1 week today the cross-party Climate and Nature Bill #CANBill is debated in Parliament. Will we have enough MPs there to vote it through? We don't know 😕
It's not too late to write to your MP to ask them to clear their diary and commit. Template provided by @zero-hour.bsky.social ⤵️

Is it a spaceship? No, it's a Squid, feeding at night under the Palace Pier in Brighton, as photographed by Paul Parsons, who says:
"Night dives are like being in space - the water column is full of creatures."
A reminder of beauty in the dark this winter solstice

Happy Winter Solstice to all in the northern hemisphere.
The turn of the year's tide, a pivot-point, a day of hope—when the dark stops rising & after which the Sun begins its slow climb back.
A day I celebrate more than Christmas or New Year.
Fiat lux!

It's important to keep bird feeders clean to help stop the spread of diseases. Try to clean them regularly, ideally once a week.
