This was written on the 22nd of April 2020-the 50th anniversary of 'Earth Day' where people come together to celebrate and pledge to protect our environment.

Tintagel Island marooned until only very recently, home to fantastic
scenery and wildlife. Sea bird colonies and rich meadows
carpet the clifftops while up to 3m long Grey Seals
inhabit the kelp forests below the waves.

A Common Adder, our only native
venomous snake. But are they
really all that bad?

This blog is going to talk in-depth about the wildlife I share my little piece of the environment with here in the UK. Although some people declared the UK 'biologically dead' years ago, it's no secret that it still hosts some phenomenal species. From White Storks, and the third-largest Eagle on Earth, to Reindeer, Beavers, and a species of feline amongst the rarest creatures on the planet. I hope to showcase it all, from the "boring" species we see every day to those some consider extinct.

I'm hoping to excite you all about our stunning wildlife, and hopefully even shine a new light on our unique micro-climate. I'll also delve into what we humans are doing to it, which isn't necessarily 'fashionable', and is a turn off for lots of people, but 'if you're in for a penny, you're in for a pound' and although none
of us, like talking about it we're putting our planet in serious danger.
of us, like talking about it we're putting our planet in serious danger.
So, while this isn't set in stone yet, every Monday at 3:00pm I'll post a new piece of writing about anything from how to watch wild badgers, to information about mysterious panther sightings in Cornwall. I hope you enjoy it and are inspired to have a different outlook on the wildlife right under our noses.
