UK Biodiversity…
The Natural History Museum’s latest research ranks the UK among the most biodiversity-depleted nations in the world, lagging behind 90% of other countries (see here for the full article). It’s time for UK citizens to reconnect with nature and make it a priority!
It’s fantastic to visit schools again!
Mateo and Baley went to Denbury Primary School to give a talk to Years 1 and 2 If you look closely you can see Baley teaching the children about Barn Owls! If you visit our Facebook page, you can watch the video of Baley flying in the classroom! Thank you to Natalie Stone and Denbury Primary School for having us!

Molasses covered Barn Owl!
Have you ever seen a Barn Owl covered in molasses? We hadn’t! This poor bird was found stuck in tub of sheep feed, but was luckily taken to Seymour Vets in Totnes who did an absolutely fantastic job of looking after him. He was then taken to a local rehabilitator for care until he is ready for release.
