Tragic. Preventable. Final.
The Slender-billed Curlew is officially extinct, declared today by the IUCN. On our watch.
We are technically brilliant and carelessly blind.
Sit with the silence. Then fight for what remains. #Extinction #BiodiversityCrisis #Curlews

This is the story of my daughter Milly & Lyme Disease. There was no rash, no "summer flu", NHS blood tests negative. And she's been ill for a quarter of her life. theguardian.com/world/2025/s… Thanks @UKLyme @LymeResourceCtr for raising UK awareness. NHS must take this more seriously.
