Currently reading, Singing Like Larks by Andrew Millham

Fir Tree Wood is under threat of being sold and divided into plots ☹️ Can you help Essex Wildlife Trust reach their next milestone? 💚👉 essexwt.org.uk/get-involved/a…

Spent an absolutely wonderful day with Andrew Millham by the Thames Estuary. It’s a remarkable landscape, rich in history, culture and biodiversity, and Andrew has an extensive knowledge of it. At Two Tree Island we heard a Nightingale - I’m happy to be corrected if it isn’t!

🎵 Join us next Tuesday to hear about the composer Ralph Vaughan Williams and the folk songs he collected in Essex. 'Bushes and Briars' was the first folk song Vaughan Williams collected in the county. This performance was recorded in 1988 at Blackmore Folk Club (SA 30/6/10/1).

As part of the @EssexBookFest I am speaking to Andrew Millham about his book Singing like Larks. This is at Hylands House on Sun 16 June at 1.30. See then!

Great day at Hylands Estate Chelmsford City Council @EssexBookFest incl Andrew Millham's 'Singing with Larks' and he did! And Joanna Glen - Maybe, Perhaps, Possibly - with puffins and moorhens and a whole lot more! 👏👏👏

In his wonderful book Singing like Larks Andrew Millham has a chapter Be More Owl. On a break in N Norfolk we were delighted to watch Barn Owls flying over Thornham Marsh. A real treat, just like Andrew's book.

The first-ever camp for young nature writers at Cameron's Cottage was a huge success! When I first had the idea, I didn't imagine how brilliant it would turn out to be! We created a unique opportunity for young writers to learn from experts in the field... (thread) ⬇️

On Friday, we welcomed Roger for his talk on nature writing and his experiences in the field. It was interesting to hear Roger’s unique perspective, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed his talk. This was an excellent opening to the weekend – thank you Roger! Roger Morgan-Grenville

Last but not least, thank you to my co host Andrew Andrew Millham and the Cameron Bespolka Trust , for making this weekend happen. I am proud to have worked alongside such incredible people to create such a special opportunity in Cameron's memory. See you next year 😉
