinct now

I heard about it when my eldest daughter was a baby. Never knowingly bought Nestlé (or any of their 'partners') products since. Daughter is in her 30s now.

Good to see people haven't forgotten Nestlé's aggressive marketing of baby formula.

Meanwhile, on the moon...

I doubt he actually knows the significance of Good Friday. Or if he did once, he's forgotten it.

Very familiar with the Chickens of Uley. Didn't know about the incredible continuity of the site though!

Guardian headline: UK looks to relax planning rules for factory farms after industry lobbying.

Every day a fresh reminder that leaving the Labour Party was the right thing to do. Factory farming is a moral horror and an environmental disaster, and Labour seems incapable of resisting industry lobbyists in any field. The Wye is a toxic soup thanks to the chicken industry.

Hear me out. Keep the State Visit, but send Princess Anne instead.

Wot, me?

Yes, I like the smaller venues. KKs is a good size.
Hope you get to see PF some day - they're great live!

It was an excellent show, love PF.
I'd like to see Sabaton again too - it's been too long.

If you see this, post a concert photo that you took.

This is a great plan, Steve. Good luck, and if you ever plan to do Worcester parkrun I'll make sure I'm there 🙂

Birmingham O2 Academy last night to catch the very excellent Ferocious Dog on their farewell tour. Brilliant night - hope to see them later in the year too.

Did four years of Duolingo Swedish but still learnt more from Sabaton lyrics. #powermetal #carolusrex
