❗ Don't delay! Place shallow dishes of fresh, clean water around your garden - they can be a lifeline to thirsty creatures like #hedgehogs, birds & bees!
🦔 🐦 🐝 🦋 💧
Add a few pebbles so insects can perch & safely drink too!

This curious juvenile starling was following me around the wood the other day. Every time I looked up it was on a nearby tree, fence or the overhead wires watching what I was up to.
As #LifwynnWood is a young woodland it's really exciting to see more fledglings using the space each year. 🌳

We had a great time yesterday on the Botany Walk run by our friend Daniel. I think we all learnt lots and had a lovely time at the wood.

Bluebells and wild garlic in bloom along the riverbanks and woodlands. It all looks and smells amazing!
