🍂 Leave the Leaves!
​Don't rake! Your fallen leaves are free compost & natural mulch. More importantly, they provide vital shelter for overwintering pollinators (bees, butterflies!) and support wildlife.
​Protect your garden ecosystem! 🌳 #LeafLitterLove #SaveThePollinators

It's National Apple Day! 🍎🍏🎉
There are so many reasons to celebrate this crisp, delicious fruit. From tiny, sweet crab apples to big, juicy cooking apples, they truly do come in all shapes and sizes!

It might look like a tree full of bright green leaves, but zoom in! This tree is actually absolutely packed with Ring-necked Parakeets getting ready to roost for the night. You can really see why these incredible birds are so successful in our parks and cities.

This young rabbit looked like it was suffering from Myxomatosis. 💔
​I always notice quite a few rabbits with this viral disease after the harvest—when cover is reduced, it often makes the disease more visible in the wild population. A tough but common sight.

It's National Badger Day today, and what better way to celebrate than with this amazing trail camera footage! 🤩 Watch this trio of badgers having a proper play-fight.

A few weeks ago we found a caterpillar in our broccoli 🐛
We looked after it & today it emerged into a beautiful butterfly

Strange thing to find!
Was throwing it away the right thing to do ?

Tattoo stencil reveal.
Think of it like a guide for the tattoo artist to follow, ensuring accuracy and precision in the final artwork.

Balloons snagged on thorny scrub.
This isn't the wild, untamed beauty Knepp represents; this is the careless intrusion of human celebration.
Would a grazing animal mistake a deflated piece for food? Would a bird become entangled in the trailing string?

I’ve teamed up with Leah an incredible tattoo artist from a new studio in Ramsgate to bring you some awesome content.
Yes, I’m getting my first tattoo! It’s going to be big and real special.

This morning a Cormorant lay dead beneath the pylons on Minster Marshes.

The thin wire that had ended its life hummed faintly in the breeze, oblivious to the life it had extinguished.

National grid want to add ever more, bigger pylons 😡
