Nature & growth can thrive together — but only with the right choices
The new Planning & Infrastructure Bill could bridge the gap, or it could deepen the divide

A few white feathers are fairly irresistible, a few scattered near the mud tray can help to get all the birds in the colony interested if they seem to be reluctant to find the mud.
Interested in finding out more about how you can help / like a talk for your local group ? Get in touch 🙂
Can you create a mud pie for house martins? It’s been pretty dry spring, making it difficult for birds building nests
Plastic plant trays can be useful for keeping the mud wet for longer, good on hard surfaces, they can even be used successfully on flat roofs if safe/ practical to do so. 1/2
HMSS in the #EADT at the weekend! Please send #SBG your house Martin records this year for our countywide census , more info soon- www.suffolkbirdgroup.org/

Loved seeing lots of cow wheat in the path edges at Watersmeet, Exmoor.

I love finding opposite leaved golden saxifrage as it always grows in such beautiful places - I saw a pair of pied flycatchers prospecting close by 😁

Moon sparkles on the sea tonight! A marine fireworks display, as Manxies soar in and shoot down their burrows to avoid being spotted by the Great Black-backed Gulls patrolling the plateau.

A SOSSwift Community Set has gone to Westfield Primary School in Haverhill, Suffolk. Their pupils will decorate and number the 6 nest boxes before installation and calls will be played May-July. It will take time but a colony will develop @suffolkwildlife.bsky.social @suffolkbirdgroup.bsky.social
