I always check the birds in the trees by Lytchett Bay Rock Lea View feeding station from distance in case they all fly off, hoping for a Brambling. Was not expecting this Snow Bunting sat high in the trees!

Iranโ€™s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.

โ€˜Access to unsupervised time in wild nature is one of the most essential things we can give to any child, expanding young minds, and the very frontiers of whatโ€™s possible in later life.โ€™

Dozens killed as Israeli special forces raid Lebanese village in search of 40-year-old remains Overnight, one Israeli operation saw at least 41 people killed and 40 injured, according to the Lebanese health ministry.

In a world bristling with evil regimes, none is more thoroughly diabolical than the colonial โ€™stateโ€™ of Israel.

Where will itย end? On Saturday 7 March between 1 and 2pm ,on the Kirk Green, Broad Street, Kirkwall, islanders will gather in vigil for the people of Gaza. The vigils have been taking place since the end of October 2023. Occasionally a few people have expressed the opinion - What has this to do with Orkney ? - and Why are you still holding vigils for Gaza?

While climate collapse or war seem to be the greatest problems of our time, the loss of darkness is a subtle yet consequential issue. By losing our access to the starry skies, we are losing a piece of Us that has been with us since forever.
