#Wildlife So, Sweden is wiping out 20% of its brown bears. The UK has killed half its badgers - over 200,000. Canada is shooting starving polar bears because garbage is left out. That's just today's reports in one newspaper. theguardian.com/environment/ar…

Very excited about creating my very own wildlife pond, Kate Bradbury 🏳️‍🌈 🥰 I had one in my garden as a kid & I have many happy memories, observing it come alive with dragonflies, frogs & newts. We even had a Mallard bring her ducklings for a break from the canal one spring day!

'The greatest existential crisis we face distilled into the crucible of a tiny piece of paradise.' Chris Packham One Garden Against the World from Kate Bradbury 🏳️‍🌈 is an inspiring call to arms, showing that we can all make a difference in the fight against climate change.

Wake up!

Today we rowed out to a divine little island in Clew Bay. Unfortunately the island was covered in litter. We picked up all we could find including piles of these awful rubber rings used in oyster farms. Terrible to think of them wrapped round sealife.

Oh Twitter! My neighbours have had scaffolding up for a few days... I've been meaning to go round to ask if they would put up a swift box but I just walked past and... they already have! Now to go round and give them a hug! YAY!

Honestly I'm crying a little bit. Never underestimate the power of people to do GOOD. So much scaffolding going up everywhere ...so many holes being filled in. But here, two new boxes for chicks. HOPE 🙏

Another date for the One Garden Against the World tour! Excited about this one as I so rarely come up North. Find me at Wildlife Arts Festival in Otley on 25th October! Link and more here: linktr.ee/katebradbury
