Biodiversity Gardens and Ecology Parks

Biodiveristy Gardens Project at the 2012 Bioblitz

An interesting day with a meeting this morning with key stakeholders regarding the development of an ecology centre in Hackbridge for Beddington Farmlands and an evening with the Biodiversity Gardens Project to celebrate the achievements of this (unfortunately) closing project.

So a bit of positive stuff going on (seems very tough going at the moment in many ways?) .

I missed a day somewhere as we were away for 19 days :-) (Dodgy internet connections)

Last day was spent at Shai Hills in the morning and then back home. Almost trod on a viper. 

A great trip. Thanks to Jaffa (Chris Townend from Wise Birding) and Robert. http://www.wisebirding.co.uk/

I made it 410 species seen and/or heard.
