Great view
It's a grim night on the Langstone Harbour seabird colony. (Live cam here: www.youtube.com/live/MB2DSJm...). About a third of the Sandwich Tern colony highlighted are feeding chicks now. They'll almost certainly be fine with this though, it's a minor inconvenience in the big scheme of things.

Reckless & destructive, do we know what’s coming for nature, green spaces & ourselves? ‘this bill betrays an undemocratic impatience with the people’ as well as nature… terrifying. @georgemonbiot.bsky.social delivers a fierce, unequivocal clarity, as ever: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Labour’s great nature sellout is the worst attack on England’s ecosystems I’ve seen in my lifetime | George Monbiot
The horrifying planning bill, which rips up environmental protections, was drafted with CEOs in mind. We know because Keir Starmer told us, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot
