Just finished this little linocut which I was using as a demonstration piece during our Open Studio weekend. @spring_fling #linocut

@LisaHooper20 ’s artwork features on the covers of our new Birds of Fair Isle volumes. Her ‘Puffins and Sheep Rock’ design is also available as a card (soon to be on sale at the Observatory).
New print of Dock Shield bugs. Used transparent glazes over a drypoint sketch. Somewhat experimental small edition.

⬆️ They actually had 2 dogs off the lead, one of them, a Springer Spaniel, was wet where it had been in the water, and it's not in the video because it had run off further, out of sight! 😕
Yet she claims the dogs are under control...
She says she donates to the reserve, yet has no qualms about breaking the rules and letting her dogs do what they want on it...
Then they claim that birds aren't nesting yet, they start on the 10th April! 🤔
Someone tells the millions of birds who HAVE started nesting all over the country... they were obviously unaware...

Having already massacred its fragile wolf population and permitted trophy killing of lynx, Sweden is to allow hunters to kill 20% of its brown bear population. What a disgrace. Imagine if this were a country in the global south. There’d be a global outcry. theguardian.com/environment/…

The longest sentence handed down to a violent racist rioter this week is shorter than the sentences imposed on entirely peaceful environmental protesters last month.
Labour must repeal the Tory laws that treat peaceful protest more severely than violent disorder and assault.
My latest print of a Skylark. I’ve called it by its Scots name: Laverock. There’s a sad story behind it. The bird that inspired it lost its nest to an early silage cut; a fate shared by so many ground nesting birds. They pay a high price for cheap food.

Chris Packham, "Now is the summer of our discontent" @ChrisGPackham
"We have a nightmare.. Since Frankie Goes To Hollywood told us to relax, 600,000 birds across Europe have vanished"
"We have a nightmare.. Since the Sex Pistols pointed out it was Anarchy in the U.K. 80% of our butterflies are gone"
"We have a nightmare.. Our rivers may be full of sewage but agricultre is the number one source of pollution in the UK.. And 35% of our greenhouse gas emissions"
"We have a nightmare.. Over a billion animals are confined in factory farms in the UK"
"We have a nightmare.. Foxes are still ripped to pieces by entitled savages"
"We have a nightmare.. It's estimated 1.7 million animals are trapped in snares in the UK"
"We have a nightmare.. 93% of our marine protected area are not protected from destructive fishing"
"We have a nightmare.. 2023 was confirmed as the warmest year going back to 1850.. While the world is being roasted the Conservatives have handed major oil companies 53 new oil and gas licenses"
"It doesn't have to be like this" #RestoreNatureNow
