More things that caught my eye this week

  • today is WWF’s Earth Hour
  • this month’s Birdwatch is full of good things but the double page photo of a Great Spotted Woodpecker and a Little Owl squaring up to each other on a post is quite stunning.
  • and that same Birdwatch has the wonderful Mark Cocker’s last column (although he will continue to write occasionally for Birdwatch)
  • 6 million loaves of bread are fed to ducks each year! Really? Let them eat cake!
  • our e-petition to ban driven grouse shooting closes at midnight on Monday – it stands at 22,200 signatures right now but every signature counts.
  • BAWC has compiled a series of vox pops from the excellent conference last week
  • thinking of doing some plant counting this summer? Don’t be shy – you must be a better botanist than I! See my article in Plantlife’s spring magazine
  • this looks really good
  • band of the week includes the Corner Laughers as one to watch! Hooray!
  • no response from GWCT’s Teresa Dent on behalf of Rules restaurant yet
  • I seem to be #8 in a list of the sustainable 100 in the UK – good to see Caroline Lucas at #1
