Half way through the year and conservation successes continue to occur! June passed by and saw governments and businesses continue to commit to reducing their plastic outputs, marine and terrestrial habitat protected, a phenomenal breeding season for a threatened bird species and much more!

Our last gardening post was a month and half ago, when we were just starting work on our newly acquired garden space, and it's been a very exciting time. Although we haven't done a huge amount more in terms of developing the garden, we have had lots more visitors, and it's been fascinating to watch our plants grow and flower. The weather has also not been the best for gardening, and so we have sat watching the birds from our back room with the rain pouring down for much of May and the start of June. This post is more of an update then, and with the huge citizen science project Gardenwatch currently underway and June being the Wildlife Trusts 30 Days Wild Challenge, there have been a lot of reasons for us be out in the garden!
