So a dog owner who's off the lead dog got bitten by a "15ft" adder has claimed "a lot" of people have said their dogs have been bitten by a snake + is worried as "these snakes could easily bite a kid" Its scaremongering. In fact statistically there's more danger from her dog!
SOME dog owners have been scaremongering about adders again so here r a few stats: In a year around 250,000 people suffer dog bites but only around 100 adders bites are recorded each year Between 1983 and 2015 there were but 49 people killed by from dogs, but 0 killed by adders

This made my day! No sooner had I just finished filling this latest #wildlifepond in #Essex and popped inside for a cuppa, 15+ #starlings were straight in to enjoy their new source of water, in an otherwise sterile landscape. The wonders of #nature never cease to delight…

Ref: my foxglove tweet from yesterday Yes, foxgloves are poisonous. So are 130 other garden plants, including daffodils, crocus & TOMATOES (leaves)! But you don't eat them, do you? If you're walking around licking & eating plants you don't know anything about.. I can't help you🤷🏼♀️

What award did you win? The award for not giving a shit? The award for stuffing marine life with Microplastics? The award for starving Blackbirds to death? The award for most irresponsible business? You're a worthy winner!

This is a deer running for his/her life yesterday from the barbaric Western Hunt. The hunt made no attempt to call off the hounds. This is the same hunt that killed Mini the cat this year. When will this madness ever end? Why do these criminals keep getting away with it?

Reduced to tears in the street today as the council sprayed pavements with weedkiller. There are >40 species on this road, all small, no trip hazards, all neat. @OxfordCity WHY are you doing this? 😭 We’re in climate & biodiversity crises & #COP26 is going on *in our country*!

Allowing our dogs in the garden whilst being mindful of the heat, we are struck by the differences between the natural grass temperature and the temperature of the small area of plastic grass #Summer #Weather #sunshine #sundayvibes #dogsoftwitter #outdoors #heatwaveuk #dogs #Heat

Came across an example of mass AstroTurfing yesterday, so I thought I'd look at estate agent websites to see what the garden once looked like. We are really gifted at self-destruction, aren't we?

Growing up, my Muslim family never celebrated Christmas. This year I am not going home, because pandemic, so my roommates are teaching me how to have my first proper Christmas. I am approaching this with anthropological precision. Here are a few observations.

Another reason why PETA totally suck. Such a terrible organisation (look into it online there are countless stories) I’d like to see your wildlife preserve or your 1,000's of acres saving animals from extinction? Steve Irwin spent his whole life wanting to save animals
#SteveIrwin was killed while harassing a ray; he dangled his baby while feeding a crocodile & wrestled wild animals who were minding their own business. Today’s #GoogleDoodle sends a dangerous, fawning message. Wild animals are entitled to be left alone in their natural habitats.
