Best story on the internet this year: 80-Year-old man builds 60,000 Swift boxes in his shed.. (Half of the countries existing boxes)

‘I feel I’ve made a mark’: the man who built homes for 60,000 swifts

Retired salesman John Stimpson was so moved by the cries of birds unable to find nests, he decided to act. Now he has made enough boxes to house half the UK’s swifts

Today is birthday for this feathery, papery gathering of all things nightingale. Be stunned by the sheer brilliance, mystical, musical breadth of this little brown bird! The book is a broad study but also deeply personal and charts millennia of our species interaction with them.

Poetic justice here for the chainsaw massacring Plymouth council who’s elected council were felled like the 100 city trees they cut down this year. Maybe those in power over our natural heritage should take a long hard look at this story.

I’m afraid it’s been a terrible night in Plymouth as we lost every seat we stood in. We lost some outstanding friends and colleagues who have given decades of service to Plymouth. Take it on the chin, learn and go again tomorrow. It’s going to be a fight but I like a fight.
