Worcestershire is still very lacking in decent rain , local streams dried to a stop and a lots of ponds dried up still. This pool at uckinghall worcs is about 40cm below the May month level of water, truly astonishing where the waters gone.

Simple bit of wire with a loop on the end to hang apples for feeding the birds. Lucky to see this regular visitor a blackcap male 😍@Britnatureguide @NatureUK @Team4Nature @RSPBEngland @iNatureUK @britishbirds

Listening, let’s hope so but doubt it
What we must do immediately: 1) End the use of fossil fuels 2) Build massive amounts of solar & wind 3) Electrify everything 4) Localize 5) Conserve 5) Find solutions for the last hard stuff (planes, cement) 6) Stop cutting down forests #ActOnClimate buff.ly/3r2I3Ee

For every 1°C of warming the atmosphere absorbs 7% more water. If you want to know what happens to that water, ask the people in Killeybegs, Donegal in Ireland 🇮🇪 who are suffering from it today.

Boris effing Johnson who scrapped the pandemic response force and this is what happened to our oh so brave nhs staff... Really hope he never sleeps easy ever again.😡
Prof @Kevin_Fong giving the most devastating and moving testimony to the Covid Inquiry of visiting hospital intensive care units at the height of the second wave in late Dec 2020. The unimaginable scale of death, the trauma, the loss of hope. Please watch this 2min clip.

Such a massive gambol of this not happening is worrying to say the least. Other sections in this read are very illuminating 🧐……Gulf Stream could collapse as early as 2025, study suggests | Climate crisis | The Guardian. theguardian.com/environment/…

Black-headed cardinal beetle. Toxic to birds perhaps why I could see it easily fifteen feet away🙂#beetles @Team4Nature @NatureUK @AboutInsects @BritishBugs @wildlife_uk @WildlifeTrusts

A must plant for goldfinches etc verbena bonariensis, also much loved by butterflies. Plant end of may and leave the seed heads on plant over winter. @NatureUK @Team4Nature @LGSpace @WildlifeTrusts @britishbirds
