It is amazing how far bird song AI identification has come and how quickly. I remember being told it would be impossible! #Honeygar bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…


If anyone could summon up the genius of Shane MacGowan it fell to Nick Cave and a brilliant violinist… and they did 😢

Fascinating insights from @isabella_tree on @KneppWilding - and good interviewers like @stephensackur on @BBCHARDtalk are so rare!

You put your case really well, and Stephen's challenging approach helped that. Having visited Knepp in June it is a rare and precious jewel, but more are needed, taken from marginally productive land, and these need to join up-and it IS important you can make money from it!



How much more of this can we take? Imagine working at @NaturalEngland when the government listens to lobby and special interest groups rather than the actual expert body set up specifically to protect ‘natural England ‘?

Somerset’s lesser known but important coastline.

It's #NationalMarineWeek! 🌊💙 Despite the name, National Marine Week takes place between 22nd July - 6th August (two weeks!), and we'll be using it as an excuse to celebrate Somerset's #WilderCoast! Start learning more about our coast: somersetwildlife.org/what-we-do/cre…

A good age, but sadly there will be no more wonderful prose from Cormac. My favourite book is Suttree and I still read the opening chapter just to marvel at the flow of novel adjectives! Cormac McCarthy, celebrated US novelist, dies aged 89 theguardian.com/books/2023/jun…
