As we enter yet another week of drought conditions please, I beg you, put out water for the wildlife.
They have nothing.
No puddles.
No ponds.
No streams.
All have dried up.
Sometimes the birds are thought of and provided for.
But the nocturnal animals go unseen.
Unthought of.
No kind dishes.
Just the tantalising smell of water from a pond they may drown in, or a drain they may get trapped in.
Or a stagnant, dirty old birdbath they may get fatal fluke from.
Hedgehogs need to drink a lot of water to stay healthy. Please provide clean, fresh, safe, ground level water each evening for our precious nocturnal wildlife.
Tap water is best.
Pop a dish or two out tonight.
Dying of thirst is a terrible, painful way to die.
It should never happen to any animal, and certainly not in a country that has the safest tap water in the world.
The few minutes it takes you to fill a dish will make the difference between life and death.❤️

@Hyperbird1_ @bearbubb The bite itself doesn’t have to be savage/poisonous - it’s rare but any small bite/wound can become infected and cause serious issues, like necrotising fasciitis etc

@heytherelestat Incredible episode!

@James1940 Very coincidental having these posts next to each other on my feed 🙈

Please, please, always keep your dog on a lead when walking in the countryside at this time of year. The fields and moors are full of babies and vulnerable nests. 🪺

This is the point

We do not need to allow planning permissions in an inch more of green space:
1.4m brownfield homes
1.5m empty homes (plus empty commercial)

And also 1.4m unbuilt planning permissions

@macro_action I love herons, it’s like seeing a Pterodactyl up close 🦕

@SketchesbyBoze @LaianeWolfsong Tom Cox has got a lovely account over on Bluesky now :) Have you read his new book? It’s so magical and strange and beautiful ✨

[Oli @clbl89]

@nickpaulharris Thank you so much for this review! My husband and I eagerly settled down (with our cat, pictured) to watch this programme and felt exactly the same as you. Such a missed opportunity to make an interesting and beautiful TV show.

@in_deserto @effoff1988 This is in my top 5 favourite films of all time! It’s incredible

This is why it’s a mistake to confine Christmas to December 25. Liturgically, Christmas continues for 12 days (some say it ends in February!). I urge you to celebrate the whole Christmas season. Here at midwinter we need all the wassailing, feasting & festive cheer we can get.

"The cup of tea on arrival at a country house is a thing which, as a rule, I particularly enjoy. I like the crackling logs, the shaded lights, the scent of buttered toast, the general atmosphere of leisured cosiness."
