@JetandGlory @eiraj2107 Yes, they are such a handy tool. And fabulous that you have hedgehogs in your area. Please do help them with safe food and clean water nightly.❤️

This poor seedy boy is Onslow. I'd seen him on the cameras for 2 nights, racing though my garden, barely stopping long enough to eat. I'd sampled a poo he'd left and it was full of deadly fluke eggs, so I was very happy to catch him at 2.30 this morning, by setting driveway alarms to wake me to his presence. Fluke is a parasitic worm that infects the bile ducts and liver, causing chronic painful inflammation and liver damage, and eventual death if not treated. Hedgehogs get fluke by either being forced through starvation to eat the intermediate hosts (such as slugs and snails, which carry the parasite), or from drinking contaminated water. Please do ensure you keep all outside food and water dishes as clean as you would your own dinnerware. Standing water is dangerous. Always refresh daily. I've seen very kind people leave out water with pebbles in, for insects to access. Unfortunately they tend not to change and wash this daily, so it's a magnet for all sorts of microscopic pathogens, including fluke and mosquito-borne diseases. So to make insect drinkers easier to clean, a shallow dish of water with some floating leaves, or a half submerged stick, or a single large stone, is much safer. Fluke is extremely painful and the hedgehog, without the perspicacity to know the source of the torment they are suffering is inside them, tries to run from the pain. I often get calls from the public saying they have seen a hedgehog out in the day for a couple of days but, "I think he's okay - he's not lethargic or sunbathing like in that poster, he's running around quite happily!" They are devastated to learn that the 'happily racing around' hedgehog they've seen for a couple of days was actually running to escape pure agony. Poor darling Onslow has had his first fluke treatment this morning, along with the critical antibiotic cover and pain relief, and is now sleeping peacefully, probably for the first time in days.❤️

@victorshannock I'm a great believer that redundant churches should be handed over to the community for community projects or to the homeless as accommodation instead of just falling in to disrepair

@JetandGlory I was shocked, the news item escaped me. It’s always been part of the local landscape. Sad to see the coffee pot and mug still standing on the worktop with burnt thatch all around.

Really sad and angry to see this in Bures yesterday. The old cricket pavilion dated back to the 1800s and was a local landmark. So many spiteful people in the world.

Yes, an essential and very handy piece of kit if you have hedgehogs visiting. No more staying up all night waiting, you just put the battery run movement detector in the feeder, and plug the chiming unit in indoors. When a hog arrives at the feeder you'll get a ding-dong (or whatever sound you choose) going off indoors. I'm a very heavy sleeper so I have 4 of them out - one by the gate where they enter the garden and a couple along the way, with the last one in the feeder. By the time all 4 have gone off I'm awake and up and ready to go out and grab them while they're eating.😊 Prices range enormously, but they all work the same. The only difference is the distance they cover. The normal ones, under £20, are fine for the average size garden. If you have a very large garden then the 'owls' are excellent.

@reallycerys I thought we only had a leasehold agreement with the local borough?

Among several nuggets in #CFC's latest accounts released this morning, we can see that Kingsmeadow stadium, where Chelsea's women's and academy sides play, was sold to #CFCW

When you see that black greyhounds wait way longer for forever homes in rescue… 💔 ​It’s true—black greyhounds (and black dogs in general) often experience much longer stays at shelters compared to other coat colors. Let's help change this story! ​These stunning, sleek "velvet noodles" have just as much love, speed, and silliness to give. Look at this amazing airborne greytness! ​If you're looking to adopt a rescue, please consider opening your heart to a black greyhound. They are truly beautiful inside and out. 🖤 ​#AdoptABlackGreyhound #GreyhoundAwareness

Caught red handed on camera - the training techniques used by the Aussie trainers. Our FB page is constantly told by Australian greyhound trainers how they treat their dogs like gold and that we lie. Cameras don't lie but trainers do!!
