A lil' easter treat for you 🥚 A white-tailed eagle at Holme earlier this week! These birds are GIGANTIC - peep the kites for scale 🪁 Gary Hibberd 📸

Beautiful, heart-wrenching and ultimately hopeful. If you're seeking an amazing film, please watch A New Kind of Wilderness. It was a total privilege to interview Nik Payne and his family (and they are set to appear at special UK screenings next week) theguardian.com/film/2025/apr/…

Just swam in the River Bure, and gave thanks to it. Still feel self-conscious saying it but thanks to IS A RIVER ALIVE? for changing my mindset. So, massive spring highlight – Robert Macfarlane is speaking in Norwich, May 12, it will be brilliant, tix here: norwichartscentre.co.uk/event/green-sh…

My friend Beth Rigby is running the London Marathon, raising money for the brilliant North London hospice, which provides much-needed end-of-life care. She's raised more than £13,000 already. If this is a cause close to your heart, her fundraiser is here justgiving.com/page/beth-rigb…

Excellent article by ⁦Patrick Barkham⁩ on the fabulous, courageous ⁦Hannah Bourne-Taylor’s heroic fight for swifts. Honoured that the GCSE gets a mention.⁩ ​‘The hypocrisy is staggering’: will swift bricks fall prey to government fears of Reform? theguardian.com/environment/20…

It's such a simple positive step for nature – a £35 hollow brick in every new home for endangered cavity-nesting birds, especially marvellous swifts. Builders in favour too. All Labour MPs have to do is vote for a Labour MP's amendment to make it happen. theguardian.com/environment/20…

This is brilliant. Come and listen to Rob in person at Epic Studios, Norwich, next Monday... norwichartscentre.co.uk/event/green-sh…

Join me for a fabulous day out hunting for swallowtails on the Norfolk Broads. The weekend break is sold out but day trips on Tues 10th and Weds 11th June still available greenwings.co/our-holidays... (magical pic by one of our former guests Andrew Fusek Peters)

Profoundly depressing story but profoundly excellent soundbite from Ruth Tingay > “Imagine flattening... the Royal Albert Hall, replacing it with karaoke machines in various towns and then telling the public this is a ‘win-win’ for architecture and music." theguardian.com/environment/20…

"Imagine flattening an irreplaceable grade I listed building like the Royal Albert Hall, replacing it with karaoke machines in various towns and then telling the public this is a ‘win-win’ for architecture and music" theguardian.com/environment/20…

I've interviewed Tony Juniper, Natural England chair. He was necessarily diplomatic about the planning bill. I only hope central govt listens to his expert advice! theguardian.com/environment/20…
