Also arriving late on the scene are the Fulmar chicks, which have been appearing since 30th June. It's hard to get a glimpse as the parents keep them well hidden at this stage, but just occasionally one peeps out to say hello

🕊️ Today is #WorldSeabirdDay, marking the 1844 extinction of the Great Auk. Seabirds still face major threats—bycatch, pollution & habitat loss. Just weeks ago, #WorldAlbatrossDay reminded us: thousands of seabirds die yearly in fisheries. Let’s act. 🌊🐦 #ACAP

You can't, on one hand, promote intensive farming policies that drench ALL our peatlands in ammonia, slowly killing them, and at same time celebrate their biodiversity and carbon sequestration Or can you? Welcome to Daera Doublespeak #WorldPeatlandsDay x.com/daera_ni/statu…

Maybe run this past all the people living in Ireland , Northern Ireland and Scotland tomorrow night after Storm Eowyn has done its worst . . . or all those of us who won’t get any flood/storm damage insurance ever again for our homes and businesses theguardian.com/business/2025/…

RIP Michael Longley. What a poet and inspiration. Last year, we went to see his film 'Where Poems Come From' and it stuck with me for ages afterwards; the insights, nature, beauty, profound thoughts, how he saw the world, language but especially his poem 'The Ice-Cream Man.'
