Dogs are very welcome at our Stirley reserve! 🦮 🐶 🐕‍🦺

But please do be considerate and pick up after your pooch... 💩

Q: Are dogs are allowed on nature reserves? 🐾
A: It depends - check our website before visiting!

Most dog owners are considerate, will keep dogs on leads & pick up poo, but even well-behaved dogs can upset our natural environment.

We can all help wildlife, together ❤️

[#30DaysWild from The Wildlife Trusts @30DaysWild]

Ducks can be split into two groups: dabblers and divers. Diving ducks (like pochards) feed deeper underwater, while dabbling ducks (like mallards) feed predominantly at the surface!

You'll often see dabblers with their heads underwater and bums in the air, like so... 👇🍑
