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

Congratulations to Max who has received the PDSA O Congratulations to Max who has received the PDSA Order of Merit known as the animals' OBE. It recognises animals that display outstanding devotion to their owner or wider society, above and beyond companionship.

We know that dogs are wonderful for our physical, mental and emotional well-being. 

If that goes hand-in-hand with responsible dog ownership there are strong benefits for the value, care and future protection given to our countryside, green spaces and wild creatures.  Posted @withregram • @teampdsa @maxoutinthelakedistrict_

More signs of Spring You can almost see the energ More signs of Spring

You can almost see the energy waiting to burst in these photos of Lime, Horse Chestnut, Alder and Field Maple buds. Such a variety of colours ranging from purples through to lime greens. Over the next few months leaf buds or flowering buds will start to form. 

Flower buds tend to form on year 2+ growth which is why it’s so important for hedgerows to be managed appropriately, if hedges are cut or flailed each year the plant can’t produce flower buds and as a result, any fruit which is not good for our pollinators, birds or smaller mammals 🐝🐦

Share your wildlife walk spots – we’d love to see them.

Poo or Pellet? After lots of research (including Poo or Pellet? 

After lots of research (including the fact that Harry didn’t roll in it) we ruled out fox poo and we think it might be an owl pellet.

Owl pellets are sausage shaped objects which contain parts of the food that the bird can’t digest and are then ejected through the mouth. Pellets do not pass through the intestine of the bird and are quite different to poo – they don’t smell.

Can you see what looks like broken bits of feather? They consist of things like the bones of birds, small mammals, claws and beaks, insect parts and seeds all wrapped up by softer material like fur, feathers and vegetable fibre.
