Hannah is an activist, naturalist and author who has dedicated years to campaigning for improvements to Britain’s bird population. She appeared alongside Jeremy Clarkson at Diddly Squat Farm to help record and identify the farm’s bird species through auditory and visual means, impressing both Clarkson and audiences with her remarkable ability to identify bird calls more quickly than technology.
In a recent post, she revealed she was battling kidney stones which caused her severe pain and necessitated a hospital visit: “Sometimes life throws you quite bad days. My day started at 3am in A and E, p****** blood which wasn’t ideal but I was hell bent on driving all the way up to Scotland to catch the very last boat of the season to see the single biggest colony of Gannets in the world.
“I was prepared to sleep in my car and breeze through the pain of kidney stones. The best thing about the day ended up being the feckless clouds. Unfortunately this video explains what happened.
Anyone else had that kind of day?” Upon arrival, she discovered the ferry had been cancelled: “Oh dear I’ve just driven 250 miles out of 350 miles only to get an email when I came here for a service break to say that the boat’s been cancelled. While driving in agony with kidney stones to see gannets I don’t get the gannet part.
I’ve now got the prospect of driving 250 miles home when I didn’t have to leave in the first place. Fun times. And I’ve still got kidney stones no gannets.” Supporters rallied around the 40-year-old, with one commenting: “There will be another day.
Don’t worry. Got mates nearby who can look after you :)” Another wrote: “Oh no, so sorry to hear that. I think the boat has been cancelled a few times recently.
Hope you are better soon and that you get the chance to see them next year.” Liz remarked: “Big hug beautiful Hannah. Your energy, enthusiasm and determination will get you through this day. Gannets are wishing you well and waiting to meet you another day xx” Susua commented: “Oh, really sorry, Hannah.
