Happy Sunday! Happiness for me is the peace and quiet I find spending time in nature. This Small Copper was also enjoying the stillness of the afternoon 🧡🦋🇫🇷

Helen Whatley MP spends every day bashing disabled people online and calling them scroungers.
She has claimed for almost £2,000,000 on expenses since 2015.
£300,000 of this are for her own travel and accommodation etc, yet she lives 50 miles from London.

Sometimes a moment of surprise has years of experience behind it. Last week as I was out in the oilseed rape fields applying a cocktail of microbe food (molasses, humates and fish paste), I had quite a shock when up went a large flock of grey partridges, a covey of 26.
Twelve would be considered large, with red-legged partridges only ever appearing in pairs, but I’ve not seen 26 grey here in my lifetime.
This is testament to our nature‑friendly approach to farming, including this year planting specific margins to encourage sawfly larvae, crickets, weevils and ground beetles. These insects form the entire diet of grey partridges (and yellowhammers) during their first two weeks of life.
In addition, rather than just planting overwinter cover crops and “catch” crops to mop up loose nutrients and protect the soil from the elements, I now add millet, the seed of which is a boost for older birds. The idea is to create a mosaic of habitats that connect through the landscape...

You may never see this bird in the same way again
I get so cross when people dismiss the wonders of British wildlife. Our native species may not always be flamboyant, but they are still beautiful and worth protecting. 💚
This summer, with such intense heat, I really missed visiting the local nature reserve, but it was just too hot for me. Instead, I spent some time at the local park. Although it can be a bit hit or miss there, I have seen little egrets and tree creepers.
Time spent in a local park is never wasted, though, because I enjoy the peace and sit by the river and watch the mute swans. What magnificent and enigmatic birds.
No doubt they are Britain's most well-known bird and are striking to look at, but although we see them often, I started to wonder how much we really know about them.

We all want public ownership, water is a necessity for life, not a profiteer’s gift.
Now I also want to know why this isn’t being listened to and who is pulling the strings on the delays.
This is a national scandal and it is not getting enough air time (wonder when they’ll start charging for that…)
