I rarely use Twitter/X these days but the number of wildlife charities now having people publish AI generated articles is outstanding. When did the art of writing from passion and personal interests get lost?

Is ok to be jealous 😭😭
Whilst some of us have had a post-Birdfair break, our Marine Queen @BethClyne has been out monitoring Humpback Whale off the East Yorkshire coast 🐋 How incredible are these images! Beth is a Marine Medic and was ensuring the Whales were safe and not in any distress.

One thing I've been amazed about since moving to the North-east is the sheer amount of Red Valerian that's on roadsides - looks beautiful but always full of bees and butterflies 🦋
