War on nature effectively being conducted by successive UK govts is working, with continued bird decline
Supplemented by recent avian flu in seabirds
Farmland bird decline owing to loss of mixed farming, increased pesticide & fertiliser use, removal of hedgerows

😷 Bit unwell, so early for #WildflowerHour to make me feel better! 🤧
08:30 this morning a tractor with flail was cutting back hedgerows in the lane outside.

Good morning from Vermont. 🍁
These are the in-between days, the true cusp of the season. Autumn is sidling through the branches and hedgerows, daily brushing more of her bronze and gold into the green. Every falling leaf, every misty morning, ushers summer just a little further along the lane.

In Ireland, nature, be it forests or hedgerows, are only deemed valuable once they're cut down. It's capitalism and neoliberalism at its finest.

Good morning. It’s another gorgeous country lane for you today. Deep sides are always the best sort. Live thinking about all the creatures living in the hedgerows.

Early Autumn belongs to native Spindle 🧡
Its striking pink seed capsules are now beginning to split open, revealing bright orange seeds. Birds feast on the fruit and help disperse the seeds, spreading this beautiful native shrub through hedgerows, woodland edges and scrub. #FarnaghtWoodCoLeitrim

Pretty grim, but a worthwhile reminder of the importance of hedgerows in supporting so much biodiversity
‘Shocking and sobering’: UK bird populations fall to lowest level on record
‘Shocking and sobering’: UK bird populations fall to lowest level on record
Nearly half of species are in decline, with farmland birds and seabirds the worst hit, conservation bodies have said
Wild bird populations in the UK have fallen to their lowest level since records began, figures show, with nearly half of species in decline.
Figures produced by leading nature conservation bodies for the government show that average populations across 132 native breeding species fell by 19% between 1970 and 2025, with farmland birds and seabirds the worst hit in recent years. Continue reading...

It's such a wonderful place. I love the way the footpath to it has become a processional way. I was there 3 weeks ago and the hedgerows were full of autumn bounty - hips, haws, blackberries, sloes and wonderful crab apple trees.
It felt like we were preparing to visit Mother Earth.

Terrible news 😢
Wild bird populations in the UK have fallen to their lowest level since records began, with nearly half of species in decline.
Farmland bird populations have decreased by 63% since 1970. The decline is due to changes in farming, increased pesticide use, & the removal of hedgerows.

You could advocate for supporting local farms that don't use pesticide (good for wildlife and the workers) and that have hedgerows and wildlife habitat. Wild Farm Alliance does a lot of great work related to creating wildlife habitat on farms.
