Ryanair has a bit of an image problem even though its planes are packed! Just because portions of the population think that Ryanair would charge you for breathing if they could get away with it doesn’t mean that they don’t fly to places that people want to go (or just down the road from them…

State of Nature report 2019
The launch on Channel 4 News was a good idea, but the ‘sitting in a barn’ bit was pretty poor really, just all over the place. The whole thing was rescued by the young people!

And it’s been a pretty good summer so sitting in the garden has been a frequent pleasure – and for a birder it’s impossible not to listen and look for birds continually. It was pointed…
Good report on a bad state of affairs
The lack of birds of prey, due to high levels of illegal persecution, in many upland so-called protected areas (AONBs and National Parks) is a disgrace that is becoming clearer and clearer to the public at large. And this report on the state of affairs for the Nidderdale AONB is another welcome step forward in…
