Wildcat kittens were thought to typically disperse from their mother around six months old 🐾

Since the first wild births to released females in 2024, the team have been monitoring the litters. It's been fascinating to record them dispersing from as early as four months old 🗓

#WorldMigratoryDay theme this year is bird friendly cities, towns & communities. I would love to see more woodlands, large ponds, fruit & berry trees & less light pollution. The wish list is much longer of course.
Here’s 2 Winter visitors in my garden.

More than half of all bird species are in decline. But good news about green sea turtles - we can save species if we really try!

#RedSquirrelAwarenessDay this little one was scampering in Argaty woodland, Doune. Sat for hours watching their endless enthusiasm caching hazelnuts. 🧡

Second brood round about September. These little ones need to put on weight to get through winter & hibernation. Supplementary feeding by human guardians & hedgehog box for shelter will help. Seek more advice from your local wildlife rescue x www.gracethehedgehog.co.uk/day-time-hed...

Fantastic day on the Wirral watching wind blown Leach's Petrels leaving the river Mersey. The last couple of birds passed within metres over the beach on the ebbing tide!

Didn't think I'd end up in situations like this when I started helping street dogs. A drug dispute and one of my fav dogs shot 5 times.

Luckily some silver linings
