This slow worm didnβt stand a chance.
The density of free-roaming domestic cats is out of hand, and nature has no defence. They kill millions of our birds, bats, reptiles, moths & butterflies yearly. Let's give wildlife a fighting chance. ππ #ProtectOurWildlife

Finding this old water wheel near Shipley was a brilliant surprise. It sits downstream from the Mill Pond at the Knepp Estate, a remnant of the old ironworks that once dominated this landscape.

The hidden cost of the spring silage cut: ππ Intensive late-spring cutting destroys thousands of nesting birds like Skylarks.
Instead of turning a blind eye, simple changes like thermal imaging and wildlife-safe cutting patterns can save generations. π¦

Meet Shepherdβs Purse πΎ standard "weed" or historical wonder? You decide!
Did you know this little wildflower gets its name because its seed pods look exactly like tiny, heart-shaped leather pouches? In the past, shepherds actually used bags shaped just like this! π

We love getting Cheep, our rescued house sparrow, outside in her aviary. Itβs bittersweet, thoughβtoday she made a wild friend! π
A cat attack as a fledgling left her unable to fly, so she can't survive free. We keep her safe & spoilt, but moments like this are so sad. π¦βοΈ

It's been a hot one π₯΅ Have you been enjoying the sea, rivers or lake today?
Thames Water has genuinely asked the Government for a 15-year 'holiday' from environmental laws so they can be completely immune from prosecution.

That symmetric perfection. π The Ouse Valley Viaduct in West Sussex looks like something straight out of a movie. Built in 1841 with 11 million bricks, and it still takes your breath away.
Have you visited this incredible spot yet? π

White Stork at Knepp Estate. Hearing and seeing them in the English countryside still feels like a dream. Kneppβs rewilding project has brought these magnificent birds back to nesting in the UK for the first time in centuries, and watching them up close is pure magic.

sad to find this large dead hedgehog. ππ¦
What makes it worse is finding it right next to a grass bund that is obsessively cut and trimmed down to nothing.
and before the narrowminded idiots comment, no there are no badgers in this area.
