To all the people freaking out about this little spider... it was about 1cm long (ever heard of close-up photography 🤣) and completely harmless, so nothing to be scared of!

Can't believe what I'm hearing. Swift bricks aren't even controversial. They're a cheap, easy way to restore our dwindling bird population. Yet neither Tory Minister, nor Lab opposition, will commit to make them mandatory. What planet are they on?? @Natures_Voice @WriterHannahBT

Today I saw the magnificent Swallowtail, the last British butterfly I had left to see. Plenty of Norfolk Hawkers around too.

Water companies are dumping sewage in our rivers & seas 1000s of times a day. The ❌ red alerts ❌ on the Safer Seas and Rivers Service app make sure they can't hide. But the app needs urgent funds. Donate to our donation-doubling appeal to save our app: buff.ly/3KToQ0W

Sand Mason Worms at low tide. Amazing to think these tubes are up to 45cm long and these are just the tops! hiwwt.org.uk/wildlife-explor…

Fantastic boat trip on the Beaulieu River with @WildNewForest1 - Goshawks, Curlews, Grey Seals, Peregrines and Avocets were some of the highlights on a chilly but beautiful morning.

Nice views of the Shore Lark at Hurst Spit today, as it pecked its way through the seaweed and hung out with some Turnstones.
