I'm "in nature," but I am on a public footpath. Would I be more "in nature" if I strayed off this path and walked among this habitat mix of wildflower and seed? Surely, to do so would be nothing more than a selfish, human-centric act?

Job opportunity…. Calling all harvest students who’ve had their jobs cut short by good weather! The real business of harvesting potatoes is about to kick off. Good hours, good kit, good pay…DM me for details. Thanks

All those new homes getting built in rural areas, all those new cats living in those new houses. Yet, the depletion of songbird numbers is definitely the fault of the farmers...😐

In the past few days we’ve seen the Environment Agency trash a sand martin colony and a serial egg collector receive a paltry suspended sentence for stealing curlew eggs. Not a pip from Wild Jizz, Mr Aviary, Mr Pacman or Dr Block. Ah, but those General Licenses! #NotAntiShooting

Now, consider a future where social media is full of ‘nest cam’ pics from ‘keepers all over the country and the headlight-lit, 400yd gut-shot fox is a thing of the past. In the age of 4G and the smart phone have it in our power to shape our own narrative... (May 2019)

A family is heartbroken after their three Cocker Spaniel puppies were stolen from their home in the Rougham area on Friday night. The puppies are all microchipped. Can you help us find them? More details here >> ow.ly/2MkY50DuCfn
