A walk through @nationaltrust.org.uk Bodnant Garden, surrounded by wild garlic. #garden #northwales #wales

We did not actually see, but heard some, bats with @friendscoccp.bsky.social this evening. It was fun anyway. Thank you @recordlrc.bsky.social

It isn't unusual for species to make use of human additions to their habitats. Small animals often make unexpected (but welcome) use of equipment designed to support nature regeneration. What a wonderful illustration of how a boost to plant biodiversity can benefit animals! 🌳 2/2 🐁

We hope to see lots of you tomorrow at this very relevant talk at the Friendly Bench. Please share.
