As the leaves change colour & fall from the trees - don't over-tidy them! 🍂 🍃 They play an important role in the life cycles of many species - from butterflies to #hedgehogs! 🦋 🦔 💤 If you must tidy gardens, leave a designated patch, edge or corner untouched for #wildlife 💚 📹 Ian Mears & BHPS

Madras hedgehogs, also known as bare-bellied hedgehogs, live in south-eastern Indian. They look very similar to their European hedgehog cousins but have larger ears and a paler face. They live in arid grasslands, and feed on insects. 🎞️ Kurien C. S.

An incredible vid of a stag roaring in the snow by Anthony Williams! “The beautiful red deer are hard to miss in the blanket of white snow that engulfs the winter landscape. But, if you can’t see them straight away, you will definitely hear the stags roar. Just don’t get too close” #Winterwatch ❄️

Earthworms are the staple food of the badger, making up around 80% of their diet. They sometimes eat hundreds of worms every night. However, badgers are omnivores, and will eat almost anything. #LadywalkNR @warwickshirewt.bsky.social @warksmammalgroup.bsky.social
