With @Keir_Starmer pledging to unite Britain&build back a nation’s & trust in government brick by brick I hope @UKLabour show the nature leadership we so badly need starting with the easiest act: mandating swift bricks. In Labour’s hands is swifts’ existence.

Whoever is elected will have the power to destroy nature or recover it. They will have the existence of many species including swifts in their hands. And we will give them that power.

Approaching this week with the supreme confidence of a gull riding a swan.

Dear @BBCNews we would like to know why you didn’t cover a major news event in #London yesterday. Between 60-100 THOUSAND people marched at the #RestoreNatureNow. It looks like you are picking what you think is newsworthy. Isn’t that called bias? Regards, British wildlife.

Labour pledges to ban foie gras imports. FINALLY. How we can enjoy this knowing how it has been made is beyond me. @LibDems what is your decision on this? thetimes.com/uk/politics/art…

‘we stand at a moment in history when nature needs us to defend it’ - @SteveReedMP 👏 how about pledging to mandate swift bricks - urgently essential nesting habitat for rapidly declining 🐦⬛- as part of @UKLabour access to nature&urban biodiversity pledges?

It is such an honour to be a part of this beautiful and heartwarming film about a man’s connection with a wild otter. Billy & Molly: An Otter Love Story premieres on National Geographic on May 6th and will be streaming on Disney on May 7th. 🦦❤️

2 swifts spotted flying over Barnes yesterday. THEY ARE COMING HOME. Yet @michaelgove has yet to greenlight the simple swift brick measure to allow them to have a home in Britain. By 2025, the BTO estimates there will be fewer than 40,000 pairs remaining.

NEW: paper from @Cambridge_Uni and WWT confirms the widespread use of toxic lead shot - despite an industry pledge to phase it out 🚫
93% of pheasants destined for dinner tables were killed using lead shot in the 2023/24 season. wwt.org.uk/news-and-stories/…

Lead is a highly toxic substance.
☠️ It kills wildlife
🌿 It pollutes habitats
🤮 It damages human health
🐶 It contaminates pet food
But (amazingly!) it's still legal to use lead ammunition in many places.

We're in danger of losing one of our most iconic winter visitors.
A warming climate means fewer Bewick's swans are completing their winter migration to the UK.
Their arrival at @WWTSlimbridge this year was the latest since 1965.
