Garden’s play a vital role for nature.

If we all do our part whether it’s a balcony, allotment or garden space of any size, we can all help our wildlife.

Build it and they will come…

First frog in the (fairly) new pond created in Nov 24. Also breeding red damselfly & broad-bodied chasers.

Nature is wonderful.

Clearing scallops around the ponds on Hampton reserve. It’s been a busy and tiring period of work that will continue well into February.

What a stunner. Memorable morning in September 2023 with @wildjustice.bsky.social and Birds of Poole Harbour.

White tailed eagle, incredible birds and a privilege to see.

More pond work, reducing vegetation and excess leaves from this wildlife pond. Minimal disturbance and leave piles close by to allow invertebrates to crawl back into the water. #wildlifepond #pond #gardeningforwildlife

Another new pond created, this time with my colleagues at Froglife.
