We are extremely sad to report that due to arson the bird hide at Lion Creek in Canewdon has been destroyed. This also includes the barn owl box attached to the hide, the board walk and areas of saltmarsh and scrub Essex Wildlife Trust

Brilliant! Well done Mick and your amazing team at Essex Wildlife Trust Warley Place. A very well deserved award. So much is achieved by all our reserve volunteers, without whom much of our wildlife management would not be possible. Andrew Impey EWT Emily Buttress @EssexWT_Bailey

If you have been watching the Little owl cam, you will have seen we now have 3 owlets! We are surprised as egg one was laid 5 days before the other 2, although incubation did not start until they were all laid. Here, Denise removes the shell & all 3 are revealed! @DenisStr

In #nomowmay why Chelmsford City Council are you mowing all the verges in Danbury this morning. Bees, ants, spiders & butterflies I saw yesterday are all gone this morning. Please explain why you mow the grass just as wildflowers are at their best for wildlife Essex Climate Commission Plantlife

This is staggering. Make a pledge like Deborah Meaden 🇺🇦 did, not to buy any new clothes for a year.

Today at Great Holland Pits Essex Wildlife Trust.
