Fascinating critique of #Procycling in the women's peloton.

Controversial and long but well worth hearing a (former) insider's view of the issues and lies women's cycling.

Jungle entstand im britischen Underground der 1990er aus Soundsystem- und Ravekultur. Der Name geht auf eine rassistische Beleidigung zurück, die von den Kindern der Windrush-Generation neu besetzt wurde. Vom Drum’n’Bass verdrängt, feiert der Stil heute ein Comeback. Tracks reist nach Leeds: 12 Stunden Party, junge Stars wie Sherelle und Nia Archives und eine Szene voller Energie.

Ramhäll's mine was opened after finding iron ore in the area in 1742 and was ran in one form or another until 1975, when it was closed.

Here is more information about the place from the local history society (Swedish, but with more pictures):

It's absolutely pissing down here right now, and I noticed this little fella sitting on a ledge outside a window trying to get out of the rain.

I've never seen any bird try and shelter there before, but am doing my best to not disturb him.

Hope the eaves and ledge give him some protection and he can stay safe.

„Internationale Regeln spielten lange eine Rolle, doch im Kern beruhte die Weltordnung nach dem Kalten Krieg auf US-amerikanischer Macht. Die USA setzten die Regeln, nannten sie "moralisch" und hielten sich selbst nur begrenzt daran. Die Interventionen im Irak, Kosovo, Libyen zeigen: Moral galt vor allem für die anderen.

Welcome to this first edition of On the Wild Side, a monthly feature that aims to inform and inspire readers about the incredible wildlife in the New Forest National Park, and some of the associated conservation issues and successes. I’m Prof Russell Wynn, director of Wild New Forest and Chair of the New Forest Biodiversity Forum, and I’ve been studying the wildlife of the New Forest for over three decades. I’m excited to have this opportunity to share topical nature stories with the A&T readership, and welcome feedback via the appended contact details.

New arrivals

As we say goodbye to 2025, it’s a good time to reflect on some of the remarkable new species that arrived in the New Forest during the year. Perhaps the most eye-catching was the discovery of European praying mantis at a heathland site in the summer, with evidence to suggest local breeding (they were also discovered to be breeding at several other south coast locations for the first time this year). This species has been moving rapidly north through mainland Europe in response to warming temperatures, and with a decent tailwind they can fly across water bodies like the English Channel.

Another winged insect hitting the headlines last summer was the little arboreal ladybird, which first appeared in my garden moth trap in Woodlands in June and was subsequently reported from several nearby sites in the eastern New Forest.

A Bewick’s swan with an extraordinary migratory history has arrived safely at WWT Slimbridge for the first time, more than 20 years after she was first recorded on the Arctic Russian tundra.

The 20-year-old female swan, Galina, was originally caught and colour-ringed by WWT researchers during fieldwork in the Pechora Delta in Arctic Russia. Since then, Galina has travelled thousands of miles across mainland Europe and has now been recorded in the UK for the first time.
