Waking up to scenes from across Northern Ireland that are deeply troubling & have no place in a modern society. My thoughts are with those left frightened & traumatised by these events. Rather than share images of violence & damage, Iโm sharing images of the country I know & love
If youโve neighbours who might be worried, upset or concerned about the current events in NI, take a few minutes today to check in on them with a quick hello or a friendly chat.
Just let them know they have a friendly face living next door. It might help them feel more at ease
An appeal from the family of Monday's victim Stephen Ogilvie
Take note Musk, Yaxley-Lennon, Lowe, Farage and loyalist paramilitaries
Violence is not wanted in Northern Ireland
Angry doesnโt even begin to cover it..
Today at Snettisham beach protected area for ground nesting birds including Little Ringed Plover, Oystercatcher, Ringed Ploverโฆ...
Signage EVERYWHERE asking for dogs on leads.

This part from later in the video broke my heart... a floating Swan egg that the Swan tries to pull under itself as if incubating it on a nest... ๐๐
How did it get in the water?
This is what entitlement looks like! ๐คฌ
There are nesting waterbirds on this pond on Hampstead Heath... there are also big 'No Swimming' signs, all being totally ignored! ๐คฌ
Pure selfishness... ๐๐คฌ๐คฌ

Please, we need your contribution today ๐
We have to raise funds daily for our fundraiser to keep us going.
Staff wages & loads of bills are pending.
Big or small, any amount ยฃ1, ยฃ2 ..
It's just a collective effort for our fur babies ๐พ
Our post views seem to be getting lower day by day. So if you see Daphne today could you drop her a heart or just say hello. Think it's to do with the algorithm that we are slowly disappearing ๐ข

No.
Please don't use fertiliser. There really is no need, and it causes significant, long-term harm to the environment, soil health, and human health.
Plus, the water-soluble nutrients can wash away and contaminate the water table, causing pollution that affects local ecosystems, even triggering massive algal blooms that deplete oxygen and kill aquatic life.
Fish Blood and Bone has a strong smell, making it attractive to hungry animals. It's very hazardous to all wildlife (and pets) if ingested, as it can cause severe gastric distress, or even create deadly obstructions in their stomachs.
A balanced garden doesn't need fertiliser. Leaving leaf litter where it falls on the lawn, instead of raking it up, will provide the very best natural fertiliser.๐ฅฐ
Every phone call I've taken this week has broken my heart a little bit more.
So much unnecessary suffering.
Please spread this information, as far and wide as you can.
You may save a life.

A hedgehog *out in the open* in the day is in serious trouble and needs urgent help.
Always.
No exceptions.
Any size.
Any time.
Hedgehogs are nocturnal prey animals, they have no defences in the daytime, it's deadly dangerous for them.
They are designed to hunt at night, to navigate and catch insects in the dark, occupying a specific ecological niche.
They are not adapted to withstand high temperatures, and their shape means they rapidly dehydrate during daylight hours.
They are nocturnal animals.
So they don't come out in the day simply because they're hungry, or lost, or disturbed, or to move nests, or are pregnant, or for any other trivial reason.
They come out in the day because it's warmer than the night and they are feeling cold.
Deadly cold.
They're feeling cold because they're so sick they're starting to die, and hypothermia is a stage of dying. Blood has been redirected to the vital organs, keeping them alive as long as possible, leaving the limbs feeling cold.
If you see a hedgehog like this, out in the open, in the day time, no matter how 'well' he looks, it is an emergency.
Every minute counts.
DO NOT put them in a box and keep them, feeding them, not calling a rescue for advice for 3 days until their agony and infection is too much for them to bear and they stop moving.
DO NOT feed them then move them under a bush because you think they shouldn't be in the sun, leaving them, utterly defenceless, to be predated alive there.
DO NOT take them to a vet, none of whom are trained in wildlife and will simply put to sleep even viable wild animals.
Please take them to a rescue (never a vet) URGENTLY.
Just Google 'hedgehog rescue near me' to find a list.
