We're "sorry" we've given £72,000,000,000 of your money to our shareholders but that means we've now got none left so we think you should give us some more.
Let's call it another £10,000,000,000 as a bit of a down payment shall we?
Bloody hell!
After dumping sewage in seas, chemically polluting rivers, failing to upgrade Victorian pipes & handing huge dividends to shareholders, all water firms have to offer is “sorry - oh by the way we’re putting your bills up”. What a shitshow. @Feargal_Sharkey

The team will be keeping a close eye on site as the season progresses. This is another worrying year for seabird colonies with HPAI (birdflu) continuing to lay waste & conservation efforts will be vital to bring about a recovery in future years 4/4 (More soon).

The tern rafts at our West Hayling project site are now back & full of terns! This is the scene this evening 🐤🥰 A mixed team of staff & volunteers from @RSPBPagham & @ProjectLOTE floated out the rafts this afternoon once repairs were finished & shingle topped up 1/

Work to bring native #oysters back to the River Hamble has begun. After a year of planning, the Solent Seascape Project team set out to build a perfect home for 30,000 oysters, creating the second (and biggest) restored reef in the #Solent. Follow @solentseascape for updates🦪

As nesting season begins, sadly we've had reports of people (& dogs & drones) disturbing wildlife @SouthWalney Coastal ground-nesting birds are very vulnerable right now- look how well-camouflaged these ringed plover eggs are. Please read on👉bit.ly/nesting-season @ProjectLOTE

Ringed Plover - RED listed
One of ELEVEN red-listed #waders in the UK.
Which species and why?
wadertales.wordpress.com/202…
Together with @SWT & an incredible group of @SuffolkAoNB volunteers, we’ve put up fencing at Shotley on the Orwell Estuary to create safe havens for nesting #ringedplovers
Ringed plovers nest on the ground so these fences reduce the risk of their nests & eggs being trampled🐣💙

"Langstone Harbour: Council to test water near wastewater pipes." Well done @HavantBorough 👋
No doubt @10DowningStreet, @DefraGovUK & @EnvAgency can explain why LAs, volunteer groups and charities are having to take on the role of industry regulators?

My stepdad @ChrisGPackham has bared the brunt of obsessive bullies who’ve burnt down his gates, thrown dead animals into his garden + sent death threats. They spread lies and hate because he stands up for wildlife.
I stand by him wholeheartedly
Pls share

Marine habitats in the Solent are degraded and fragmented. Our vision is to bring the Solent community together to co-design restoration and rewilding initiatives for a healthier, more resilient, more biodiverse Solent, for people, nature and climate. 🌍#RewildingHOPE

The first episode of #WildIsles was everything we hoped for!
But unfortunately as David #Attenborough points out, the UK is actually one of the most nature-depleted countries in the world.
