Trust wildlife
Following on from my previous blog, I had intended to recall some of my early Otter encounters and experiences but, the “lockdown” has given me time to pause and reflect on what wildlife is closer…
Species Identification
Why not give some species ID in your local area a go? Species ID is a great way to get involved in taking action for nature, it's amazing what you can find when you really start looking!
