Walking our dogs

Theodore, Dorset Dog of the Year 2019 https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/coronavirus-outbreak-faqs-what-you-can-and-cant-do/ please also check news page for local advice for dog owners

Birds who nest on the ground? Yes it’s true! Young wildlife are very active now and lovely Theodore knows how we can help some of Britain’s rarest birds:

1. Be aware of where birds may be nesting low or on the ground: especially heathlands, wetlands & some downs.

2. Keep ourselves and our dogs on the paths in those places or go to off-lead places like Canford Park SANG, Upton Country Park, Riversmeet Meadows…

Even friendly dogs may scare parent birds away from their nests leaving eggs or chicks exposed to predators or cold, so look out for signs that tell you there may be birds nesting on the ground and what to do to keep them safe. For more info check out: Wagi-do-code
