Great to be invited to missing lynx dinner last night. At the top of society people want change that helps nature. Ordinary folk and kids are also enthusiastic. The systems we have in place in Britain just don't deliver. All to often their only function is to say no.

Did u know? We mustn't all panic this season when aphids appear in our gardens. Leave these little sap suckers be, because they're re food for everything else - Ladybirds, Lacewings & Wasps AND they feed young nestlings. Don't spray, celebrate. Whoop! 🙌🌱🌿🌍🪲🐦⬛🐙

The reason I haven’t written for ages is that I appear to have fallen into one of my own novels but in real life. Our community is trying to save our bay from exploitation of adventure tourism -but we are fighting authorities who should be looking after it.

This is excellent news. Let's hope the £17-£20 million saved from the national police budget is used to chase down those certificate-holding gamekeepers who continue to illegally shoot and kill birds of prey in the UK.

This is so mistaken and perverse. We need a BAN on driven grouse shooting. Not licensing, which gives a stamp of approval to an activity that will always be destructive and cruel.

We need grouse moor licensing in England now.
It's time for new legislation to make it happen.
