Loads of Tansy Beetles in Naburn today, unfortunately they've eaten most of the tansy so are to be found on any old plant nearby...

Just heard that @EnvAgencyYNE has apparently postponed closure of Rawcliffe Meadows until April 19th 2022, so more time to show photos of the ecocide taking place...

It's distressing watching 3 decades of work at Rawcliffe Meadows #York SSSI being trashed by the @EnvAgencyYNE contractors in the name of flood defence #Ecocide
