Love wildlife, particularly hedgehogs. 🦔 Wildlife gardening enthusiast.

I went to the garden centre yesterday and was really disappointed that peat-free compost still makes up a very small share of that available. If you would like to help speed up the ban, please sign this Wildlife Trusts petition: https://t.co/ytAmWo9r2T #wildlifeuk

My daughter spotted this army of buff-tip caterpillars on an oak tree. It’s often my children who notice the cool things. 🙂 #buglife #DevonWildlife @Devon_Wildlife #DevonWildlifeTrust #natureforchildren ⁦@Buzz_dont_tweet⁩ ⁦@DevonWildlife⁩

Thank you so much to @DartmoorZoo and @benjaminmee1 for providing my children with the chance to be Zoo Rangers this week. They have come home very inspired and my daughter told her Dad last night that she wants to work there one day! #zoological #conservation #wildlifeeducation

⁦@BluewaveKayaks⁩ I am loving this board!

We planted a new wildlife border this year. Not only is it another reason to get outside, but it has been so rewarding to sit here and watch lots of bees visiting it. #homesforwildlife #rspbhomesforwildlife #rhs @DevonWildlife

I just read this really interesting article about slug pellet replacements for the soon to be illegal metaldehyde slug pellets. I still think the best way to stop slugs eating our plants is to encourage their natural predators. #homesforwildlife #rspb https://t.co/CHug3HTXbu

I really hope this cat deterrent is working. This fledgling has been on the ground for an hour and a half. #Springwatch @BBCSpringwatch

We all have a responsibility to ensure when we visit beaches we don't disturb our wildlife. This is important for all species but very much so for ground nesting birds such as the ringed plover 💙 #Springwatch

[The Wildlife Trusts @WildlifeTrusts]

Peat in bogs - not bags! To combat the climate and nature emergency, peat needs to stay put.
Will you help look after these beautiful habitats for the wildlife that rely on them? 🌍
Support our call for an immediate ban on peat-based products!

This is almost funny. AQA used the snippy tool on past papers and pasted them into a slightly blurry Word document.

You couldn’t make it up . . . and you don’t have to ! They want to kill more raptors so they can kill more grouse . . .

[Hedgehog Society @hedgehogsociety]

We have been asked to share this - great advice regarding not rescuing too soon! We all want what's best for hedgehogs and that is leaving in the wild whenever possible and only intervening when necessary.
