Enjoy! What a treat! The master storyteller of our times

Super photo

A master storyteller. His films are timeless like his stories. A sad loss.

Sharks are the king of the food chain - the ocean needs them to survive and thrive. This is beyond cruel - and stupid

He’s a great insightful journalist and writer

It's a beauty

A small road sign on a National Trust property that reads "all traffic" with an arrow pointed to the left. A sheep stands underneath the sign, seeming to be wanting to go to the right in the opposite direction of the sign.

*Sigh* There's always one who doesn't follow the signs...

A scenic view of a National Park landscape with a winding stone path leading through green hills and valleys under soft sunlight. In the centre of the image, bold black text on a red-and-black hazard-striped background reads: “DON’T WEAKEN NATIONAL PARK PROTECTIONS.” Below it, in white text, is the hashtag “#NationalParksMatter.”

Our National Parks are at risk. ⚠️

From the rugged Lakes to the sweeping South Downs, these landscapes define us and our future. They sustain wildlife, communities and our wellbeing - and they must be protected.

A future that puts them at risk isn't what anyone voted for.

One of the true greats. The world will be much poorer place without her in it.

A small flock of Swifts sweep across a clear blue sky, their slim bodies and crescent wings cutting sharply above the roof of a house. A beloved summer sight - and one at risk of disappearing if protections for nature are lost.

The tree you climbed as a child. Gone. The Swifts over your town. Gone. The air you breathe. Polluted. The river. Unsafe.

This is the reality of deregulation.

Cutting protections would mean disaster for nature & our economy.
