Living with Mammals

Wherever we live in the UK, we share the green spaces around our homes and places of work with wild species.  By carefully identifying and counting the mammals that live in and around built up land, we can begin to understand – and encourage – the biodiversity on our doorstep.

Keeping track of wildlife in surveys such as Living with Mammals is essential – not only to improving the lot of our wild neighbours, but to improving our own as well.
Take a look at what you helped us find out in our Living with Mammals update 2015.
All you have to do is spend some time observing a chosen site, such as your garden or allotment or local churchyard or park, noting any mammals you see or the signs they leave behind. Your ‘urban’ site must be within 200 metres of a building. Jot down your sightings for eight or more weeks in the survey period (they needn’t be all together) and tell us what you see.read more

THE CURTAIN comes down on more than 50 years of wrestling events at the Fairfield Halls, Croydon, on Sunday 10 April before the venue closes for a two year £30 million refurbishment. All Star aim to finish on a high note when an afternoon event is set to reflect some of the big moments down the years. The action in the up-close-and-personal atmosphere of the Arnhem Gallery begins at 3pm and several leading campaigners have been invited to name their dream bout for the occasion, among them James Mason, the south London-born heavyweight who has made more appearances than any other wrestler since All Star first hit the Fairfield in the 1980s with all the top stars of the day including ‘Rollerball’ Mark Rocco, Johnny Saint, Dave Finlay and Wayne Bridges on view in the opening presentation. Then, during 2012, the Fairfield’s 50th anniversary was marked by ‘Legends of the Ring’ event watched by another huge crowd. Mason, who first stepped into the Croydon arena as a 15 year-old has said he would like to face someone still active from the ‘World of Sport’ era and All Star have asked fans for nominations with Danny Collins, Mal Sanders and Johnny Kidd among the front-runners. Others ready for a special challenge include Wirral-based fans’ favourite Dean Allmark and the explosive UK Hooligans tag formation consisting of Norfolk-based brothers Roy and Zack Knight, sons of former Ricky Knight whose ‘Superflys’ tag formation with Jimmy Ocean were Croydon regulars for many years and revived their partnership to take on ‘Liverpool Lads’ Robbie Brookside and Frankie Sloane in the 2012 Croydon ‘Legends’ event. Top 21st century action on 10 April will also include Welsh tank Caden Lay, Finnish ‘Nasty Boy’ Vitto Puro and Hakeem Wakur, the fast moving man they call the ‘Arabian Sandstorm,’ showing their paces There will also be a welcome return for one of Britain’s very best heavyweight campaigners, Kent-based former TNA X-Division title holder Doug Williams who faces masked Mexican Lucha Libre star Black Tiger who has been very impressive since making a UK debut during February. Ringside seats in the first two rows can be reserved in advance and are are on sale at the Fairfield Halls box office, telephone 0208-688-9291. A special £45 family offer covering two adults and two children under 16 is available and further event information will appear on Facebook at: All Star Wrestling U.K.see link

Gonzo

It's one of the most memorable opening scenes in a movie.

As the banjo chords of "Rainbow Connection" are heard, the camera pans over a swamp and slowly zooms in to show Kermit the Frog strumming and singing, as he sits alone on a log.

Now fans can join in during that iconic moment, when "Sing Along with 'The Muppet Movie'" comes to Easton's State Theatre on Sunday.

The interactive experience takes its cues from the called-out responses and the use of props popularized by "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" but with a much more family-friendly vibe. Kids even get a goody bag filled with playful props like bubbles and glow necklaces.

Host Davey Rocker plays his guitar and leads the audience, as the words to favorite songs such as "Rainbow Connection" and "Movin' Right Along" scroll across the bottom of the screen.

Kids use magic paintbrushes (wands with streamers) to "paint" Fozzie Bear's old 1951 Studebaker and try to shoot out Gonzo's helium balloons with their ice-cream shooters, while everyone joins in flapping their ears and saying Fozzie's catchphrase "Wocka Wocka Wocka" every time a bad joke is cracked.

"This is where it all started," says Rocker of the 1979 Jim Henson film that was nominated for two Academy Awards. "I think the adults have as much fun as the kids. Many of the adults can recite all the lines."

The sing along is presented by Ibex Puppetry, a Florida company founded in 2000 by Henson's daughter, Heather Henson, who also is a puppet artist and sits on the board of directors for The Jim Henson Legacy.

"Sing alongs allow me to connect with the work of my father," Heather Henson says. "I can work with my dad's material. I can put a new spin on it but it's still his stuff, intact."

Rocker, a Florida children's musician who did a musical puppet show, met Heather Henson three years ago and she asked him to co-host the sing along. Originally Heather Henson co-hosted, but now Rocker is joined by dancer and actress Sunny Raskin.

He says the original "Muppet Movie" is being introduced to a new generation of fans who have seen the new films: 2011's "The Muppets" and 2014's "Muppets Most Wanted."

"The Muppet Movie" was listed in the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress for being "culturally, historically or aesthetically significant" in 2009. The film was notable for its groundbreaking images of full body puppets, including Kermit riding a bicycle and Kermit and Fozzie Bear dancing. The closing reprise of "Rainbow Connection" featured a crowd of more than 250 Muppet characters — virtually every Muppet that had been created up at that time.

"It really is one of those family shows that has a wide audience," Rocker says. "It's a pretty magical movie. The Muppets bridge generations."

For the film, he and Raskin sit in chairs on a small set at the lower right side of the movie screen and help guide the audience through the interactive elements. You can arrive early for a pre-show performance with music and comedy.

During the film, Rocker holds up cards that say "Yay" and "Boo," the hosts shadow act out a couple scenes and remind fans to pull their "stretchy frogs" every time Doc Hopper, an evil frogs legs entrepreneur, appears on screen.

The film holds up well after more than three decades, he says.

"It's a classic story and it's almost autobiographical of Jim Henson's life," Rocker says. "Kermit decides to leave the swamp and go to Hollywood to follow his dreams and picks up all these characters on the way to make millions of people happy.

"Jim Henson came from the small town of Leland, Miss. and picked up great puppeteers and character actors on the way to make millions of people happy."

Highlights of the film include the songs by Paul Williams and Kenneth Ascher, who won a Grammy Award for the album of the musical score. Other songs are "Never Before, Never Again" and "I Hope That Somethin' Better Comes Along."

Also popular, Rocker says, is audience shout-outs to all the famous people who appear in the film including Bob Hope, Richard Pryor, Steve Martin, Mel Brooks, Dom DeLuise, Cloris Leachman and Sesame Street's Big Bird.

Kids also can join in a conga line, be showered in confetti and watch kites being flown inside the theater.

There also are surprise appearance by Muppets Gonzo and Animal at appropriate moments in the movie.

"Adults really love it for the old-school nostalgia," Rocker says. "I hadn't seen it in years and when I did it was so refreshing. It's really a beautiful piece of work."
