A great evening at @worcswt.bsky.social Trench Wood and surrounding land highlights including 5+marsh tit, buzzard, sparrowhawk, buzzard, 4+brown hare, and loads of roe Deer and hirundines.

We've been granted a permissions hearing at the High Court for our legal challenge against Angela Raynor's assertion that the Planning & Infrastructure Bill 'will not reduce environmental protections', which we say was both untrue & unlawful.
