So Labour say they won't install swift bricks because they are moving away from specific species mitigations to landscape level ones.

But swifts nest IN BUILDINGS. So how is landscape-level compensation supposed to help? Just ecologically illiterate nonsense 🤦‍♀️

"In December last year, Resolute 1850 Ltd was incorporated in the UK.

With a thinktank soon to be launched and funds from MAGA, American Big Tech and the US religious right already pledged, it seeks to use Reform as a vessel to bring Project 2025-style policies to the UK." 🤬

Israel has announced Gaza's survivors will be driven into a concentration camp.

They will be left with a choice: leave Gaza, or die.

No genocide was so documented or confessed to as it actually happened 👇

The #BirdingGear feed is a great idea by @stevedudley.bsky.social

Is it worth including companies that offer great service to birders?

Steve has spoken highly of www.trekitt.co.uk

The Birder’s Store have always been brilliant for me. Great advice, prices and service. @birdersstore.bsky.social

Next stop was Namaqualand NP where this photo sums up the #birds & flowers well: stunning! The Southern Black Korhaan was croaking his 'song' in a sea of Namaqualand Daisies. While searching shows there's a diversity of flowers to be found up, superabundance in the disturbed areas is spectacular! 🌿
