Got to be kidding! These goats were supposed to be helping with grazing, just not in that field. #northcornwallnt #stowebarton #nationaltrustsouthwest #goatsforyou - #regrann via our very own @northcornwallntrangerjeff

Wednesdays weather forecast is for (heavy) showers.

Just look at that beautiful smile! So far this autumn it's been a busy season for stranded seal pups along the coast. The volunteer team from the @bdmlr_uk have been busy dropping everything at the ring of the phone and rushing to beaches, coves and harbours to help monitor, and if necessary rescue. This little male, about a month old, was picked up in Boscastle Harbour on Thursday 3 October. He was under weight, dehydrated and had sore flippers with cuts and bruses. He got emergency care at the scene, and then was transferred to the seal sanctuary at Gweek, where he'll be looked after and released when fit. If you happen to see a seal stranding, here's what to do. Never put yourself in danger with the sea 🌊. . ......if it is alone and appears in distress, the actions which you take may mean the difference between life and death for the animal If the pup has a fluffy white coat it still needs it's mother. She will only return to feed her pup when she feels it is safe to do so. It is a wild animal, it may bite and can carry infectious diseases. The mother may reject the pup if it is handled. It may be out of the water for a good reason. If the pup is thin, injured or seems unwell (noisy breathing, coughing, runny nose) it probably needs help. telephone the British Divers Marine Life Rescue (BDMLR) team on 01825 765546 or 07787 433412 - Wherever you live around the world, check out your nearest rescue organisation. Be ready to get help when you discover an injured animal.

National Insect Week

June 22, 2010clethkernow

Insects are great!

It’s National Insect Week this week 21 – 27 June.

What’s your favourite?

Pearl Bordered Fritillary for me – delicate, pretty and if it’s flying it means a sunny day.
