What’s your favourite animal?

It’s got to be red pandas! They look so cute and fluffy, although I suspect in the wild they are probably not so nice!

What got you interested in animals?

I grew up with cats, dogs, hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits goldfish, and even a goat at one point, so I couldn’t help but be interested! šŸ˜‚

Do you have a pet?

No sadly most rental properties over here don’t allow pets, so I haven’t owned one for years.Ā

What is your favourite non-fiction book about animals?

I’m not sure I actually have a favourite, although I have listened to a few recently that I thoroughly enjoyed. Hugh Bonneville reading an abridged version of Gerald Durrell’s My Family and Other Animals is brilliant so it could be this as I’ve listened to it twice now.

What’s your favourite fiction book about animals?

It’s got to be the Narnia books, which are full of animals!

Have you been part of any animal conservation efforts?

Not officially but I always try and help a stranded animal, bird, or indeed insect if I see one. A couple of weeks ago I helped protect a hedgehog from traffic when I was out for a walk with my son. I actually really enjoyed standing in the road directing the cars and the drivers all slowed down and smiled when they realised what was going on. šŸ˜€

Ā What is your top bucket list to with animals?

I would love to get a photo of a Barn owl in the wild. We have them over here but I’ve only ever see or heard them when I haven’t had my camera handy.
