Climate breakdown is driven by a storm of lies. This lying is systemic, funded and coordinated, and operates across almost all media, old and new.

A close view of a drake Shoveler today that shows the structure of its bill. Their wide flat bill is equipped with lamellae – small, comb-like structures on the edge of the bill that act like a sieve, allowing the birds to strain plankton from the water.

The majority of Britons think important places for nature should have stronger protections.
Only 2% think protections should be weakened... yet that’s where ministers keep pushing.

During the last week there has been a small flock off Ruff at Pett Level. They are usually roosting or feeding with the much larger flock of Lapwing.
Here are 4 flight images which show just one of the smaller females - they tend to migrate further... to Africa.
