My musings on common land, the wildlife around my Norfolk home, my night walks and the state of the world continue on Substack - take a look if you have time.

Night Walk, Twelfth Night
I’ve been up before dawn every day of the past week, watching a the moon turn the snow and ice on the common into a glittering land.

Amazing to be here at Mayflower Studios in Southampton for a book reading. After 30 years, Twyford Down still arouses strong emotions among many.

Dusk on the Dingle Marshes in Suffolk.

Reed tips skimmed by marsh harriers, the bass notes of bitterns, out there, somewhere. A splash that might an otter.

So many reasons to #defendnature.

Guided by the light. I have watched this ash grow larger, crazier & slowly closer to the ground for two decades.

I used to take kids to see if they could leap high enough to touch it, now it is lower to the ground and they are taller than me.

Iron Age tracks trodden by badgers, glimpses of hares and red deer stags. Stories of Saxon turf cutting and a forgotten mill hidden in the land. And the wild, meandering river Dove, seen in the company of @timholtwilson.bsky.social.

With the Clean Air Act under attack, it’s not the environment we have to save but the EPA.
#PoliticalCartoon #EditorialCartoon #EnvironmentalSatire #Yosemite #TrumpEPA #OldGrowth #Deforestation #SaveTheForests #PoliticalSatire #ClimateCrisis #EPA #BlueskyArt #DefendNature #PublicLands
A political cartoon titled “A VIEW TO A KILL” shows a father holding his young son at a Yosemite overlook. He points to the forest below, saying, “See those old growth trees? Daddy gets to cut them down.” Nearby, a smoke-belching truck labeled “TRUMP” and “EPA” is loaded with axes, chainsaws, and a “FOR SALE” sign, with a red dollar sign on the door. Iconic Yosemite cliffs loom in the background. The scene satirizes environmental destruction and regulatory capture.

Send a postcard today and show your MP you stand for nature. Use the link below to send a real card directly to their Westminster office and add your own message, such as the importance of protecting nature-rich areas through the planning system. #DefendNature

Could not agree more.

Ornamental wildlife trade is a scourge.

Driving species closer to the brink for such a frivolous purpose is disgraceful.

Deep-sea dwelling nautiluses have been around for about 500 million years, but they are now at risk thanks to humans using their shells for decor and accessories, readily available for purchase on Etsy and eBay.

To be clear… corals were some of the first animals to evolve billions of years ago. And we are destroying them. We all need to care about this and end fossil fuel use now.

Remember, when they go, we go. So, let’s #DefendNature as if our lives depend on it.

Populations of 2 seal species in the Antarctic have shrank by about half since 1977.

It’s due to climate change, which we cause and have the power to curb.

Remember: We are all interconnected.

When they go, we go.

The US Endangered Species Act remains one of the most effective environmental laws ever.

2 big reasons why are the requirements for (1) recovery plans, incl. habitat protections, for all listed species and (2) for all decisions to be science-based.

Hopefully, the consequences will include durable legal protection for the 🇺🇸’s most beautiful places & ecosystems and for all threatened species.

Thank you for understanding that we must #DefendNature as if our lives depend on it. And for walking the walk.

I just ❤️ you for that.
