Don’t rush out & mow you lawn… instead enjoy your beautiful long grass filled with wildflowers … and wildlife will thank you for leaving an important habitat undisturbed!

Whooper Swans and Bewick's Swans at WWT Slimbridge yesterday. The first time I've ever seen both species in a day which was exciting. #UKWildlife #Birds

Meanwhile back in the log shed, the male Wren continues with building the outer base layer of the nest. Yesterday was exceptionally stormy here, so the bird stopped building. The bright morning sunshine of today, sees him bringing in material every 90 seconds of so. #wrens #ukwildlife #birds 🌿
