Enough is enough. When politicians use hateful language, they create conditions for hatred to grow.
This is the Reform party I warned about, and they should be ashamed for inciting racial division in Scotland.

Wolf's Milk, Lycogala epidendrum, on dead Hazel wood at Happy Valley in Croydon. Starts off pink in colour, but then matures to grey/brown. I was very happy to see it! #SlimeMould
To ALL my English followers the Scottish Parliament have agreed a motion to hold an independent enquiry into funding for ALL political parties. The SNP and Greens who proposed it voted for it. The Branch offices of the London based parties voted against it! Just so you know the true story

Sad to hear of the passing of Robert Ricklefs - a giant of Ecology who simultaneously pushed forward big ideas at multiple biological levels yet took time for detailed natural history .. McGill does a nice job summarizing his impressive contributions ๐๐งช dynamicecology.wordpress.com/2026/06/11/r...

About 1 million 16- to 24-year-olds are not in employment, education or training โ and the obstacles they face are bigger than ever. Those unemployed for a year or more explain how they are coping
Robert Ricklefs, a giant of ecology, passed away on Sunday. It is hard to overstate the extensive impact Bob had on the field. He was elected a member of the National Academy of Sciences in the US,โฆ
The relevance of chaos theory to appled ecology might seem unclear to practitioners
But it lies in the fact that even relatively simple models of species, communities or ecosystems
can give rise to widely varying trajectories - leading to uncertainty in outcomes
