"little public pressure to act: “The leaking is invisible to the public eye … nobody cares [about the leaks], nobody knows, nobody can see. Those materials should not be in the soil … we need electricity but we also need the environment &c.” theguardian.com/environment/…

Hot weather alert: #SwiftAwarenessWeek - if you see a swift (of any age) on the ground, it needs help as it won’t be able to take off from the ground even if it looks like it’s developed enough to fly. They need expert help so if you find one, tell me so I can connect you to help

This 👇 from @WildJustice_org is very welcome I do not know how the Govt can continue to claim that the bill is a "win-win" for development and nature, when not a single nature policy geek I know, or @OfficeforEP agrees theguardian.com/politics/202…

Nature group threatens judicial review against Labour’s planning bill

Wild Justice says bill would reduce environmental protections and calls on Angela Rayner to correct statement saying it will not

Cormorants are being blamed for fish declines caused by pollution, habitat loss, and overfishing. Now, a draft EU plan proposes killing them en masse—ignoring science and targeting nature to protect profits. When will we stop scapegoating wildlife for our own failures?

This swift lost its nesting cavity due to construction work. It doesn’t understand and keeps coming back, still looking, brushing against the wall, trying to cling to it. This behavior usually lasts about ten days 1/2
