People are hoping to create a #ForceForNature & meet with their MSs (19-23 May, in-person or virtually) to tell them how important wildlife is to them. They'll ask their politicians to champion a #NaturePositive Bill with robust targets that will ensure the recovery of biodiversity.

What a week!🌞
It started with my first swallow of the year and ended with hearing the first cuckoo. And in-between was a pied flycatcher, a redstart, a woodpecker drumming, a basking slow worm, blackthorn blossom across the hillside and banks of primroses

Thought there'd been a shaving foam fight in the woods today 🧐😁

Obviously the perfect conditions for the formation of hair ice / ice wool / frost beard ❄🤍
