SS15 wildlife watching

This blog was set up in mid-March 2020 during the emerging COVID-19 health crisis in the UK. It initially aimed to provide records of wildlife sightings and photographs from sites within walking distance of my home in the SS15 postcode area of Basildon in Essex during lockdown travel restrictions. Even though the pandemic has largely subsided, this blog continues to include my local wildlife sightings, my trips away from home plus some personal thoughts and reflections on other issues.

Charles will not cool on climate action say friends and advisors

BBC News - Charles will not cool on climate action say friends and advisors

Admittedly the new King was well ahead of the mainstream when he started speaking on the environment, nature and wildlife and the climate.

However, I certainly do not agree with the Chairman of Natural England, Tony Juniper, that he is "possibly the most significant environmental figure of all time".

There are many people, not least some of the young campaigners and activists, that are or will be far more deserving of that accolade.

However, when the king is retired following the abolition of the monarchy, perhaps he will translate some of his words into positive actions.
