BBC Earth Oh gosh, BBC Earth please delete this harmful nonsense! Don't you realise there are people who will believe even this absolute guff and harm hedgehogs because they think they are covered in poison?? It's not true, and is utterly ridiculous! Clearly the author knows nothing

Yesterday and this morning I've had lots of calls about hedgehogs seen out during the day. Please make no mistake, this is an emergency. A hedgehog out in the day is seriously ill and needs 𝘂𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁 treatment from a rescue (never a vet). These are hedgehogs who have risen

Look at this.👀 F***book is absolutely full of this AI rubbish.🤨 What makes me laugh is the claim of 'great photography'.. but what's really depressing are the comments underneath, a LOT of people thought this was an ACTUAL PHOTOGRAPH! 🙄 Just wait til AI becomes lifelike..

I'm still looking for a proper artist/ illustrator job. If anyone knows of any dream jobs with Penguin, Harper Collins or another publisher, "please retweet"**. I can paint fast but can only use a school computer from 1985 with a green screen. Thank you !🙏

Alakananda Ma #FBPE 🌎 Oh for goodness sakes, not that again. Thank you, well spotted. Absolutely not! Aside from the expected dangers of Salmonella, Listeria, Campylobacter and E. coli, meat alone is very high in phosphorus and low in calcium, leading to fatal Metabolic Bone Disease in hedgehogs,

Had a wonderful surprise today whilst weeding a border at work. It looks like the Primula bulleyana that I got from Shadyplants.com last year at a local Rare Plant Fair has also grown an Orchid from the compost. 🤗 Blooming fantastic!!

Well this is a new one for me! I’ve never seen or had a dahlia shoot from the middle of tuber before! 😳 I even poked my fingers underneath to see if it was rotted or hollow and something was growing up through it but No, it’s definitely coming from the tuber 🤷‍♂️ 🌱

We dug divided a clump of Impatiens tinctoria yesterday at work to introduce it into another area of the garden. I was expecting tubers like a dahlia BUT I wasn’t expecting this!!! 😳 It must be at least 2 and a half foot long!! Original plant came from 🌿Helen Brown

Worcs Wildlife Trust I've just had a call from a woman who saw a hedgehog out in the day, in the middle of the road, on her way to work this morning. She had no idea that meant he was terribly sick and suffering from hypothermia, desperately seeking the sun's warmth from the road's surface, and in

Paul Holmes No, please don't be fooled by these perverts! These foul monsters who enjoy torturing and killing animals spread these lies about badgers. Badgers aren't hunters, they are foragers just like hedgehogs, and live peaceably side by side, as they have done for around 125,000 years.

Trees for Life Oh gosh no, no they don't, please take this down, you are doing so much harm! You are perpetuating folklore that good rescues all over the country spend their precious limited time busting every single day. Slugs and snails carry lungworm, which is deadly to ALL mammals,

Anyone else buy some Zinnia elegans, 'Burpeeana' seeds from Chiltern Seeds and they actually turned out to be radishes and possibly parsnips ?! 🤣 I’m surprised I didn’t recognise the seeds when I sowed them. 😬

It was lovely to be able to share a moment with these woodpeckers and their young this morning at work. One even taking the opportunity for a bathing session. All this going on within 20ft of me🤗
