Flooding had receded enough to get into at least some of the Cranwich pits today, and 14 new Coot nest records for @_BTO was the reward. Most were of the rare subspecies Fulica atra dali, thanks to a 4ft drop in water levels during the peak laying period.

Cranwich flooding has delayed the start of my @_BTO nest recording this year but not the birds; three of five Long-tailed Tit nests already at lining stage and three Coot clutches located on Saturday, including this arboreal one, about 1m up thanks to dropping water levels.
Getting harder to justify interacting with this platform but just had to acknowledge the passing of one of the all-time greats. Rest In Jams, Brother Wayne
A major report, prepared by @_BTO staff, surveys the evidence on the impacts of climate change on migratory species. The report was commissioned by @DefraGovUK through @JNCC_UK as a major contribution to the work of @BonnConvention on climate change. bto.org/our-science/pu…

I think this is possibly the thread I have learned most from in the shortest space of time. It's like a music nerd deep-dive, and I love it, and it's what X (formerly known as 'so much better pre-fash-owner') used to be so good at.

This is the hardest hitting bit of satire I’ve ever read by Lee (and I’ve read the script about the time Jesus helped him home from the pub!). It is, of course, absolutely right! Ant, Dec and ITV have picked the wrong side in the shoot/don’t shoot immigrants debate. Wankers👇👇👇
Gained a new fave band last night in the form of @noahsloners, who were immense supporting the mighty @TheMeffs. Def see you in Feb. Or was it Jan? Ears were ringing a bit, tbf...
So much love for @TheMeffs in Norwich tonight. An amazing band and a really important one to me personally. Keep being awesome.
You misspelt 'excruciating'.
to be fair to Rishi Sunak, the odds that David Cameron could make a *second* foreign policy decision that breaks the economy and tears the entire country apart are really very low
We could get angry at Suella’s latest piece of performative, pandering cruelty or… instead: let’s promote the excellent work done by @Shelter, @centrepointuk, @PassageCharity and other fine charities actually trying to help homeless people, especially now, as winter approaches.

I saw @ARABROT supporting the incredible @Borisheavyrocks in Norwich a few years ago. Had never heard a note before and they were incredible. Go and see them.

🧵1/3 - We are totally shocked and appalled by the recommendations to NHS England made in the Cass Report and urge NHS England to take heed of International experts. We know that children and young people will suffer and die if these recommendations are implemented.
In a statement to The Guardian, Cass suggests that social media and the internet could be the cause of gender dysphoria. Absolutely absurd statement that is not backed in facts, or studies. This is clearly a biased review that was driven by transphobic opinions and not facts
Immediately following the release of the Cass Review, NHS England has announced it will now investigate Adult Transgender Health Care. This is not, and has never been, about children. The NHS is going to attempt to ban adult transgender healthcare,
If I was Dr Cass, I’d be embarrassed of publishing such an unscientific, blindingly biased and methodologically unsound review.
It’s with a heavy heart I’ve cancelled my Labour membership. This is in response to back-pedalling, sophistry & equivocation from @UKLabour, @wesstreeting & @YvetteCooperMP on the issue of trans & LGBT+ rights. Labour are no longer champions of my LGBT+ community.
It is scandalous that none of the authors of the systematic reviews informing the #CassReview had previous experience of researching or providing gender healthcare. This is unprecedented. Imagine a review of heart surgery techniques that inluded zero surgeons or cardiologists!
This right here #TransRightsAreHumanRights
I read the whole Cass Review, and wrote about how it promotes conversion therapy with any other name, and treats trans kids, and young adults, with total disdain for @Dazed dazeddigital.com/life-culture/a…
Remember: No rate of regret will be low enough, no rate of satisfaction will be high enough, and no pace of assessment will be slow enough for the people who, implicitly or explicitly, would prefer the number of happy, thriving trans kids to be zero.
Drop what you're doing, and read the best piece on the Cass review, by @freddymcconnell: "Hilary Cass’s proposals are mostly common sense. She must reject anti-trans bias with the same clarity." theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
The first account that shows up that Hilary Cass follows is "Transgender Trend," a notoriously anti-trans hate group. This is who was supposed to be unbiased on a review that affects the care of trans people in the UK?
Can you imagine if they held a review into women's healthcare and barred women from being part of the team. That alone is totally disqualifying. The whole thing was a corrupt sham from the start
Wow! NHS England BANNED trans people from being part of the decision-making process for their own healthcare during Cass - but DID listen to conversion therapists. @NHSEngland - this is a farce.
More than anything else this fully exposes the true sinister aim Cass was seeking from her Trans Healthcare Report. It totally dispels any notion that this was about providing the right level of care for kids, but rather a form of Conversion Therapy with a predetermined aim. 1/
1. (a) Patient data is patient data. It is not the Health secretary’s data, nor even NHS England’s data. Clinics were correct in not disclosing data without having the express permission of the patient. (b) In a letter to Adult GIC’s this week, NHS England’s National & ..,
One good thing about the Cass review is that it's making people in power stick their necks out and admit that they're marks Like, this is the editor in chief of the British Medical journal making sure we know that he thinks you can do a double-blind trial on puberty itself
Critics of the methodology of the systematic reviews that form the basis of the Cass Review are displaying their limited understanding of research methods and evidence based medicine — but that’s what got us into this mess in the first place
Being transgender is not a “delusion.” It has nothing to do with “pretending” either. Gender dysphoria is real & gender affirming care is the treatment for it. Be a science & medicine denier all you want, but stop stepping all over trans people for your willful ignorance of…
The Cass Review has provoked significant debate and concern. I believe the focus must be on ensuring everyone – including young trans people – has access to the healthcare they need. To achieve this, we must understand the context in which this review is published. 1/4
1. Two years ago, Hillary Cass met with DeSantis picks and collaborated on a trans care ban in Florida. Now her review targets trans people in England. It is filled with flawed claims over evidence, toys, and social transition. Subscribe to support my journalism. Lets dig in.
