Watch out for our prickly friends

The Hedgehogs are waking up some have been awake all winter
PLEASE be aware that they maybe near or on the ROADS.
PLEASE drive slowly in areas you know there are a lot of hogs,like your village,your town,and near your gardens.
Hedgehogs when they wake from hibernation can be a slow process for them,and lots will be disorientated, dehydrated and wobbly,and wander from embankments,hedgerows,where they have had their nests,and roaming from garden to garden.
Remember hogs don't see well.
Help keep our prickly friends safe.

What should you do if you find a hibernating queen bumblebee? 🐝👑

You might come across a hibernating queen when carrying out winter or spring jobs in your garden, such as repotting plants, turning compost or planting bulbs 🪴

If you accidentally disturb a hibernating bumblebee, don’t panic! Gently cover her back over with the same material that she had dug into and leave her be 🐝💤

🍂 If she is buzzing around and won’t go back into hibernation, place her somewhere sheltered (for example, under some leaf litter).

🚫 Bumblebees need to be outside to complete their lifecycles, so never take them indoors.

Everyone needs a Dave. My buddy who helped me fix up our new Waterbutt. We have torrential rain and hailstones at the moment so should help raise the level.
