Early this year a beautiful Oak Tree across from us was felled. It was such a shock, we had no knowledge of it happening until it was too late. My husband saved a stump, which is in our garden. It is now full of tiny life 🍄 If any one can tell me the name of this tiny toadstool, I'd be most grateful

WTF? This costs just £35 per building
What is the matter with this government?
They look to be fighting a war against nature on behalf of the developers
Indefensible, despicable and stupid

Labour blocks proposal for ‘swift bricks’ in all new homes
MPs had previously backed Conservative amendment to ask developers to provide hollow bricks for endangered birds

Labour promised to restore nature. ❌
Instead, their Planning Bill contains a licence to destroy it.
We offered solutions. We’re done waiting.
Part 3 of the Bill would gut the laws protecting our most precious habitats & species.
Without significant change, it must be scrapped.

Frank the Wood Pidgeon walked down the garden path and actually came up to the door to protest the lack of bird food in the feeder. There are 2 other full feeders but that's his favourite 😂 I love these birds, so full of character

It’s here...The light is rising. The birds are too.
Wherever you are... take a moment. Pause. Listen.
You’re part of the dawn chorus.
Record it. Share it. What do you hear? Let’s fill this thread with birdsong. 🍃🎵

A quiet countryside?
No thanks. Give us sound and song.
This Sunday is International Dawn Chorus Day.
Make a plan to set an early alarm, head to your favourite nature spot and plug your ears into the greatest song of all.

My favourite time of day at my favourite time of year. There is something so special about forcing yourself outside, wrapped in blankets, with a cuppa tea at 4.30am to hear the birds welcome in the day ❤️
