Autumnwatch series 2 episode 1

We were re-introduced to Martin Mere. We caught up with the migrant Whooper Swans and Pink-Footed Geese to name but a few birds. We discovered “Duck Cam” and were introduced to the Somerset Wildlife Trust base where Simon is. We saw some beavers called Woody & Twiggy. There was a teaser for what is to come in “Super Whooper”. We also had a little catch up with last year’s Red Deer. So mainly an introduction to series 2 of Autumnwatch.

Remember Remember

Tomorrow is Bonfire Night. It is a dangerous time of year for many animals. Here are a few safety tips.

• Keep your pets inside
• If there are pets not very far away, don't have fireworks (except sparklers)
• Check the bonfire for hedgehogs and other animals
• Be with your pets for as long as possible

Follow the above and let you & your pet have a stress-free 5 November. But expect many sad story's to come.

Prince Harrier

On Wednesday, Prince Harry was questioned about the death of two hen harriers. The birds are very rare and if you kill one you will either be given a £5000 fine or get sent to jail for six months.

He was believed to be in the same area as the creatures when they were shot. The prince stated that he knows nothing about the deaths.

It is saddening to hear of the deaths. No-one knows who actually murdered them except from anyone who was with the person who committed it at that time or the person who committed it themself.

Boaring!

Seventy boar on the loose in Devon after vandals cut the wire to their enclosure. One hundred and forty animals were released but only half have been caught. A similar thing happened one year ago.

You should stay away from them as they can be very dangerous. It is predicted that they will go home overnight due to being hungry, but this might not happen. Their owner is really worried in case they die out in the wild. But there are a lot of other farms that are having the same problem.

Wild Worries for Tigers

There are worries about the future of the world's biggest cat. There are as few as 1300 Indian Tigers left in the wild. This is due to poaching & habitat destruction.

Also, in countries like China & Nepal, the skins of the creatures are being sold illegally. I hope the animals' numbers go back up, but drastic action is happening. Please comment. Thank you.
