Woman’s Hour travels to Tuam, Ireland ahead of preliminary excavations of a former mother & baby home site.
In 2014, it was found that up to 796 babies who died there from 1925-1961 were buried in a disused ‘sewage tank’.

It has taken me almost 3 years to get official sign-off. But today beavers became formally classed as Endangered in UK's regional @IUCNRedList@Mammal_Society. This is because populations are still small and fragmented, with some threat of persecution @AliDriverUK (c. P Dibben)
I’m watching my train leave in 5 mins and I’m not on it because I apparently didn’t arrive early enough for staff to get the ramp.

Everyone on that bus made their train.

Please don't cut back ivy if tidying your garden! Around this time of year its flowers are a fantastic late season pit-stop for struggling pollinators like bees, butterflies, hoverflies and moths 🐝
