It's #NationalHatDay !
Our hats are essential for keeping our teams safe whilst working with our rescued residents, but they also make great resting posts too, or at least Adoption Star Lady thinks so!

British sheep produce 70,000 tonnes of wool annually. Used for carpets, insulation, textiles, and traditional products.
The environmental alternative is petroleum-based synthetic fiber. Which is plastic. Made from oil. Non-biodegradable. Sheds microplastics in washing. Ends up in oceans.
But sheep are unsustainable and we should use more plastic instead.
The mental gymnastics required to call wool environmentally harmful while promoting polyester is Olympic-level.
Wool is renewable. Grows annually. Biodegradable. Carbon-neutral. Traditional craft. Insulates better than synthetics. Flame-resistant naturally. Lasts decades if cared for properly.
Polyester is fossil fuel. Requires industrial processing. Never biodegrades. Sheds microplastics. Inferior insulation. Needs chemical flame retardants. Lasts but damages environment entire time.
Yet environmental groups campaign against wool while wearing fleece jackets made from oil.
The sheep are not the problem. The people campaigning against them are.
Hope @Independent_ie dont mind me posting the full excellent article on our Seabird IBAs by @codohertynews. It is really excellent. Full page in the paper!
Fortunate to witness an astonishing spectacle at the beach tonight: tens & tens of thousands of (mainly Small) white butterflies pouring in over the sea, as far as you could see, to the east & west. Pulses of butterflies swept in-off everywhere, an extraordinary sight.
