Just seen my first Brimstone butterfly of the year. That gorgeous yellow colour of the wings always makes me smile. π
Good news: Condors almost certainly incubating egg in northern California www.yahoo.com/news/article...
Here was one of my Condor moments, in Arizona 9 and 10 June 2011 markavery.info/blog/archive...
More than 16,000 new species are discovered annually according to research at The University of Arizona. This is important if we are to protect species going forward but exciting to think what else there is to discover. π
Haven't seen Barron Trump signing up to fight for his country. π€
At physio yesterday, I spoke to people with varying health conditions and the message from everyone was the same. There is a negative and toxic message aimed at people with disabilities, talking down to people, making them feel worthless. Not acceptable!
Wonderful day for the Greens. What a win and a new MP to represent powerful positive politics. π
Can we please have good nature news because it is right and proper not just so it gets nature lovers on side before the May elections?

There's a #BREXIT debate in Westminster Hall right now. Β£250m in lost taxes per day! Per day!
Brexit was a shambles then and a ball and chain round our feet now.
If you go down to the woods today, you might just be in for a surprise. In woodlands around Northern England and Scotland, something is taking place thatβs leaving grey squirrels with a fluorescent pink tinge.

Bad politics
The evidence is rooted in science and yet, climate change is becoming increasingly politicised. Here in the UK, political parties such as Reform UK call efforts to make important changes to adapt to or to halt climate change βNet Stupid Zeroβ. This constant derision..

I have been studying climate change for years - as a writer, and as an environmentalist. It is becoming impossible to ignore the changes, both here in the UK and globally. But why does it seem as if the fight to protect against the extremes of climate change is fizzling out?

It is the battle of the Giants.... the GIANTS of NASTINESS - Nigel Farage and Rupert Lowe. The only good thing I can see about Lowe's new Restore Britain is it divides the toxic right-wing vote. Neither party will protect the average person. Unless you are wealthy, or famous, forget it. #politics

One queue of people - comforting lies. Packed out. No one going to the table on unpleasant truths.
COVID/Climate Change. Sadly we are still here⦠this is the attraction of populists.
Exactly. It is sickening what women go through and women should be sticking together fighting these crimes not selecting those who can get away with it.
Hatred is growing in the UK. We must all be prepared to stand up against it. I won't be intimidated and will always call out toxic rhetoric.
I have been told to leave my country because I said that all RAPE/SA/MURDER whether caused by migrants or British white men should be dealt the same punishments. Target the crime! This was from a Tommy Robinson female supporter on a Restore Britain thread. Apparently, I am a part of the problem.

Yesterday, between the rain drops, I wandered around the mud-soggy garden, squelching between the flower beds and sighed at the work left to do to create some sort of beauty in a rain-wracked space. But then I saw something that gave me some hope.

Climate change deniers like MPs in Reform UK are dangerous. They would rather have fossil fuel donations than care about the future of this country or the planet.
