Back from a special visit to Assisi to mark publication of the Italian edition of HM’s ‘Harmony’. No better place as celebrations to mark 800 years since the life of St Francis take place. Placing Nature at the heart of things is not a new idea & ‘Harmony’ charts how we got to where we are now.

Well done @camcitco.bsky.social. Habitat improvement at Logan’s Meadow nature reserve really bringing good results. Found a couple of Water Rails in there today. Amazing for a small urban reserve. Just goes to show what’s possible with a bit of thought. Otter in there as well. Great work (sound on).
