Bluebells for all of you who are far away from Dorset banks and bluebell woods.

Bluebells for all of you who are far away from Dorset banks and bluebell woods.

Woke up this morning thinking I might just see one today because the weather feels right and I just have: MY FIRST SWALLOW!!! just perching on a wire between thatched cottages. Have you see one yet?

Willow Warblers refreshing themselves at the Alameda Gardens Gibraltar #Gibraltar as they take a break on their migratory journey between tropical Africa and northern Europe.

When modernity merges with nature. #pylons #trees

First bird of my day: a goldfinch darting through the pewter sky, clouds racing with it. #FirstBirdOfMyDay #WhatsYours

Stars bright. Crescent moon. Sky clear. Tawnies hooting. Two swallows seen earlier. Violets, bluebells, primroses in the Dorset banks….

Our swifts are on their way HOME to us, sleeping in the sky. 🌙

If you feel overwhelmed by the environment crisis on our doorstep in the UK and want to do something now, you can ask your election candidates to back the Climate and Nature Bill. Find out more ⬇️ @zerozeroing

I might be wrong (experts ⁦Gail Ashton 💚🪲🌍⁩ ⁦Dominic Couzens⁩ what do you reckon?) but perhaps this is an Alder leaf beetle party? I mean, it’s certainly a beetle party. #Hatch

Just saw a second SWALLOW with the first one - they’re chatting in the sky !

Ask your MP to challenge Michael Gove in HoC 22nd April:
'When will he finally commit to legislation requiring new builds to include swift bricks?'

First bird of my day: a blue tit, landing in the middle of a patch of forget-me-not. A whole little world of blue. #FirstBirdOfMyDay #WhatsYours

First bird of my day: a Dunnock in a cherry tree, framed by blossom. #FirstBirdOfMyDay #WhatsYours

Dear Michael Gove, swift bricks are a lovely win-win-win, a relatively easy tweak to regs, great politics for the Conservatives and a lovely little legacy for you. (If it happens, I'll think of you fondly every time a swift screams overhead, promise 😃)

First bird of my day: a pigeon flying over a magnolia tree, same tone as the sky, dedicated to a first birder who I got to meet last night The Adventures of Wendy - it is so much fun to meet in person. #FirstBirdOfMyDay #WhatsYours

This time 365 days ago the 100,000th person - a woman named Sarah who I met under the bridge of sighs in Oxford, signed #TheFeatherSpeech petition. I yelled skywards!

🪶THANK YOU TO EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU🪶

I will never give up (but it shouldn’t be this hard.)

Dear Michael Gove 1 year ago my petition reached the 100k signature target. The public, scientists, politicians led by Zac Goldsmith urge you to act. A swift brick requirement to Building Regs is drafted, ready. The housebuilders have no objections. We've done all you asked. So?

First bird of my day: a magpie, in the garden, which is unusual. #FirstBirdOfMyDay #WhatsYours
