"during my study period, water vole abundance was significantly higher in the fenced than the non-fenced section,… I concluded that water vole activity was lower in sections with higher disturbance from dog-walking”. https://t.co/MME5BcUva7

Busy in the fields again. Smali Juno has a beautiful moorit yuglet ewe lamb named Lollipop.

Helvellyn's summit was devoid of people but unfortunately showed signs of previous visits. Do the *** people who leave it looking like this really want to walk up themselves to find it full of litter? Plus small mammals can starve when stuck in empty beer bottles. Distraught Jon

Taking your new dog out to enjoy the Cumbrian countryside following the lifting of restrictions make sure you are aware of the Countryside Code (https://t.co/GbKQVxCcWB)

The guide gives advice on walking dogs responsibly near livestock and wildlife.

The M6 is fully closed between junctions 39 and 41, near Penrith, as emergency services deal with an ongoing incident.
Motorists are being diverted via the A6. Drivers are asked to stay clear of the area if possible.

@RareBirdAlertUK We had our first cuckoo here in Cumbria on the 16th March! Crazy early!

[Jenny Holden @Wanderinggecko]

@RareBirdAlertUK Every time we check the sheep, walk the dogs, or indeed just look outside in early evening at the moment!

6 mountain bikes have now been recovered from Broad Crag after being abandoned this week by a family who'd hired them from a shop in Windermere.
Shop owner had advised them to stay off the high fells because of bad weather.
Family spent "uncomfortable night" on the mountain.

I've just signed the open letter asking Boris Johnson to keep his promise, and protect the UK's animal welfare and food standards in trade deals. Will you add your name? https://t.co/pQMaAIsxy0

@smilingtreefarm @DrJudyAMikovits Working with people who do the research and produce the vaccines, I reach a very different opinion. Yes, there is corruption in industry, in science, in governments, but the basic science behind a vaccine is sound and it saves lives. Change the system, don't lose the science.

@AmyJaneBeer Not a lot of herbicide used on grazing land. In cropping terms, this statement is probably correct.

[Jenny Holden @Wanderinggecko]

Just a piece of lovely writing and consideration of the beauty in structure and function of the hare. https://t.co/sJjn76Hkfh

@AmyJaneBeer Wow, that's just disgusting and sorely disappointing.

@smilingtreefarm Spot the alternate agenda... When someone starts out by perpetuating the myth that Hitler was a Socialist...
