Wondering if we might have a Wildcat Hybrid on our hands @SaveOurWildcats (from an untrained eye, it does reasonably well on the Pelage scoring). Certainly keeping the garden rabbit population down 😺 We’ve emailed the photos as well.

Haven’t watched Grand Designs for years, but Kevin seems like a good bloke - went out of his way to pick up @snap2grid’s hat when it blew off and up the street outside Manchester Piccadilly a few years back. 🤠

Renewing my occasional crowdsourcing query, if anyone spots a new legal crowdfunder being launched with a Scottish connection, can you let me know? By the end of 2024, I'll have ten years' worth of data, which is a nice round number.

URGENT! Pls share. The last chance to register to vote in the General Election is 11.59pm tomorrow Tue 18 June. Potentially 8m aren't registered at their current address. Here's 4 key facts... 1) You can do it online here registertovote.service.gov.u… 2) It's good for your finances. Not being on electoral roll can make it more difficult to be accepted for credit products like bank accounts or mortgages. 3) You can opt out of the 'Open Register' (which allows your info to be sold on) which will stop you getting junk mail marketing ) 4) You'll need ID when you do vote (not to register) if you don't have it, you can get it free until Wed 26 June gov.uk/apply-for-photo-id-vo…

Took this photo of a hare in the drive this morning. She subsequently decided that she liked the look of our roundabout (what we lovingly call the thing in the middle of the drive) for a nursery. There are now 2 leverets (at least) in there. WTF Nature?!
