Some reflections on yesterday’s Restore Nature Now . . . #RestoreNatureNow

You know I love the BBC & celebrate all the things we pay our licence fee for . But yesterday whilst 100K peaceful people marched to demonstrate their love for life all I could find on BBC News (UK) was a selfie of the gas-guzzling Taylor Swift . Im sorry but thats a disgrace

Tweet of the day Chris Packham - Collaboration - together in the roads of London and in spirit - briefly ours for nature, this next government ‘must’ hear the calls, must act & act now - foot to the floor from day 1 - the puffins are watching. #nature Extinction Rebellion Global Surfers Against Sewage

Politicians ‘wake up’ -opening new oil and gas fields is madness ‘IT’S A CLIMATE AND NATURE EMERGENCY!’ - it’s like snorting coke off the steering wheel whilst being chased by the police - we know it won’t end well and it’s no good being sorry after the fact . #actnow Restore Nature Now

Still reflecting on a wonderful Saturday in London - what a march - so many great conversations and so much potential for more collaboration and creative work to raise awareness - ‘Restore Nature Now’ Restore Nature Now Chris Packham RSPB Extinction Rebellion Global

Drawing on the 🚋 underground - Piccadilly Line - whizzing into London for the evening to see daughter Haz perform in the ‘Opera Scenes’ end of year show Guildhall School of Music & Drama - brilliant. Here a selection of commuters #draw #drawings #sketchbook #underground #duncancameron #art

Brilliant exhibition Royal Holloway - ‘The Cave Hunters and the Truth Machine’ - a bit of a pilgrimage from the SW but I love artist Sean Harris’s animation and am of course a huge fan of Danielle Schreve and the dig team doing such great work. #iceage #palaeontology #animation

Drawing at Oxford University Natural History Museum- Oxford University Museum of Natural History - & - @pittriversmuseum - on Sunday.

Drawing more Commuters - Piccadilly Line tube yesterday - 24 hours in London to see daughter Haz in the wonderful, if unsettling, BYO ‘The Rape of Lucretia’ - all set in the tunnel underground Brunel Museum - claustrophobic, dark and intense. #tfl #picadillyline #drawing #draw

Toad - France last night, under the table, the Charente, with rain in the air. Love toads with their inward pointing feet and beautiful golden eyes. #toads #toad #amphibians #commontoad #france #holidaytoad

Asian Hornet ‘Vespa velutina’ - (*in France) - in the Charente. Dead specimen. Trying to make a few sketches, but can’t find my magnifying glass - smaller than the European hornet but significantly bigger than the wasps the wall lizards are eating. #asianhornet #hornet #bbka

Q: Why am I being asked to pay 45p more for a small cup of coffee Caffè Nero when I asked for oat milk? And 20p when I sit down with a real cup not an unrecyclable paper and plastic one? #savetheplanet #environment #coffee #Sustainability #plantbased #rightsideofhistory
