A good reminder to check twice before that first mow of the season 🐰🌱

Making a safe water spot for wildlife, adding a stick so even the smallest animals like bees, lizards & ants can access it. 👏💚

While on vacation, this man took the time to help guide this confused swan back to the water below.

The bird's reaction when he is back on the water is pure joy. 🥹

Just look at how this clever boy solves the problem of the feeder being bricked up.
How can you not love them?🥰
Hedgehogs have survived, unchanged, for 15 million years.
15 million years!
Just think - our humble little garden visitors once walked with woolly mammoths and sabre-toothed tigers.
They survived so well because they are intelligent, adaptable, courageous and problem-solving.
The fact they are on the brink of extinction now, despite surviving persecution, drought, famine, and the great ice age, is a serious indicator of how deeply in trouble our fragile ecosystem is.

Please do what you can to help these gentle, clever little animals, and our beautiful vulnerable world:

Leave out a dish of clean ice-free water each evening, by your back and front door (just as many animals die of dehydration in the winter as they do in the summer).
Leave the edges of your garden and at least one corner uncut and undisturbed, to allow natural food to live and grow.
Leave the leaves as they fall each year (that blanket of leaves protects next year's insects all through the winter. They'll pollinate our food and feed our hedgehogs, if allowed to sleep and grow under that priceless blanket).
And please don't be tempted to 'tidy up' all the dead plant stalks - our precious pollinators will be overwintering inside those hollow stems.
A dish of dry kitten food placed inside a feeder (see https://t.co/17t0uiehuv for how to make one) would be a life saver for all the hedgehogs who are arising from hibernation right now.

This bird just found out that golf balls bounce on concrete, and he’s having the time of his life 😂
