I am interesting in how changes in cities with lockdown will affect urban wildlife behaviour. If anyone sees anything please retweet & @ProfDawnScott. Going to keep a log of how urban animals are responding. Thanks #foxes #hedgehogs #badgers

Just saw my first hedgehog on Keele campus. Very excited. A young one from this year. Hope some of the Life Sci students might be keen on helping to monitor our campus hogs! @KeeleLifeSci
