Can you hear them yet? 🫣 You know what we're talking about... the sound of teeny tiny fox pitter-patters😬

We've heard on the grapevine that cubs have already been in need of rescue, so it certainly won't be long before our woodlands, fields and gardens will be filled with curious noses, wobbly steps, and the sweetest rustle of new life.

If she hasn’t already, the vixen will soon be going to ground. Hidden away in her den, she’ll remain there for several weeks - nurturing, protecting, and devoting herself entirely to her brand-new little brood.

Saw a fox waiting for scraps at a pub's kitchen door in SW London.🦊

All they want is to live the life they were meant to live.❤️‍🩹

I'm a crow, and I get wet and cold too, yet many people don't want me in their gardens because they just want to see small song birds. Often, food can be difficult to find in February, and the cold wet nights can be long, and sometimes I struggle to see another day. I will eat things like small meaty dog bites and small dried dog food that I can soak in some water and peanuts to keep me going.

I hope this makes you think. Choosing what is welcome and what is not welcome into our gardens is not how we help wildlife recover.
Some people say, "I only get wood pigeons, crows and magpies visit." So what is wrong with that? They are still part of our UK wildlife and face the same challenges as the smaller song birds.

I’m a Wood Pigeon. I’m clever enough to recognise myself in a mirror, but I’m still vulnerable to the cold February weather. 🌧️

I know I’m not always the "guest of honor"—many people prefer the colourful songbirds—but I’m out here struggling through the same long, freezing February nights. I’ll gladly hoover up the scraps other birds drop. I'm a big bird and eat a lot, but a seat at the table (or my own ground feeder) would be nice.

Wildlife recovery isn’t about picking favourites. A life is a life, whether it’s a tiny Blue Tit or a big, clumsy pigeon. Let’s help them all.
