Whenever we do a school visit, and ask the children ‘What do Firefighters do?’ High on the list of answers is usually ‘Rescue cats from trees!’… not today!
This afternoon we were called by a concerned member of the public, to a cow stuck in a tree… and no, that’s not a typo!

A glorious day for our monthly Leith Clean-up with 40+ people out helping, including plenty of new faces! We removed loads of rubbish from the water, the shores, and the surrounding streets, and broke the record for cans collected, which now stands at 326! Thanks everyone!

I can't imagine many things more stressful for a migratory animal like a #salmon than for it to be shut in a tiny cage to circle for the duration of its life. Would we tolerate the same treatment of swallows? Lets be aware of the stress we cause others on this day.

Just don't.
Please.
It's so cruel.
Stress kills wildlife.
Please choose kindness.
We have so many ways of entertaining ourselves which don't involve the suffering and death of animals.

Thieves have struck at the last stronghold of England’s rarest ant species, says Devon Wildlife Trust. A nest belonging to Narrow-headed Ants was removed without permission from its Chudleigh Knighton Heath nature reserve in south Devon. c-js.uk/4ikl8Q7

I captured an amazing site of a kingfisher hovering today.
They can flap their wings at a rate of 8 to 15 beats per second.

The Ocean Cleanup is now $40M/year short of what’s needed to stop up to 1/3rd of all plastic flowing into the oceans by 2030.
That’s less than 1% of what America spends on Halloween decorations each year.

The reality of living with #ScottishSalmon farming. Industrialisation by stealth of #rural areas. It's like living beside any smelly, noisy, disruptive factory. Belo 'well boat' lights strobbing through a window in the wee hours. It only suits those profiting from despoilation.

The real horror of Halloween.
Artificial cobweb: a bit of fake fun for you, but a very real and terrifying death for them.
If you see your neighbours using it, it's possible they don't know the danger so please print out this simple leaflet and pop it through their door:
tinyurl.com/HalloweenHedge…
The fine, strong synthetic fibres of this lethal 'web' are difficult for animals to see at dusk and can quickly wrap around their legs, wings, and neck, trapping and killing birds, insects and mammals.
When Eden the hedgehog struggled to free herself the web tightened, cutting off circulation and causing deep wounds.
Can you imagine the pain and sheer terror?
And then seeing dawn approach, while hanging there, tightly bound and helpless, only an inch above the ground but suffering slow strangulation.
Aside from being stressed, dehydrated, starving and exhausted, she also had horrific bite/peck wounds to her face, where she had been held there, helpless, unable to curl and defend herself, while a predator tried to eat her alive.
Tragically her constriction injuries were too severe to survive, and poor Eden had to be put to sleep.
If you have used this deadly cruel trap to 'decorate' your garden, I beg you - take it down now.
Please spread this vital information, and help save lives.
