And here's the fantastic photo of lady nights Short Eared Owl taken by Jeremy, this week's guest at Curlew Cottage. What a gorgeous bird.
Short Eared Owl hunting just now one field south of Llyn Traffwll #Anglesey
Don't think I've ever seen one in August before.

Before the election: 'Labour will end the badger cull'
After the election: 'We will not scrap existing cull licences'
Pro badger-culling NFU President Tom Bradshaw met with Defra Secretary Steve Reed the other day.
RT if you want the badger cull to end!

There is a lot of bad advice being shared online about what to do if you find a grounded Swift.
DO NOT try to feed it
DO NOT throw it in the air.
DO put it in a large cardboard box with a lid and follow the excellent advice set out below #hertsbirds

Please sign this petition calling on Welsh Government to legislate to ensure swift bricks are included in all new buildings in Wales.

Coastal walk at #Aberffraw today & no fewer than 5 choughs landed nearby. UK’s rarest crow, confined to western cliffs, but a common sight on #Anglesey with beautiful red bill & unique clanging call. @mandy_forde

Time for the Boxing Day hunt parades to end. Councils need to stand up to these wildlife criminals.
RT if you agree!
And drop us a follow as we work to end all hunting with hounds in 2024. @ProtectTheWild_
