Good afternooning all. Life gets busier at the rescue where baby birds are still the main focus. Here’s a baby blackcap that hasn’t yet grown its tail who has captivated all of us. It has bags of personality This is a European Robin (no relation of the US Robin). They have adorable punk...

Unfortunately I have seen this too late. I am so sorry. I got up atthe crack of dawn and have been out all day :( This chart explains the initial steps Assuming it has to go to rescue, then pop it in a box somewhere warm and quiet until you can get it there. You can offer water by dipping an...

Which particular rumour about Catherine are you referring to? The poor woman gets so much said about her that most of it just passes us by!

Our badger cubs have all been named after musicians… Freddie (Mercury) Elton (John) Jeff (Beck) Dolly (Parton) Ozzy (Osbourne) are the ones that come to mind. We have admitted 19 cubs so far … and it’s hard to remember them all!

This is the video of the Queen with Paddington Bear which led into the band Queen playing “We will rock you”

Good mornooning all. Our road had a platinum jubilee celebration yesterday afternoon - just as well because the weather has turned very stormy since! We have a shared drive and front lawn with 2 neighbours which made for a suitably large area for picknicking while the children made their own...

Sorry to hear you have been so unwell. I hope you’re back on form soon Maggie. x

Yes. It’s breaking news. The Daily Mail has the story now and it’s on their MailOnline website now. It’s definitely gone viral!

Good evenooning all. i just had to share this Instagram post from the rescue where I volunteer. We had a most unexpected visitor. Now I am no fan of Mr Depp, nor his ex wife for that matter, but it’s still extraordinary to have someone like him turn up at our little wildlife hospital!

Daughter is doing OKish. Her ankle is recovering but a cold after her covid gave her sinusitis which triggered a return of the Labyrinthitis (Vertigo) she suffered in 2020. It’s been a miserable couple of years for her, JoesDad and I are currently in Paris for the tennis at Roland Garros so you...

A few more from Shetland which was remote, windy and fabulous! This bird is a proper rarity. A Bluethroat that should have been in Siberia. We were incredibly lucky to be the ones that spotted it while on the island of Fetlar. This is a Broch. About 2500 uears ild, it’s a defended...

Hello strangers. Sorry I have been away for quite a while. Life has been busy and TFO has had to be dropped for a while. Thank you @Gillian M for giving me a poke :) We have now started baby bird season at the rescue so and it’s been keeping me busy. As has the wildlife in my garden with having...

Like Ed, he pops in and out of Facebook and when he posts videos I struggle with his accent too. It’s the broadest of Glaswegian. I suspect most Scots don’t understand it never mind English folk like me ? John went through a very bad patch, Split up with Jade. Went to a very dark place. As far...

The weather in the UK is crazy warm at the moment. It’s far too warm for safe box hibernation. I switched to fridge hibernation because I couldn’t trust the weather to stay cold and stable here in Kent.

Hedgehogs are supposed to be hibernating, but it’s so warm that they’re active and hungry. It is a bit of a problem as there aren’t nearly enough beetles and worms for them to dine on at this time of year. My visitors, of course, have my feed station stocked with cat biscuits to tuck into. The...

Wishing you all a happy and healthy 2022. It’s unseasonably warm here… 13C (55F) at midnight on New Year’s Eve is unheard of! Happy New Year!

A few very short videos for you involving the hedgehogs that visit my garden. a wood mouse discovering that hedgehogs are prickly :D Next door but one’s cat being very afraid to walk past the prickly creature..l sorry this is in 2 parts due to me lacking the technology to join the clips...

Foggy and damp. Friend in Yorkshire had (very wet) snow that settled and drove to relatives in Lancashire. She said it was like someone had flipped a switch. Lancashire had no snow and was bright.

Snails are hermaphrodites (they have both male and female reproductive organs) They don't actually need to mate with another snail in order to reproduce, self fertilisation is possible.

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas however you are spending it. Here in the UK it is Christmas morning and I am drawing breath from an incredibly busy month. Following cancellation of social engagements over the last couple of weeks, and working from home for everyone except me (I had to go...
