River and water is high at the reserve at the moment. Lots of debris. The little stream to cross into the neighbouring field is almost over welly height and would be too slippery to jump! #takecare

If you're tidying the garden, remember to check for #hedgehogs & other #wildlife before mowing long grass, disturbing wild patches, or turning compost heaps, as they are ideal places for a #hedgehog's nest!

[Bumblebee Conservation Trust @BumblebeeTrust]

These rare and less common bumblebees can be seen in September, but you better hurry! ⏱️

This month, many bumblebee nests will naturally come to an end and new queens will settle down to hibernate over the winter.

[Hedgehog Cabin @HedgehogCabin]

The phone rings all day long.
Folk reporting hedgehogs seen out in the day.
Most casualties are just babies.
And every single one is suffering from starvation.
The callers are shocked.
They think hedgehogs love slugs, which are plentiful.
Please help educate.

Looks like the first feed for our Peregrine chick is a starling. Also signs that 2 of the other 3 eggs are starting to hatch.
