Chris Packham cleans up “anti-social” piles of dog poo when he’s out and about.
The TV presenter, 61, is on a mission to keep the nation’s pavements tidy, saying: “Occasionally, if I’m out and I see piles of other people’s dogs’ poo, I’ll pick that up.
The star of the BBC’s Springwatch added: “Why not? It’s just so anti-social… you can’t have poo all over the pavement.”

“You had to go home because you were covered in dog poo.”

The nature-loving star has pooches of his own and loves spending time with them.
He said: “The sheer joy of being out in nature is enhanced by the relationship I have with my dogs.
“They make me happy. They add a completely different dimension from being out on my own,” he told Radio Times.
Chris has made a new show about dogs for the BBC, and hopes Dogs in the Wild: Meet the Family will encourage Brits to love their wild relatives.
