Clarion Housing destroyed an active swift colony by demolishing a building early, breaching the Wildlife and Countryside Act. Tell the Surrey Police crime commissioner to enforce the law ๐https://t.co/cZqGFTt3uc Itโs #worldswiftday but no one gives a monkeys.
@GBNEWS@Nanaakua1 These people, and not one of them ever mention about wildlife habitat lost, we're loosing species, our green spaces being dug up for more people
and here it is... a guide for local councillors concerned about greenfield development in their local area.
Our other reports are on the same page too.

A hedgehog scratching is a common sight, but not for the reason most think.
Despite the myth, hedgehogs do not have fleas. Well, no more than any other animal.
In fact, it's quite rare for a hedgehog to have fleas, and when they do, the fleas are species-specific, so they can't infect any other animal.
Fleas on a hedgehog are a huge red flag - a sign that the animal is sick, malnourished, or otherwise so weakened that his immune system is unable to fight, making him a target for opportunistic parasites.
The real reason hedgehogs are often seen scratching is simply ringworm, which is intensely itchy.
Ringworm, despite its name, isn't a worm at all but a fungal infection. For more information see: https://t.co/kQaFQq1uGV
The hedgehogs in these four hospital pens here all have ringworm. It's not the reason they were admitted, but it's being treated, while they are here being treated for various other life-threatening conditions.
This was last night, Friday.
Merlin and Luca both had their ringworm treatment baths that morning.
Compared to Anya and Christian, whose baths weren't until this morning, you can see how the treatment has dramatically relieved their symptoms.
So when you see or hear the silly old myth of hedgehogs being fleabags please correct it, and help restore the reputation of these charming, harmless little animals.๐ฅฐ
@HedgehogCabin I started to think whether they were annoyed at me cause I put food there, not every night, but the other neighbour did for the fox not knowing badger were there too, until I put the camera there to find out where the hogs were, but they been there for years their hole prove it
@HedgehogCabin I was fuming last year, it's not as though they dont know, luckily the other neighbour ok but she careful not to let badger/fox in cause she has 2 rabbits, they can't get in
@HedgehogCabin They said they can't do it and after 2 years of hogs coming from their direction of their garden, no sightings at all, that's when I knew they blocked
