Who else's pet wakes them up like this? 🐓🐕🐈🐇🐍 #BHWT #HappyHens #ExBatts #ExBatteryHens

Hup and I would like to say a big well done to British Hen Welfare Trust who are working really hard now that hen rehomings are allowed to take place again. They are only a small charity and are all mucking in to get as many hens new homes as possible. Essex this weekend!

An irony with weedkiller is that instead of making green spaces 'neat & tidy', it makes them ugly. While so-called 'weeds' or wildflowers can bring joy and colour, while helping wildlife for no cost or effort! As shown by these contrasting verges in our town last spring 🐝

Even a small reduction in mowing lawns and public spaces like parks, road islands, roadverges & green corners can let wildflowers grow - offering a lifeline to bees & other pollinating insects. An easy, cost-saving, emissions-reducing way to give nature a chance 🐝 #BeesNeedsWeek

Who needs a guard dog..? Beware the guard hen 🐓💪 #HappyHens #ExBats #ExBatteryHens

Starts tomorrow. Get involved with the big #ButterflyCount

As we start rehoming again, spare a thought for the boys. We have lots of beautiful cockerels looking for homes on our Lonely Hearts page: bhwt.org.uk/adopt-a-cocker… Cockerels aren't for everyone, but if you're able to, consider welcoming one of these boys into your life 🐓💖

The UK has lost 7.5m acres of wildflower meadow & flower-rich grassland since the 1930s. But nearly 1400 insect species rely on them for survival. Let's protect our last 3% of meadows, plant wildflowers, and allow more green spaces to be less over-mown 🐝

I’m home, I’m happy and thankful to all who look after us in #Aotearoa quarantine, keeping #NZ covid free . We owe you everything. My #rescue chooks are gradually getting used to freedom too, but it’s tentative. Sometimes they just huddle up together for comfort . Aahh.

Due to the heightened risk of #AvianInfluenza, new housing measures for #Poultry & captive birds will be introduced from 14 December 2020 in England, Scotland & Wales.

The many many many reasons for protecting nature include the fact that it is amazing! As shown by these sandpipers and their stunning boomerang-shaped display...
