So depressing - the proposal was just for one brick in each new house to have a bird sized hole in it theguardian.com/environment/20…

A great listen - thanks to Hannah Bourne-Taylor for nominating RSPB founder Emily Williamson, and to Matthew Parris for bringing together Hannah with the fab Tessa Boase who has done so much to tell Emily's story and Rebecca Speight who is now at the head of the flock!

70% of UK land is farmed. If we want nature to recover, this is where it happens. Farmers like James Rebanks are already doing it – farming with wildlife, not against it. But without proper funding, we risk losing it all. Rachel Reeves: increase funding, grow our future.

We're on a precipice. He's right. Watch this with yr head and yr heart. Resilience. The work he describes is essential and we need more of it, not less. And we'll go badly backwards without enough public funding to make that public good possible Steve Reed MP Rachel Reeves

Care of this week's RSPB England Forest of Bowland National Landscape Wader survey I bring you a #Crapbirdphotooftheday triple-header.... a #Curlew, an Oystercatcher and a Lapwing chick...although you may have to take my word for it on the latter.... RSPB Annie Shadrake

Highlights of this week's surveys were the discovery of an Oystercatcher nest in which a chick had started to chip it's way out of the first of three eggs, and a #Woodcock survey feat. an actual Woodcock BTO Tilhill Forestry RSPB England Jude Lane Dominick Spracklen Kate Ashbrook

Well that sums it up effectively. Looking forward to your answer Keir Starmer big call - much at stake.

Ecologists are clear: the Planning Bill torches environmental safeguards. My proposals would stop developers trashing nature. The failed developer-led model won't deliver affordable homes. We need a progressive alternative: a public-led plan to deliver homes & protect nature.

Time for another round of Nature or No Nature! Angela Rayner, you said Labour's planning bill would be a win for nature. Yet your environmental watchdog says the opposite. To help clear up the confusion, your question now...

Woop! Everyone - we’ve got a chance to save swifts. Our home is their home. Please use your voice!

I urge the Government to back my Planning & Infrastructure Bill amendments. We were promised a win-win for nature and growth - we got a developer’s charter that will destroy nature. Let’s change course and deliver for workers and wildlife. theguardian.com/politics/2025/…

It’s Nature or No Nature! Steve Reed MP, we cheered when you said: “Without nature thriving, there can be no long-term food security.” We couldn’t agree more…so with that in mind…

Since Angela Rayner hasn’t answered, we will. When the Office for Environmental Protection called the Planning & Infrastructure Bill a “regression” they were: D) Absolutely right. ✅

Thanks to our volunteers… Nature has a fighting chance. Puffins are fledging. Swifts are soaring. Reedbeds are booming. And children are falling in love with the wild. Here’s to you. A thread... 🧵 1/7

I presented my petition to Parliament urging changes to the Planning and Infrastructure Bill. We are custodians of our natural environment, it is our national heritage. It’s not too late for the Government to accept my proposals. We must not let developers destroy nature.

Putting solar panels on new builds It's just common sense. ☀️🏠

Clearly, the answer for Steve Reed MP is A)! Back the system that makes food possible: nature. Fewer bees, less crops and degraded soil = our food and economy pays the price. Farmers working with nature deliver real value, £3.60 for every £1. So what are we waiting for?

The swift brick amendment will be voted on next week. Please use your voice. Email [email protected] just saying PLEASE MANDATE SWIFT BRICKS!

"The [Planning] Bill, which is currently making its way through Parliament, has the potential to deal a devastating blow to nature, and to our futures, if it passes unamended". Powerful words from my friends the RSPB Youth Council. Please read! rspb.org.uk/whats-happenin…
