Messages from the Wild

Red squirrels are our native species and have lived in the UK for around 10,000 years. They are facing a population decline, primarily due to competition from the invasive grey squirrel.

With thanks to David Mills who really does make a charming red squirrel. Some of the experts in Messages from the Wild suit their animal down to the ground and David is one of them. If we could imagine what a red squirrel might sound like, this, to me is it.

Visit The British Wildlife Centre and support their conservation and breeding programmes for our wildlife.

Bumblebees are at their peak right now and this Buff Tailed is fairly easy to spot. Keep a look out. This one comes from the collection I made for The Lost Gardens of Heligan, called Voices from the Lost Gardens.

Jimmy Docherty really makes me laugh and he knows his stuff too - farmer, entomologist, television presenter and I would add comedian. 

Visit Jimmy’s Farm and support the Rare Breeds Survival Trust.
