Midnight. Mouse had blown out her candle & the room was suddenly as strange & silvered as the sea. Smoke & the sweet rich smell of the hay. Over the stubble in the fields, over the solemn hay-ricks, a great harvest moon & the World stilled, heavy in its turning & oh so old.

Anya's babies were born here on 10th June, so they're 3.5 weeks old now.
This is the exact age that most 'abandoned' babies come into rescue, and here's why.
It's 6.30am, the sun is up and it's daylight so mum has gone to bed for the day, (but it's still a bit too dark in the hospital for the cameras). She's in her own nest, away from her babies.
She's left her precious babies sleeping safely in the maternity nest for the day, to encourage their transition from diurnal to nocturnal, and to wean them off daytime feeds from her.
But for one little baby who should be asleep, it's just too exciting having ears and eyes that work, and teeth that are starting to erupt.
He just can't wait.
So with mum away, he sneaks out to have a little explore...
All what you see here is happening in the safety of the mother and baby unit here at the hospital.
But now imagine this happening in the wild.
How easy it is for the baby to take the wrong turn.
For mum not to hear.
For a human to come and pick the baby up before mum has a chance to retrieve him.
This is why it's so important that the first thing you do when you see a tiny baby out is to stop, stand still, keep your eyes on him from a distance, and ring a good rescue for advice.
They will ask all the right questions and will be able to remotely assess the situation, and advise what actions, if any, need to be taken.
Put the number of your local trusted hedgehog rescue in your phone now, ready, just in case.🥰

This frightened, but very lucky cat was saved and retrieved from the rubble, after russian shelling last night.

While resisting those who don’t value any lives, it’s important to always remember that every life matters.

[Give A Shit About Nature @giveashitnature]

We protect 100-year-old buildings as historic treasures, then cut down 500-year-old trees for furniture. That's insane.

An old-growth tree isn't just some big tree. It is a living carbon bank, seed source, cooling system, water filter, fungal network, bird nursery, insect factory, and archive of centuries of weather, fire, drought, and survival.

The older it gets, the more jobs it does. Big old trees store enormous amounts of carbon, and research has found they can keep adding carbon faster as they grow larger. Some ancient trees add more carbon in a single year than an entire mid-sized tree contains.

They also make habitat younger trees can't cough up. Cavities for owls and bats. Broken limbs for nesting birds. Dead wood for beetles and fungi. Mossy bark for lichens and invertebrates. Cool, damp microclimates for salamanders and seedlings. Fallen logs that feed the soil for decades.

A thousand-year-old tree is not 'renewable' in any meaningful human timeframe. Cut it down for furniture, flooring, paper, or profit, and the ecosystem it carried does not come back when someone plants a replacement seedling.

We already protect old churches, courthouses, barns, bridges, and battlefields because they connect us to the past. Old-growth trees do that too.

It may not seem like it some days, but I can tell you the world is still full of truly good people with kind, loving hearts.
There are people who see the broken hedgehogs here, and want to help mend them, so they send supplies from my Amazon wishlist, or donate towards the cost of medicines via PayPal.
Without being asked, without expecting reward or praise.
Without fanfare.
Every day I am reminded of the sheer depth of humanity that abounds, despite eager reports to the contrary.🥹
Thank you to everyone who spares time, money and effort to help the hedgehogs, either in their own garden or by retweeting my infograms, or donating.
Plus all your words of loving encouragement.
Whether or not you realise it, you are all quite extraordinary.
You are my heroes, life savers.
And I couldn't do what I do without you.
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
