#spawnmap updated Sunday 9th Feb
n = 21
Please log spawn sightings : teapawt.org/PondDip/status/1885751…
I will run #SpawnMap for 2025, with a few changes. I will NOT be chasing or looking myself for reports of spawn, to see what sample size I get. I will also NOT be submitting reports on behalf of others, including ones I'm tagged in.
HERE IT IS, please RT:

For those of you with dogs out there, please keep them on lead in longer grassy areas/nature reserves/woodland, as it’s very easy to disturb (and in some cases destroy) bird nests at this time of year. Thank you 🙏

If you missed the Aurora last night and / or would like another go, then it looks like there is a good chance we’ll have another display this evening.

For crying out loud!! @HfdsCouncil please do the right thing and throw this application on the Mediaeval midden where it belongs, along with the parish council! 🤬
A request to fell 2 protected pear trees in 'Pear Tree Close', Much Dewchurch, Herefordshire, as they attract wasps, has been supported by the parish council.
An application to fell the trees has been submitted to Herefordshire Council

Sorry everyone. 🙏
My stance hasn't changed, I'm still furious & heartbroken by birds dying in agony in netting used by the likes of @asda & @BandQ..
If you feel the same way, use this hashtag now = #TakeItDown in all your replies & quote tweets!
#TakeItDown for the birds.🐦

Michael O’Leary on Brexit: “Everything that was promised to the UK population, the sunny uplands, the ability to do trade deals everywhere around the world were shown to be a tissue of lies….mistakenly assumed there would be some competence at the top of the Govt under Johnson.'

Last year, a coworker randomly asked me to hand-deliver an antique violin across the country. I said yes, because why not. I had no idea what I was getting into, and now I need your help. A 🧵

Queen #Bees - HELP THEM OUT!
Another important thread concerning #bumblebee queens at this time of year!
Please #retweet/#share as every queen bee that survives gets to establish a nest that otherwise would not happen. This has knock on effects going forward. Let me explain.

Episode 4 of It's About Time tested my limited time management skills. For most of it all I had to do was watch YouTube in my underpants but the time just flew by. Still on track for one a week. Should be 6 episodes in total. thepasturepod.libsyn.com/its…

For those who don't fully understand what is up with the NHS, here is a thread for you that might help.
I'm a consultant physician working as a doctor in the NHS in Yorkshire and Wales for 32 years now. I have experienced the NHS at its best (2008) and its worst (2022).

Currently, NONE of our waterways (Lakes, Rivers and Coastal waters) are deemed to be in a “good state.” So to hear that the @EnvAgency have now pushed back plans to make our waters of “good state” to 2063, from the original target of 2027 is outrageous!
