Rescued a few plants from a friend’s late father’s conservatory recently. Amongst them was this Crinum lily, sown from seed 31 years ago!

If you don’t want the planning laws that protect nature weakened, please consider signing this petition - petition.parliament.uk/petitions/72...
Petition: Stop the Planning and Infrastructure Bill 2025 to Protect Nature
We think the Planning and Infrastructure Bill 2025 threatens irreplaceable habitats, weakens environmental protections, and ignores pressures on public services. We urge the Government to withdraw it to protect nature and our communities.

Dear @greenparty.org.uk. What on earth do your MPs think they’re doing by voting in favour of the Planning & Infrastructure Bill? It is a developers charter for ecological destruction. At the same time you’re running a nature in crisis campaign. You’re giving out seriously mixed messages here.
Nature is in Crisis - Support our Green Party campaign

Lovely walk around Norfolk Wildlife Trust’s Royston Common reserve this morning. Incredible to think that 20 years ago this view didn’t exist due to the dense conifer plantation that had been planted on the heathland.

This is the sort of ill-informed and sloppy reporting that drives me (and probably other ecologists) mad. Three common pipistrelles were recorded roosting in the building. Low level of use, easy mitigation outlined in the EIA. Will it sink the pool plan? No. Does it give bats a bad rap? Yes.

A bizarre find yesterday. Presumed muntjac remains with a flexible blue plastic stake through the skull and down the spine.

Length of exposed chain on Salthouse beach yesterday. Local legend has it that it leads to a massive plug which, if removed, drains the entire North Sea.
