Have you seen Dorian? She has been missing for her home in Oxford for a week and her owner is desperate for news #CatsOfTwitter #CatsOfX @catsofoxford @RspcaO @OxTweets

@vegancakery I’m so very sorry for your terrible losses. Reggie and Martha will know that they were loved. Xx

No, it certainly isn't enough.
Unlike most mammals, hedgehogs don't have the Flight or Fight Response to danger. So no matter how frightened they are, they don't bite, and they don't run away.
Their response to danger is to curl up into a protective ball and wait untill the danger passes.
That's why so many get run over by an approaching car.
That's why so many are maimed and killed by an approaching strimmer.
That's why so many get burned alive in a bonfire.
Poking a stick under the bonfire pile will just make the hedgehog inside just curl tighter.
Lighting it from one side will just make the hedgehog curl tighter.
Shining a light under the bonfire will just make the hedgehog curl tighter.
The only way to make a bonfire safe is to build it the same day you light it.
So if it's already built, you need to move it.
If you are starting to build it in advance then you MUST enclose the area with a hedgehog-proof fence, to ensure no hogs enter.

People are currently outside Shrewsbury ambulance site, as they are about to remove nesting swallows from a active nest, after a licence has been granted, just weeks before they will fledge.. #StopNatureCrime #SaveOurSwallows @swallowspotting @ChrisGPackham @IoloWilliams2

[Gill Lewis @gill__lewis]

How can this be happening? A nature reserve set for destruction for a holiday park? Why is it that ppl are blinded by power & money & can’t see what we will lose?

1. I spent my evening's this week putting together my response to a planning application for a vast holiday park on the Duddon Estuary, #Cumbria. The proposal is an existential threat to the designated and protected species and habitats of the #SPA, #SAC, #SSSI, #NNR and #Ramsar.

@GaryMirams @DownloadFest My brother is there 😂!

[Witney parkrun @witneyparkrun]

We hope you've enjoyed the Bank Holiday weekend. Thanks to Sarah, one of our visitors from @Trelaiparkrun, we're pleased to wrap it up with a report summing up her exploits on Saturday. Before you set the work alarms, why not have a read?!

[Cats of Oxford @catsofoxford]

Duke has not come in for breakfast after going out overnight.

This is unusual and therefore concerning, particularly in this weather.

OX1, in the vicinity of the castle.

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

We didn't have parties to "boost morale"
We didn't have quiz nights
We didn't have champagne
We watched our colleagues die though
We were STEEPED in death
We kept going
We had to
We kept on
So don't you DARE say your parties were "necessary" @borisjohnson
You make me sick.
