Can’t decide what to buy on Prime Day?

Try: absolutely nothing, and then go support indie bookstores instead 📚

Ooh I have 999 followers, that's fun. Wonder who'll be the one to tip it over to a thousand...

There is nothing better than watching these two fuzzy herbivores having an absolute feast in the garden. I've told them I need the grass cut by bedtime.

Oh wow, I'll take that. I think the other guy's reason should probably just pip the post though 😂

Rachel H @rachelape.bsky.social · 4d

Yes.

The update you've all been waiting for: It was treating poorly hedgehogs. Big thanks to @valewildlife.bsky.social for organising a brilliant first aid course at Dorset Hedgehog Rescue yesterday. I learnt a lot I didn't even know I didn't know! Brilliant.

Off to a hedgehog first aid course today. Still not sure what I've signed up to. Am I learning to treat poorly hedgehogs, or teaching them to do CPR?

Will report back.

It's something you don't want to try with lots of people watching 😂 Not the most graceful! Good luck!!!

Ooh I'm doing the same challenge at the moment. Have you heard of Fitbeast resistance bands? You can loop them over the pole and use them to support your weight while you practice. It helps get the right muscles firing!

Very sad news about the passing of Dr Jane Goodall this evening. Such an inspirational woman.

Although I hope her light will radiate through the generations, it's undeniable that the world will be a darker place without her.

RIP after all your efforts and tireless work for our natural world 💚
