Welcome to Litsy!

"Timing a trip to look for Scottish wildcats is difficult in a way, but in another way it's not: no matter what time you go, you're almost guaranteed not to see one."

About halfway through, and I'm really enjoying this book ?
???????????????

Skye does *not* pose for photographs! I had to edge as close as she'd tolerate to take this. She's not a wild "Highland Tiger", but she doesn't mess about either. She is often playful, but absolutely on her own terms. We're loving getting to know her idiosyncrasies? #Caturday
The book is about the natural history of and conservation efforts for the Scottish wildcat, of which few now survive that aren't hybridised with domestic cats ?

Loving my view this week. 😍

If, like me, you‘ve read all the Anna Pigeon books and are looking for something similar to fill that gap, look no further! Alex is a field biologist who goes to rural Montana for a wolverine study on protected land. After an extremely frosty reception from the locals, she sees a man running and vomiting on her one trail camera and things get going from there. I‘ve already put book 2 on hold.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Lawrence Anthony details his struggle to save the last northern white rhinos.

Wonderfully written, albeit a hard read especially because rhinos are my favorite animal.

Really interesting story of the 1930‘s flashy dress designer who fell in love with China and brought back the first live panda. It went to Brookfield Zoo in Chicago area. Author did a lot of research and it reads very well like Seabiscuit a few years ago.

Saw this on my BBC feed today and LOVED it! I only have Litsy has my social, but if any of you can spread the word of this adorable kid so that it reaches Sir David himself for his 99th birthday, that would be incredible!

Someone told me this was really good several years ago!

Random book from our home library:

📖 Wild Hares & Hummingbirds: The Natural History of an English Village by Stephen Moss

Iv given this amazing authors book 5 stars even though I found some of the content extremely difficult to read being a huge animal lover , poaching is evil ,cruel, disastrously damaging to these wonderful creatures, who with a normal heart soul and mind could do such a thing ! The daily fight against these evil people and the removal of snares ! The chapters about the orphaned baby animals and the trauma they‘ve endured at the hands of humans
