Theodore, Dorset Dog of the Year 2019

UPDATE: From Weds 13 May: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/coronavirus-outbreak-faqs-what-you-can-and-cant-do/ please also check the news page for local advice for dog owners

Birds who nest on the ground? Yes it’s true! Spring 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.

Even friendly dogs may stop parent birds being able to find a safe nesting place, or scare them away from their nests leaving eggs or chicks exposed to predators and the 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.
