PET SOUNDS Cats: As far as audible communication goes, cats don’t have too much to work with. That’s why, beyond a casual meow or purr, they need to find other ways to express themselves.

Take hissing, for instance, Whilst looking outwardly aggressive, it’s actually a fear reflex, designed to ward off an enemy rather than engage in combat. This leads to the point that a cat’s greater communicative strength is in its physical actions, such as rubbing against legs, wrapping around of its tail and even head-butting!

As far as those audible clues go, a meow is generally a cat to human interaction, as they rarely make this noise to each other, and is usually a note that they are in need of something. As for purring, this isn’t just done just to denote satisfaction, as the same sound is used for pain or anxiety.

How our furry pets communicate with us and what it is they’re saying.

Dogs: With our canines, different barks do have different meanings. They can reflect delight, surprise, threat, panic and more, with the pitch, number of barks and space between offering big clues as to the dog’s state of mind. Consider the delight of a high-pitched bark compared to the seriousness of a low-pitched one which bottoms out into a sinister growl, and you can see how expressive this form of communication can be.

So while dogs are not conveying direct, there is a huge complexity in the sound that can express so much; and of course, as we know, a dog’s greater communicative strength, particularly where others are concerned, comes in the leaving of and picking up of scent.

Hampshire Fare:

30 Years

Championing Local How do you celebrate a significant anniversary when it’s difficult to plan a big party? The answer for Hampshire Fare, the county’s food and drink group, was to commission a special bespoke Crest featuring local produce.

Hampshire Fare was established 30 years ago in 1991 by a group of farmers to promote the area’s abundance of local produce. Initially supported by Hampshire County Council, Hampshire Fare has developed into a selffunding, not-for-profit Community Interest Company representing nearly 400 members, including local producers and independent hospitality businesses and retailers.

WE CHOSE TO MARK THIS ANNIVERSARY

BY COMMISSIONING THIS SPECIAL CREST, FEATURING MEMBERS’ PRODUCE AND DEPICTING THE AMAZING DIVERSITY AND VIBRANCY OF PRODUCE. Tracy Nash, Commercial Manager, Hampshire Fare, comments: “We are very proud that Hampshire Fare has been promoting and supporting local produce for 30 years.

We chose to mark this anniversary by commissioning this special Crest, featuring members’ produce and depicting the amazing diversity and vibrancy of produce grown and made across this region. Working with artist Thomas Moore of Lást Maps, we have created something really special with a Crest comprising a central design of a still and buffalo adorned with bees, chickens, hops,

lavender, rapeseed, strawberries, tomatoes, trout and vines.”

This Crest was launched on the cover of Hampshire Fare’s annual local produce guide, ‘Discover Local Produce with Hampshire Fare’. This year’s edition also celebrates Hampshire Fare’s 30th anniversary, including articles reflecting how radically Hampshire’s food and drinks culture has changed over the past three decades with the introduction of new local hero products, among them artisan gins, buffalo mozzarella and sparkling wines.

Tracy Nash adds: “We are excited to be celebrating our 30th anniversary with this Crest and our new Guide, which helps people discover and enjoy the finest local produce.

Our Guide has long been considered an essential resource for those in the industry; however, it is also appreciated by consumers who are showing ever more interest in provenance and supporting local.”

Look out for Hampshire Fare window stickers bearing the Crest and slogan ‘Proud to be a Member of Hampshire Fare’. In addition, pick up a free copy of ‘Discover Local Produce with Hampshire Fare’, available from many Hampshire Fare members across the region. Alternatively, a digital version is available to view and download from Hampshire Fare’s website: www.hampshirefare.co.uk.

Just Joshing?

WBA, IBF, WBO and IBO heavyweight boxing champ Anthony Joshua is charismatic, polite, funny and unquestionably intelligent.

So how does such a nice guy go around making a living by punching people in the face?

“As a kid I grew up wanting to be powerful and successful, but I guess that could have played itself out in many different ways.

“However this is where I am and this is what I do, and I wouldn’t change it for anything. I’ve got a

lot left in me and I’m excited for the future - they say when your time is up it’s not necessarily the power and the physical ability that goes first, it’s your bottle.

“Boxers will go through these episodes and it just so happened it was my turn back when I fought Andy Ruiz.

At the time it was the worst thing that had ever happened to me in the ring, but now I look back on it as a blessing.

I have proved to myself that I have the mental and physical resilience to power back from adversity

when people all around you are questioning if you’ve still got it. You never know in the late rounds of a fight when that learned lesson could help me through to victory.

MAKE THIS A

nature reserve summer

This summer is the perfect time to explore a nature reserve near you.

Hampshire & Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust has over 50 nature reserves in our two counties which cover a wide variety of habitats, home to some amazing wildlife.

Whether it’s a blooming wildflower meadow or a woodland in leaf, many of the habitats on our nature reserves are looking their best over the summer months. We cover some of our favourite places to explore and the wildlife to look out for as you do.

COLOURFUL MEADOWS

Britain has lost an astonishing 97% of its wildflower meadows since the 1930s, but luckily there are still fine examples of this wildlife-rich habitat to visit in our two counties. Meadows are at their most colourful in summer, with wildflowers stimulating the senses with a tapestry of colour and scents.

Delicate lilac harebells, aromatic wild thyme and the yellow froth of lady’s bedstraw are just some of the plants to look for. Insects provide the sound track, pollinators buzzing between the flowers as they feed.

COASTAL ADVENTURES

WILD WOODLANDS

The long days of summer make for unique wildlife encounters. Foxes and badgers venture out in daylight hours - you might see them in the dappled shade of the trees on a forest path. Butterflies basking with their wings open, warming up ready for the day can be seen, and striking day-flying moths like the jersey tiger are also on the wing.

On a cool evening, you might get a waft of sweet honeysuckle, a real treat for the nose.

Woodlands are a perfect place to brush up on birdsong, as resident species are joined by summer migrants coming to breed.

The Solent coastline is bursting with wildlife in summer. Beneath the waves, seagrass meadows provide a nursery for marine species like bass and seahorses, and a little further inland, the shingle habitats are nesting places for gulls and terns. Listening to the waves crash as noisy seabirds circle overhead as the salt spray hits your face is a wildlife experience not to be missed.

Redshank and lapwing raise their fluffy chicks at Farlington Marshes Nature Reserve or hunt for crabs in the shallows at Milton Locks, just minutes away from busy Portsmouth.

Find out all about the Trust’s nature reserves and how you can help us look after these extraordinary places for wildlife by visiting www.hiwwt.org.uk/nature-reserves.

Super Seedy Granola Bars Introduction Fuel their back-to-school adventure with these one-bowl, easy bake bars that are ideal for lunchboxes and full of natural goodness.

Ingredients (makes 12 bars) 200g old fashioned rolled oats 100g butter 70g light brown sugar 100g dried fruit (raisins, chopped dates, cranberries etc.)

100g sunflower seeds

Method

Tip

Feel free to riff… use whatever seeds or dried fruit you have at hand – you could even include chocolate chips!

Step one Heat oven to 160C/fan 140C/gas 3. Grease and line the base of a 18x25cm tin.

Combine butter, honey/syrup and brown sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat.

Cook, stirring occasionally until the butter melts and the sugar completely dissolves.

the granola mix into the pan, packing it down firmly with the back of a spoon.

Step two Pour the butter and sugar mixture into a large bowl with the oats, seeds and cinnamon (if adding chocolate chips wait five minutes for mixture to cool before adding). Once thoroughly combined, pour

Step three Bake the bars for 30 minutes or until golden in colour. Wait for the pan to cool entirely before cutting into 12 even bars.

Granola bars can be stored for up to a week in an airtight container.

2tbsp flax seeds 2tbsp chia seeds 3tbsp honey or maple syrup 1tsp dried cinnamon

Top Tips • Ensure your finished granola bars don’t crumble by packing down the mixture well in the pan before baking and leaving to chill in the fridge for an hour after.

• Add an extra depth of flavour to your bars by toasting your oats and seeds first. Simply place them in your clean, dry baking pan and place in the oven for 5-10 minutes watching carefully in case they burn.
