SS15 wildlife watching

This blog was set up in mid-March 2020 during the emerging COVID-19 health crisis in the UK. It initially aimed to provide records of wildlife sightings and photographs from sites within walking distance of my home in the SS15 postcode area of Basildon in Essex during lockdown travel restrictions. Even though the pandemic has largely subsided, this blog continues to include my local wildlife sightings, my trips away from home plus some personal thoughts and reflections on other issues.

Reintroducing Wolves to Highlands could help native woodlands

The environmental and ecological benefits arising from the re-introduction of Wolves are clear but cue the ill-informed backlash from the usual suspects!

We need to restore and rewild our country and that includes the reintroduction of species such as Beaver, Lynx and Wolf that we have previously driven to extinction.
