It's a farewell #FlyDay to the wonderful Swifts... already headed on their epic journeys south!

Safe travels, friends, we’ll be waiting for you next summer. 🌍
A single Swift soars gracefully against a clear blue sky, wings arched like a crescent. Its brown plumage catches the light as it glides. A fleeting summer visitor, already on its long journey south.

🤯 Once again, the Government sides with big developers—while blaming nature. Stop rewarding corporations, start protecting communities.

🌱 Good developers build with nature, not against it. Families across the UK want a thriving, healthier nature-rich future.

Beavers are one of nature’s most awesome ecological engineers and their return to this area marks a big win for nature, climate and people.

Huge congratulations to @treesforlife.bsky.social whose tireless work made this possible.

Weakening wildlife protections will not deliver growth – the evidence shows they are not what holds up development. Undermining these safeguards risks eroding the natural assets our economy depends on. www.bats.org.uk/news/2025/08...
Once again, bats are blamed for Britain’s planning woes – but the evidence tells a different story - News - Bat Conservation Trust
Reports in several news outlets today suggest that bats and other protected species are once again being framed as obstacles to development by the Chancellor Rachel Reeves.

This week's shaping up to be a scorcher for many across the UK. ☀️

Here are four ways to help your garden visitors stay cool this summer. 👇
A colourful graphic titled 'Help wildlife beat the heat' with illustrations and tips on creating natural habitats. Tips include letting grass grow long to provide cool refuge for insects, planting shrubs for shade, setting up shallow water stations for hydration, and creating muddy puddles to help nesting birds, amphibians and reptiles. The scene depicted shows a garden for wildlife, with long grass, pools of water, trailing plants and a muddy puddle set against a fence. The sun is pictured in the top right in orange hues.
