Wildlife blog stats 2026 -some surprises

 

Looking at which countries visit my blogs most in the last 7 days so lower than normal due to Christmas and New Year. If it were dependent on UK views and it's "nation of animal lovers" it would make posting pointless. That there are no UK figures for the badger blog says a lot but December did see 368 views and out of those 2 were from the UK.

It is somewhat depressing but reaffirms that interest in wildlife appears confined to "clean" and comfortable TV shows.

Interest in the Fox Study PM report solicited no comments or interest from UK wildlife rescues.  A look at the figures for last year's fox and badger deaths in Bristol solicited no interest from any Bristol wildlife group -or anyone else.

This local and national disinterest reflects the fact that no one (individuals or wildlife rescues) has had the slightest interest in cooperating in even the most basic way.

Considering that I am not a publicised author (I have written books), am not on TV or have a You Tube channel to attract views that is quite a surprising total and I ought to point out that views from certain countries are never included by Blogger.

If the books sold or there were backers the work continue and more progress be made but no one wants to back fox research  or any type of grass roots level research and as for people in the UK helping to fund work I think the statistics showing the level of interest answers that question.
