3 animals going extinct from the UK 

The fact that approximately only 10% of woodlands are left in UK could explain a lot

Need to restore the greenbelt from Cornwall to Northern Scotland.

Capercaillie populations are dropping because of poor breeding success due to human disturbance, lack of bilberries and an increasingly wetter spring. Turtle doves are declining because, as a migratory species, they are intensely hunted during their travels. Spain, France and Portugal used to kill millions every year. Added to that is the intense agricultural practices in their feeding grounds plus reduction of the native plant seeds they eat due to invasive species. Adders are declining through habitat disturbance, urbanisation and an increase in badgers and foxes. Badgers will eat adders and foxes eat adders prey. As the big predators that eat badgers and foxes are extinct in the UK ( bears, lynx, wolves), there may have to be some serious decisions made to reduce populations to a stable level.

Feral cats, buzzards, red kites, foxes, badgers and house builders are some of the reasons for so many birds becoming extinct.

It would be a shame to lose any of these animals. Especially as I haven’t seen either one of them in my lifetime and I’m 42 🙁

I live in Scotland specifically the highlands and I saw that grouse a few days ago and thought I’d made a prehistoric discovery

The Common Adder is also known as the European viper! Bit confusing just call it an adder if you are speaking English.

Wish seagulls were on the list

Theres a lot of birds heading for extinction, that includes Blackirds, Starlings, Thrushes etc.

The beginning couple of seconds had me thinking you'd mention those Scottish tabby cats! I can imagine British RU-vidrs in the 2030's fighting each other to film the last remaining adders of the UK!

It’s like increasing the human population ruins everything

The Adder is rife between Cromer and Sheringham. I am on holiday in the Runtons (between the two) and in the fields and hills I have seen 6 sunbathing today, 3 yesterday and 5 the day before that! all different areas, so was not the same snakes. Just a very healthy population!

Yes, very sad news and it'll only get worse due to the housing being allowed to build on greenbelt (including woodland) as apparently SOCIAL housing is needed. Naturally zero social housing is built, just expensive homes with names like; "Woodland Walk" and "Meadow Close" in none ironic ways. Hedgehogs are endangered too.

I have a Turtle Dove in a tree in my garden (Scotland). He's been calling for about 5 years now. Sadly no females around. He will be the last in the area. We get quite a few vipers every year but nowhere near previous decades.

So basically wild cats just killing everything

I saw an adder once a couple of years ago on the Welsh coast. It was only brief but they really are stunning animals, I’d hate to see them go.

Why are these comments absolutely horrendous? Must have reached the wrong audience

In Cornwall old tin mines are like adder hotspots it might be something to do with how the sandy soil that’s been left as waste heats up in the sun or the ridiculous amount of holes and crevices

I have a lot of Adders near me in Lightwater Country Park in Surrey, It's about a 15min walk from my house! No idea they were in danger, saw one just a few months ago on a dirt trail. Tons of stories of them surprising people during early morning and night around these parts.

Being that there's no snakes in Ireland, I had no idea there were any snakes in Britain, never mind venomous ones. Now I gotta learn more about this.

A few more animals include the common quail, stone curlew, and wood warbler- all of these species have become extremely rare though the population for the first and third have stabilised and seen small increases.

Nah mate we've got them all around Matlock, Darley Dale, Clay Cross and Rowsley. Derbyshire 😊

Next time I’m out on the coast I’m gonna keep an eye out for turtle doves

You missed the hedgehog

Uk and animal extinction go hand in hand

Actually Scottish wildcats are being reintroduced

Man the uk was and still is to a lesser extent one of the most naturally beautiful countries in the world we had such a wide array of habitats and animals its sad

Turtle doves going extinct, they were given too freely as gifts over Christmas.

Have magpies got anything to do with the dove?

We should build cities off the ground and let the animals live on the ground and we live in the upper section on inserts like worms

Ive seen capercaillie south of scotland and still regularly see turtle doves havent ever seen a snake though, seen some weird little lizards

Loads of turtle doves in edinburgh

Snitching out the birds hidden spots. within a week none left

European viper what about the puff adder that is also venomous. I apologise if they are names foe the same snake

He forgot to mention indigenous people.

I see turtle doves all over the shop and I live in Birmingham and loads of parrots

Number 1 has had 2 chances and messed both of them up. Get rid

You forgot to mention native humans... Almost extinct in the UK

The hedgehog is also going extinct because they are being decimated by badgers but the so called experts won't admit it as it makes badgers look bad

I seem to be lost. Im looking for the taj mahal

I head Canklow Rotherham woods and hill side was heaving with Adders

Theres a turtle dove nesting in my garden

Ive seen them b4 in the uk feel quite lucky

Worry not, there are over 500 replacements landing on our shores every day!

I mean, that’s what happens when you log your entire island while turning he other bits into open air pit mines left to wash into tributaries 😅

People try and defend the Adder as this majestic peaceful serpent. Every encounter I've had with Adders has begun with one lunging at me, their vicious.

Nice menu

Loool the adder is a poisonous snake from England

Less animal less carbon dioxide, less carbon dioxide less global warming means extinction = win

You forgot indigenous Britons.

Bollocks grouse is protected and multiple like sheep 😅😅

I've got two window vipers 😂

the pigeon looks absolutely gorgeous 😭💜

We have too many turtle doves in Australia that came from the UK. Please return to sender. Sounds like you need them more than we do.

No1 can be imported from Russia 😳 I watched documentary about them 2 days ago ..

The largest mouse on the planet! 😮

What are the reasons for their extinction?

I got dovea in my garden

Ther are are a pear of them in Sutton Park. Birmingham

We have adders in east lancashire

An explanation would be helpful

Why do you open this short with a picture of a cat? It’s very misleading to suggest that they are responsible and it’s pretty obvious that’s what you’re doing

Come to Australia and find a tonne of them turtle dove

Is he going on about the adder try looking around oxforshire there everywhere

migrants are eating them. also eating our swans and deer

I have doves in my garden

Stop hurting them keep your Cats indoors

Another list. No context. Short videos are inappropriate for this.

Why though?

Bro needs to learn what extinct means.

REASON animal in first 5 seconds

Wish karens were on the list 😂

Need to stop protecting birds of prey like peregrines and hawks ,wiping out all our song

Don’t forget the Tory MPs!

Deforestation is the main cause, it can easily be fixed with rewilding programs. All of which have proven to be successful, nature wants to be wild and us helping instead of hindering provides countless benefits to all aspects of society.

You forgot Conservatives.

skill issues

Noooooooo number 1 should be the xl bully

The fourth one will be the white man

I thought the only venomous snake in the UK is the Adder.

extinct?

Yep leave to the Europeans back to their old habits....😢😢😢

You may as well add "ethnic Britons" to this list...

The capercaillie is going extinct because of the rise of eagles and no hunt mink and foxes anymore

Aye'm thinking you need to change the way you do your voice over.To me you're sounding far to cheerie in your voice about this outcome 🤔😢

Tory Nasty Party MP?

Wow, I didn't know that the migrants coming here were affecting our wildlife to 😂 no jokes didn't no we had them snakes here though.

Is that true about adders? Loads on the Cumbrian coast. Gotta watch where your walking on a sunny day. Look like piles of dog turds dotted all over the show

Faithful women 😂

The

Animal number 4… Conservatives

Disgraceful,

White people

Cats responsible ?

After Brexit even animals left UK 😂

That’s fantastic news the adder could soon disappear the sooner the better

Native British humans

Get the shakes gone
