Happy Summer Solstice! How will you be celebrating the longest day of the year? ☀️

‘Solstice’ comes from the Latin, ‘solstitium’, meaning the stopping or standing still of the sun.

These days have the pinching, dull, bone-cold ache of a gate bolt that won’t go home. A snowdrop chill. But the winter thrushes are making a chattery river high in the bare branches, & their departure won’t be long. I still hate to lose winter, even as I long for spring… #naturewriting

Projects to clean up rivers & protect communities from flooding could be lost if fines from water companies aren't ringfenced for nature💧

The Government should guarantee pollution fines will be paid into the Water Restoration Fund🪙

Wildlife Pond Project - YouTube I have one small pond in the Gwyllt Hollow garden, that was here when I moved in. In 2024, I remodelled it a bit to create more sloping sides as well as plan...

Ever thought of building your own wildlife pond?

The unmistakable barn owl. 🦉

During the winter, these cherished birds spent much of their time hunting to endure the chilly months ahead.

Top spotting tip: dusk is the perfect time to catch a glimpse of them in action.
