Welcome to this site
Hello, my name is Alex Furnell (nominated for Nobel hall of fame for my wildlife knowledge, with a certificate) and welcome to my wildlife website, we are here to tell you and everyone on why is nature so important and how it can be such a wonderful thing. Nature has many mysteries on where they go to breed and how they survive in the harshest places of all.
My picture taking:
Some people have been e-mailing me telling me this:
I like the way your dad has taught you on how to take pictures.
The problem is that dad never taught me how, I am a self taught person. The only help that i got was my parents telling me the things that are critical and are the keys to
taking a good or excellent picture, like timing, filling up the picture, and the movement (showing people about the way it moves).
We have been helping birds that have been attacked by cats for a few months, I have been birdwatching and taking pictures of things that I come across that are interesting, I took a picture of a orange slug that turned back to it's normal colour, I found it under a log.
I am here to tell you and everyone that being a nature lover is nothing to be embarrassed about, people may think it's for weird people but that is a load of rubbish, people that like the wild and are worried are very tough, and can face it, people like that don't deserve that kind of stuff.
I am glad I like natural things like wildlife, to natural disasters, which will ultimately wreak havoc in it's path.
People should be aware that the wild is needed for our resources. If you help your nearest wood then you could increase the population a lot.
I am trying to help out the wild and I can't do this myself, this website doesn't show how good it can be but I do my best to show the world how good it could be.
I have taken a few bad ones and mostly good ones, the reason why these pictures are good is because I have been thinking on which ones will be most interesting.
If you have some interesting facts that you would like to share or know about then contact sueaffie@ntlworld.com, (Sorry but alex.furnell@ntlworld.com is not working!)
People think that the wildlife is for the dumbest people in the world, why do they say that. Anyway, all that I know about this ridiculous behaviour is that the people who are intelligent would try and cherish, preserve or rescue wildlife.
Birds:
Now birds are among one of our most smallest groups of animals but however, that does not mean that they are not important, in fact birds are the main source in the food web that keeps others alive. If every bird in the world suddenly became extinct, Humans, even if we were the only mammals on the planet, we would not survive for 1 year.
Why is this?
Mainly, in a birds diet, there is mostly an insect or more, without birds, insects will soon patrol the planet and will consume every vegetation that lies in their way.
But that raises another question, why are there insects?
This isn't easy to explain, every living thing on the planet started as an insect in the seas, then they came out and emerged onto land, some insects have been here before the dinosaur age and have lived through the destruction from the meteorite, and the ice ages, this means that our evolution has existed before the dinosaur age. So insects show us that we were once them.
Insects are the main pollinators of this world, without them, life could not exist, these creatures may look simple, but their life cycle is one thing that I would be dying to see.
This website is here to show people that we are living on something that we are now destroying, it wasn't so long ago when there was 300,000 blue whales, each one every day swallows something like 4 million krill, but global warming has decreased the Krill population, and will also be placing whales like this to the very edge of extinction. This shows us that the smallest to the largest of all living things has had some kind of effect on their lives from global warming. There is no cure for Global Warming, we can only hope for the best that us and wildlife can survive these climate changes.
The woods near your street, the most helpful thing is to place snails and other kinds of food like slugs and other things that you find in your back garden throughout the woods, even if it was the size of My woods outside my house (6 acre) it will help the wild across the world, birds will come and go, they get eaten by predators, but still it helps the wildlife around us and wherever they migrate (if they do), then the birds will come back with their young.
The population of animals across the world is dying out and needs your help to save it, if you want to help then sign this guest book, or try to prove your good enough to help.
There is some great news, The Bittern (Heron family) Has been sited near Amwell which that is near Ware, one of our most rarest animals that was pushed to the brink of extinction in 1949 with only one breeding pair throughout Britain, they were located in the Norfolk Broads.
If you are wondering, it is really odd that we cannot track down some of the largest animals on earth like were they travel in the ocean and none at all on where they go to breed, this is including the Blue whale. People don't seem to realise how important the wildlife is to us, we may think that it is no longer needed, but it is impossible to survive, where will we get our resources, and what are we going to eat without it.
Today, there are over 6.75 billion people on this planet because of one thing, and that is the wildlife, it is not clear to me, how can that many humans be fed, it is amazing, but one thing is that many things that we eat are helped so they can breed and produce milk and many other things.
Even I have many un-answered questions like:
Why can't we track down the Blue Whale on where they breed and where they travel? The answer probably is the size of the ocean, Most migrations that we cannot track down are in the oceans because it is so big, about more than 70% of the planet is covered by water.
Why are birds thought to be related to dinosaurs? Maybe thats because of their abilities to fly.
Why don't people cherish? Maybe it's the fact that birds and many other animals are colourful and small, so gangs consider them as so called 'pussies' when that is not true.
This question I have answered myself:
How comes we have so many different types of birds? The answer is the shifting of the plates that are moving continents and islands, and what they do to change their evolution.
