Like so many people I’ve been deeply disturbed by #saraheverard ’s story, followed this week by so many harrowing tales from other women. I’ve written for @BirdwatchExtra @BirdGuides on how we can all make women safer in wild places

Can finally talk about this and get ludicrously excited in public 😍check out what Joe Davis from @LeicsWildlife found at Rutland Water Nature Reserve!

Rutland ichthyosaur fossil is largest found in UK

The find is hailed as unprecedented and "one of the greatest" in the study of British fossils.

If you want to show support for the NHS, this is not the way. These are a fire hazard, hugely damaging to wildlife and can distress livestock. Clap, donate your money to charity, but if you love people and wildlife, please don’t waste it on this literal rubbish 🤦🏻‍♀️🙏
