Walking through the woods I came across this little cub. @BBCSpringwatch returning 5hrs later it had only moved on 15 feet. @RSPCA_official recommend return in the morning. It’s so hard to let nature take its course at times.

My daughter once again joined me in a litter pick. This time she used an adapted shopping trolly to collect litter. Many of the items including glass bottles are recyclable. This adds weight to the bags, so her new invention was invaluable. @ZilchUK @Brentwood_BC

The cub perked up after having a bit of cat food at 4:00pm. It gave him the strength to resume calling for his mother. At 7:00pm there is no sign of him. Happy to think he has been reunited. #fox #nature #HollyWoodBrentwood

@LBC @clivebull I find it painfully insulting and yet typical the opposition are digging up stories (that they have been sitting on) to incriminate the PM, accuse them of acting unlawful and inciting hate. All in an attempt to detract from their own inept performances.
