Just a heads up! I’m sure many of us will be aware and be looking forward to Sir David Attenborough presenting his latest series. What a national treasure, what an ambassador for wildlife, environmental issues and rewilding. Date for the diary:- 12th March, 8pm on BBC One and iPlayer.👍

Just pointing out that the idea of land ownership is purely a human construct and as such an artificially man-made concept, that is unarguably true. Those species occupying ‘your’ man-made law and land certainly won’t recognise such boundaries or laws. So don’t we have a responsibility to care for these ‘co-owners’ ?
I don’t have a lawn or a field but if I did I’d be willing to accept the above as being true.
Posted on 11/04/2023 17:14 by mickysfI’ve yet to watch this episode although it’s been suggested that everyone should watch it. I understand that a few dinosaurs may have to be dragged screaming and kicking though!
Here is a link which makes for interesting reading about it.

Finally got round to watching this episode. Wonderfully supportive of wildlife, the many challenges facing it and the importance to us humans of restoration and rewilding of their and our shared habitats. A must watch in my opinion, an eye opener and hope for the future. If we heed the many warnings and act now!

Yes, we enjoyed it. Nothing contentious in it for us, in fact it didn’t hit hard enough was our opinion. No mention of the thousands of acres of grouse moors. But some wonderful examples, large and small of what can be done.
I have noticed more and more artificial grass being laid in some places. It looks absolutely awful in my opinion, the next gardening fad to hit wildlife of all shapes and sizes.☹️

Rewilding a small patch in your garden, a corner of a field or on a much bigger scale is happening all around and is beneficial to all. The support is growing. Even the little bits help.
Here’s some useful information which explains what this term really means.

I’m in no way a critic of your actions, Fish. Quite the contrary, every little bit counts and you do your bit as I do mine👍
I’m sure you would be supportive of my voluntary work on those much bigger projects. It’s action that counts not ‘ownership’. I’m not ready yet to retire to an armchair!
