Inheritance tax on farmers & VAT on private schools has had more coverage on Radio4 in the last few months than the explosion in need for foodbanks has received in the last 10 years. #wato

It's totally dark now but the noise is something else! @ScottoftheMarsh counted in 2,200 which is around 5% of the total Icelandic Whooper Swan population, roosting here on this tiny farm reservoir under the cover of darkness in the Fens! 6/7

Joined the Hawfinch club today with a bird in with a Redwing flock in Morton-on-Swale. Really good movement of thrushes, single Whooper Swan and 174 Pinkfeet north. @nybirdnews

As the dust settles after yesterday's reforming #budget2024, it's time to look at what the reforms to Agricultural Property Relief (APR) from Inheritance Tax (IHT) actually mean, instead of the toys out of the pram reaction from a section of the farming community. A short 🧵 1/7

Ik deel hier vaker radarbeelden van vogeltrek, maar die van gisteravond van radar Den Helder (KNMI) zijn toch wel heel bijzonder: vogels wachten op de Waddeneilanden en in Noord-NL de schemering af, om dan massaal over steken naar Engeland, waar ze overwinteren of verder trekken!

A hunting scandal has reached parliament, with an MP raising concern about a secret deal between the Warwickshire Police and Warwickshire Hunt. The deal has since been replaced by a “code of behaviour”. @alextomo explains.

In Somerset, a giant science experiment to tackle flooding began 10 years ago. Rather than trying to resist the sea, a large tract of land was surrendered to it. Lots of people were opposed. The local MP called it “an extravagant, ridiculous scheme”🧵

The main driver of AMOC slow down is freshwater ice melting off the Greenland ice sheet making seawater less salty. Like sand thrown into a well oiled engine. Prof Jason Box @climate_ice showed me how the official models don’t capture how quickly that ice is melting.

VICTORY 🎉 As of today using lead shot ammunition in wetlands is illegal in all 27 EU countries, as well as Iceland, Norway, and Lichtenstein! Thanks to this law, the lives of ~ 1 million waterbirds which currently die of lead poisoning in the EU will be saved. #Banlead

Good to see Angus Council making space for nature in the heart of Montrose. This sign, just off the Kirky Steps, explains that grassy areas being managed with meadow strips can provide a home for bees, butterflies and other pollinators. 🐝🪲🐝🦋👍
