Dear Readers, the Bank of EWngland is planning to feature British wildlife on its next banknotes (hopefully this won’t cause the furore that was caused by suggesting that one of the notes should feature a woman last time this happened). I think this is a great idea, personally, even if it might mean replacing Winston Churchill with a fox or a hedgehog. The list of categories is below, and you can pick up to two creatures from each section.
Get a move on though, as you need to have voted by 3rd July. The link for voting is here.
I chose:
Hedgehog and Fox
Eurasian curlew and Atlantic Puffin
Basking Shark and Buff-tailed Bumblebee
My thinking was that all these animals are threatened except for the fox, but I just love foxes so I couldn’t leave them out :-). Who would you choose?
