New calendar is top of the plops for Christmas

A WILDLIFE group hopes to scoop the prize for the most wanted Christmas present this year after producing a calendar featuring the poop of 12 favourite countryside animals.

The publication, named the Crap Calendar, attempts to lift the lid on the whereabouts and habitat of some of our most loved animals, helping nature lovers identify species by their faeces.

Organisers hope the calendar will blow away the competition to corner the ever bulging market of fun Christmas presents and provide the ultimate solution for people stuck for gift ideas.

The calendar features the droppings of different animals each month, ranging from the fox and hedgehog to the Pipistrelle bat and the Fallow Deer, alongside more attractive pictures of the animals themselves. Each month features locations around Staffordshire where the animals can be found.

See after the break for some mucky pictures!

New Compton Hospice website goes live

PEOPLE buying goods on-line from high street stores can help raise cash for Compton Hospice by doing it through the charity’s brand-new website

It's brilliant to see all the hard work on the site pay off with a new look that's easy to navigate and makes donating online so much easier too.

The site, which went live this week, makes it easier for people to donate both directly and indirectly, which it is hoped will increase the amount of donations which are essential to keeping the hospice running.
