So Defra has now extended their flawed consultation on 'badger control' from Monday to 13 May. They need to see sense and stop culling badgers when the disease is mainly spread (94%) cattle to cattle. 230,000 badgers have already been killed - it needs to end #endthecull
My first Patchwork Challenge Little Owl since 2019 at Wheldrake Ings this evening #patchgold also a Whimbrel into roost #PWC2024

Today Badger Trust and Wild Justice have written to Defra - it’s about their ‘future Badger control policy’ consultation. We think it’s shockingly poor.
