There are several breeding pairs of skylarks still holding on at Warren Farm (@warrenfarmnr.bsky.social) in the west London suburbs. Long may they continue.

When life’s buffeting you around but you still manage to keep focussed on the things that matter to you🙃🐭Amazing head stabilisation of our #WarrenFarmNR Kestrel, her tail fans to keep her steady🪶On the UK Amber List of conservation concern, her home here is an LNR in waiting💚

Beautiful songful Linnets can always be seen nesting around our #WarrenFarmNR rewilded Brownfield area🐦‍⬛🪺Their population has sadly plummeted causing them to join our Skylarks on the UK Red-List as a species of high conservation concern😔LNR status will safeguard many lives that thrive here💚 #bird

🪺‘KEEP TO THE PATHS’ SKYLARK NOTICES ARE UP! #WarrenFarmNR 🪺Ealing’s only Skylark population build their nests on the ground here & people / dogs straying off the main outside paths into the meadow seriously risk harming our Red-Listed bird’s eggs & chicks🐣 ❌🐕🚶🏽‍♂️Thank you for helping keep them safe💚

Land like this gets described by those not in the know as ‘wasted space’, ‘it’s just grass’, ‘messy’🌿To botanists, wildlife experts & nature lovers who see life its ‘home to rare plant species’, ‘vital acid grassland habitat’, ‘Field Vole site supporting Owls’🦉WarrenFarmNR 💚

Not so much of a winter 10 to be seen on @WarrenFarmNR for #wildflowerhour but I was pleased to find this hawthorn in flower again this year. It did the same at Christmas last year.
