Pressure is mounting on Steve Reed MP and The Labour Party as they are set to allow up to 28,000 badgers to be culled despite a manifesto pledge to end the "ineffective" badger cull. Please RT widely as we continue to ask that the badger cull ends.

Breaking: Scotland’s Flow Country wins UNESCO 🏛️ #Education #Sciences #Culture 🇺🇳 World Heritage status! 🥳 This is huge. Including RSPB Forsinard Flows, the Flow Country is a vital carbon sink and habitat for precious wildlife. It's the first ever peat bog to gain this status, too 🏆

Silver-washed Fritillaries enjoying a Buddleia on the edge of Naburn Wood near York this morning. Also, Comma, Peacock, Red Admiral, Large White etc. Good to see lots of butterflies.

1/2 - 2 of the 4 juvenile marshies at RSPB Otmoor are stunning partial leusistic birds! One mostly white and one half white with a black bar along it's wings. They have a lighter coloured gold cap too, amazing birds to see and I hope their feathers are strong enough Oxford Ornithological Society

An unexpected find among countless odonata at North Cave Wetlands this afternoon was this Lesser Emperor Dragonfly, flying around nearby just about long enough for some record shots at Cell 1A. A 1st for the reserve and my 1st in Yorkshire! North Cave Wetlands Yorkshire Wildlife Trust - follow us on Bluesky 🦋

Britain is seeing wave of right wing thuggery, hate crime and rioting. This is the result of Nigel Farage. This is the result of Suella Braverman. This is the result of GB News and the Daily Fail. Let's show that love is louder than hate! RT if you stand against racism!

Fantastic to see a Curlew (having recovered from a broken wing) released & take to the skies in the #LDV this morning - another great job by Jean & Battle Flatts Vets - each & everyone of these birds is so precious. Hopefully this one can go onto breed & add to the population 🐦

Anybody know a reliable site for Beautiful Demoiselle in Yorkshire please? I know they're over near Scarborough but not sure of an accessible location. Many thanks! York. Dragonfly Grp.
