Morning Starters: Spring 1 - Woodland Wonders
Did You Know?
When snow blankets Britain’s woodlands, robins struggle to find worms beneath the frozen ground. Luckily, wild boar, which are making a comeback in the UK after being hunted to extinction in the 17th century, are coming to their rescue. These powerful animals plough up the soil with their snouts, bringing hidden worms to the surface. Their return is great news for robins and other creatures that depend on this forest feast!
