@northwildlife.bsky.socialJays eat invertebrates, and are famous for enjoying acorns (and other nuts and fruits) during the autumn; they will also cache their finds for later. The acorns that jays collect and bury in the autumn often get forgotten, growing into oak saplings and eventually trees.
@northwildlife.bsky.socialAs autumn colours begin to transform the landscape and the evenings draw in, join us for the final public open day of the year at our West Chevington site near Druridge Bay, this Saturday 🍂🍄

@northwildlife.bsky.socialChildren don’t just need education.
They need to feel safe, connected and supported.
Nature helps do all of that.
It shapes how their brains develop and supports their mental health.

@northwildlife.bsky.socialHazel dormice hibernate over the winter, but if food is scarce outside of hibernation season, they can save energy by dropping their body temperature and going into a state of 'torpor'. In fact, dormice can spend nearly three-quarters of the year 'asleep' – and are known to snore!
