A beautiful day for Pond Condition Assessment training at northessexfarmcluster with Darren Tansley 💙 at Essex Wildlife Trust and Lucy from FWAG East. Some wise words then out on the farm.
Happy #WorldMigratoryBirdDay ! Turtle Doves are returning to their breeding habitats in south-east and eastern England. Our work with farmers and other land managers provides these birds with feeding and nesting habitats for when they return after their incredible journeys.
Tomorrow is #WorldMigratoryBirdDay and this year it's celebrating the connection between birds and insects. Turtle Doves don't eat insects, but they do rely on insects to pollinate the flowers whose seeds they eat. Read more here: rspb.org.uk/whats-happenin…
To celebrate #NationalHedgerowWeek our friends at FWAG East have put this excellent video together that looks at the various management options for farms that help #FarmWildlife

Turtle Dove coming by about every 4 days, must be getting food elsewhere, I noticed his crop looked pretty full.
