#SaudiArabia: State execution of journalist Turki Al-Jasser after 7 years of imprisonment is another blatant disregard of justice. He was arrested & detained on 15 March 2018 over posts on X and executed on 14 June

I am very very angry and depressed...
Terrible news! Between 2021 & 2024 the ban on hunting turtle doves allowed the population to increase 25% - an astronomical speed of recovery. Before that numbers had been plummeting. Turtle dove population in the UK shrank by 98% between 1994 & 2021.
🚨 BREAKING: Turtle-dove hunting season reopens!

The EU Commission just gave the green light for EU countries to resume the hunt for European Turtle-doves, ending a 3-year pause.

This is reckless, short-sighted and will take this bird back to the brink.
