Swifts have lost more than half their pop in 20 years. A simple Β£35 brick in new builds could help save them. Labour used to support this – now they’re planning to backtrack. Sign the petition to show them the public still backs this nature-friendly fix: act.38degrees.org.uk/act/swi…

I’m not going to lie, when I read the headlines: American Pope, my heart sank. I haven’t heard his name among the papabile, I thought of all those reactionary Trumpians and I was like: β€œwhat??!!”. Oh me of little faith, right? I should’ve known better. May God bless Pope Leo XIV.

Most people think they’re just decorative guards in funny uniforms. But the truth? They’re trained killers who’d take a bullet for the Popeβ€”without blinking. Let me show you what 99% of people miss about the Swiss Guard. πŸ§΅πŸ‘‡

#popefrancisfuneral As a practicing Catholic I’m used to the order of the mass and I really enjoyed the Dean’s homily (speech) about Pope Francis but the bit that got me teary was the Byzantine choir. So beautiful and spiritual.

A few absences from my regulars (dunnocks and great spotted woodpecker, I’m talking to you!), but definitely an improvement from my first time, four years ago when I had only a coat tit and a carrion crow in one hour! πŸ˜‚ @Natures_Voice #BigGardenBirdWatch

Are you taking part in the @rspb Big Garden Bird Watch this weekend? We thought we'd share some of the different species of songbirds you might see in your garden. #Gardensforbirds #BigGardenBirdWatch

Spent the morning checking the people I follow here and like are either on Threads or Bluesky. The great majority is in one or the other. Freedom is within sight …
