I just had THE BEST day! 💚 The wonderful folk from @kernowconservation.bsky.social (do please check them out... they're SO worth a follow) invited me to come and watch their latest release of Water Voles, to a site in mid-Cornwall... #wildlife #WaterVoles #Cornwall #mammals

I've been asked how @kernowconservation.bsky.social monitor for signs of Mink (whose past presence devastated already vulnerable populations) before releasing Water Voles into new areas of #Cornwall. This article explains far better than I can... www.wildlifegroundswell.org.uk/stream-testi...

I spoke to Danny Bird at BBC History Magazine about my new book - Domination: apple.news/A5Wpy4TSkQFq...

Exciting news, we have breeding dormice in the woods we care for around Dartmoor 🐭 July and August are when dormice breed. They have one litter with an average of four babies. They then spend about six weeks in the nest with their mother. They need to feed up quickly ready for winter hibernation.

Hope it keeps a wary eye out for Black Shuck. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Having a lovely time at the Vic in Colchester for our TTO. A really great pub with some pretty decent beer tonight 😉 Started off with a pint of the kölsch which won our homebrew competition. Followed up with cask and keg Bolsters Blood side by side. #CraftBeer #CraftBeerUK #RealAle #FolkAles

Some good news for water voles and if you're lucky you might see one at Wicken Fen

Ratty, the charming water vole from Wind in the Willows, has been in deep trouble for decades. But now, thanks to UK wildlife trusts, this riverside resident is making a hopeful comeback. Kate Moore reports

Wildlife Trust @wildlifebcn.org are celebrating the success of their water vole release project - and rightly so. If you wish to know more about Ratty, the shy water vole in Wind in the Willows, and to know where else to see Ratty across our region then read our article 👇

🐭Water voles were found in nearly every waterway in England but are now thought to have been lost from 90% of these sites, making them the fastest-declining mammal in the UK.

Cask ‘the most authentic beer’ says Ossett Brewery www.thedrinksbusiness.com/2025/07/cask... @teamdb.bsky.social

I’m not watching the tennis as I have some paint drying.

Word of the day is ‘swullocking’, from 19th-century East Anglian dialect: sultry, sweltering, and sudiferous (sweat-inducing).

Excellent beach read this summer even if I do say so myself, especially if you want to find out about my irritation that posh flip-flops in Southwold caused (but that’s followed by a tale of a lion in a sidecar and mixed ferm)

It's sunny... it's #FlyDay... and we got you a Puffin! 📷 Paul Browning
