Some feel good/interesting wildlife stories

The following caught my eye.

Tunnel of love for Dormice relates to the building of a tunnel at a quarry in Somerset to enable Dormice to cross across the road some the colony doesn't become isolated.

Adonis Blue returns home is a story about the National Trust restoring an area of chalk grassland in Gloucestershire. The Adonis Blue butterfly had not been seen there for more than 40 years. Now "large" numbers have returned.

Rare Hedgehog discovered in town is about an albino hedgehog in Leicestershire.

I've just discovered that Radio 4 had a programme about Hedgehog Courtship last June. If you want to listen to it there is a link.

Thanks for those links, I would never think of looking for things like that myself. It is heartwarming to know that a lot of people do still care for our wildlife and nature. That albino hoggy is adorable. I want him! And all the trouble those guys went to for the dormice, brilliant. :)
