'Selfish' sunseekers have sparked fury after they returned to a Hampstead Heath wildlife pond for a third consecutive day - and were filmed splashing and throwing balls during nesting season. 

Hundreds of revellers descended upon the Model Boating Pond in north London on Wednesday, which is supposed to be a 'no swimming zone' and safe haven for nesting birds.

This couple have been caught on camera fly-tipping near Nuneaton. The evidence will be passed to the Leader of Warks County Council @_GeorgeFinch who, we have full confidence, will ensure these people are prosecuted. @bbcmtd

And here is the good news our second Badger cub of the year brought to us by Mum Little Boo.
So this year we’ve had two Badgers (Autumn and Boo) that have had cubs, Pumpkin the fox that has had cubs, the Sidney Squad that have had more little hooligans so now we’re just waiting to see what the Hedgehogs bring us 😍🦡🦊🐿️🦔🐾🐾❤️
It's the first of June and it’s our one day £1 fundraiser day, where we ask each of our supporters to donate £1 or whatever they can afford, to help towards our efforts.
We have over 568,000 followers on all of social media, so if a fraction of that donated just £1 it would be amazing.
Thank you all for your continued support as always you are amazing 🙏🦡🦊🐾🐾❤️

You can donate via PayPal or card here in this link.

Thank You 🙏

He is not wrong, incremental loss of this sort of habitat can go almost unoticed and it is going on every day. Every unecessary trashing of our countryside equals an incremental loss of wildlife. Once its gone its gone.

[Richard Bowler @RichardBowler1]

Silly me, of course the badger is to blame for Btb. Whats wrong with cattle knee deep in shit, shit testing for herds, over crowding and spraying their shit far and wide across the fields. https://t.co/6bKB8r0jYN

Environmentalists are calling for more care to be taken over tree-felling plans after intervening at a site where a cedar is home to a nesting pair of sparrowhawks.
On Tuesday, protesters arrived at London Road Cemetery in Coventry to find an area surrounding the large cedar had been cordoned off in preparation for cutting down. The city council deemed the tree at risk of falling.
Perched in the branches were a sparrowhawk pair tending to a nest, which protesters said should have been obvious to anyone inspecting the tree.
Council officers and police were called to the scene, which resulted in tree surgeons, contracted by the local authority, putting down their tools.
The council said: "We are very aware of our duty to conserve biodiversity and that it is a criminal offence to destroy or disturb an active bird nest."
The authority confirmed work was halted after protesters contacted them, and no further action would be carried out on the tree until the end of the nesting season.
But one protester who was at the scene on Tuesday said there was concern it was nearly too late to save the birds, and if the intervention had come any later, the nest would be lost.
Lower limbs of the tree had already been cut before the full felling was halted.
The Warwickshire/Midlands Wildlife and Nature Matters group member said of workers: "They didn't even know the sparrowhawk nest was in there. If we could see it as members of the public, then why couldn't the contractors - who supposedly have trained ecologists with them - check trees properly before carrying out any cutting?"

“Twenty-five years ago, a story broke in Chiang Mai, Thailand about a Buffalo who ran for her life from a slaughterhouse. Covered in blood and with a deep wound around her neck, she bolted down the motorway, terrified and desperate. Local radio stations warned the public to stay alert ~ calling her “a mad Buffalo,” with some reporters even labeling her a “crazy ghost Buffalo,” claiming she was crashing into cars as she fled.

We rushed to the scene and found her drenched in blood, a bullet having grazed her forehead ~ thankfully, it hadn’t pierced her skull. We fought to save her life, refusing to send her back to the slaughterhouse, even as angry voices demanded compensation for their damaged cars and called for her to be killed.

With help from kind-hearted people, we rescued her.

The very next morning, in her new home, she gave birth to a baby boy. We named her Mae Sroy, after the scar around her neck, and her son Chokdee, meaning “Lucky.”

Since then, Mae Sroy and her son have lived peacefully among the Buffalo herd at Save Elephant Foundation.

Now very old—Buffaloes typically live around 26–27 years ~ Mae Sroy can no longer walk with the herd. Her son has grown up to become the leader, while Mae Sroy has moved closer to our shelter for more attentive care. She now eats only finely ground, soft food, as her teeth have worn down with age.

Then came the recent flood. Though her shelter was on higher ground, a sudden flash flood swept over the barriers, destroying everything ~ including Mae Sroy’s home. She was gone.

We searched everywhere, fearing the worst.

Our hearts were heavy, believing our beloved old buffalo could not have survived the raging waters. But on the third morning, a miracle happened:

We found her ~ lying in the mud where her shelter once stood. She had come home. When she saw us, she called out, and we cried with joy. I ran to her, and she answered with soft, happy grunts, full of life and relief. Mae Sroy had survived once again.

She truly is a Buffalo with nine lives.

This is the story of one life we saved. At our sanctuary, every animal has a name, a story, and a soul. They are not just Buffaloes or Elephants ~ they are living beings with meaning and worth.

Mae Sroy once ran from death to protect the life growing inside her. And now, once again, she has run from death to protect her own. She is a true survivor, and we will care for Grandma Mae Sroy with all our hearts for the rest of her days” ~ Lek Chailert. 🙏

Humans are a cancer. Self entitled selfish twats The signs not to swim are enormous.
Every single one of these people should be called out. The saddest clip is the swan trying to roll her egg back under her in the water…. How many eggs will go unincubated because they were disturbed?

.@GregoryJonesQC - it seems everyone who knows right from wrong is outraged by this. When are you going to make @cityoflondon DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT? These idiots are breaking the #Wildlife & Countryside Act & deserve to be punished.

[Hunt Saboteurs Association @HuntSabs]

We’ve been watching farmers mowing and bailing this week, shaking our heads as they blame badgers for - well everything - but especially blame them for the decline in ground nesting birds. Luckily we have our own eyes. ⬇️

The ghoulish rituals of staghunters exposed - Last month the Devon and Somerset Staghounds were filmed gawping and creepily fiddling with the stag’s body whilst they awaited the arrival of the huntsman to begin the carve up.

This is what entitlement looks like! 🤬
There are nesting waterbirds on this pond on Hampstead Heath... there are also big 'No Swimming' signs, all being totally ignored! 🤬
Pure selfishness... 😒🤬🤬

[Carl Bovis @CarlBovisNature]

So, today at Hampstead Heath was exactly the same... apparently they've been told to get out by police, but as soon as they leave they all get straight back in again... 😒 Pure entitlement... 🤬
