We're exploring vans to buy in Australia, particularly the classic Bedford that was originally manufactured by Holden here.

It's part of a bigger project to explore places that people can go to try living sustainably closer to Nature - and develop something unique, but also to experiment with going further in getting there without costing an arm and a leg.

We are also looking at innovation to take us further, in an almost "Picard" way, you might say. Sir Patrick Stewart inspired this from something we saw him do in a Star Trek episode. May he R.I.P!!

It was good to see Congarinni Vale at today, and sample some of the products they have made using local Australian bush food on their 27 acre farm.

It would be good to find ways for people to experience places like that through a farm stay, or perhaps through woofing or simply a farm sit. This is the kind of thing that The Eco-Enabler Alliance (TEA) is keen to help enable through its travel club initiative, which we are in the process of putting the platform in place as well as seeking help from the likes of Congarinni Vale to provide practical working examples as well as help build the community.

Dr. Luby Simson is going further than that for enabling Sustainability though, because she is leading thoughts and action on it through her work with - and is representative of the people we would like to bring over to the UK to find synergy and points of exchange with councils here. We are looking forward to talking more with Luby and seeing what we can do together.

thank you for everything you have done to date to encourage sustainability and provide working examples of it. We look forward to talking more in coming weeks, and seeing what we can do between UK and Australia to get more happening.

True

Every spring, millions of baby birds are “rescued” by people.

Most of them don’t need rescuing.

Fledglings vs. Nestlings — know the difference

1️⃣ FLEDGLING (LEAVE IT ALONE)

- Has feathers (even if fluffy or messy)
- Can hop, walk, or flutter
- Eyes are open
- Short or stubby tail
- Parents are nearby, feeding it frequently (often every 15–30 minutes)

👉 This is normal.
Fledglings leave the nest before they can fly well and spend several days on the ground learning.

2️⃣ NESTLING (NEEDS HELP)

- Few or no feathers
- Eyes may be closed
- Cannot hop or stand

👉 What to do:

- If you can find the nest: put it back
- No nest? Contact a wildlife rehabilitator

❗ The “human scent” myth is false — most birds have a very weak sense of smell and will not abandon their young because of you.

⚠️ The Most Common Mistake

Someone sees a baby bird on the ground.
Assumes it fell.
Takes it inside.

Meanwhile, the parents are nearby — watching, waiting, and searching.

Now the chick is separated.
And its chances of survival drop significantly, because humans can’t replicate what its parents provide.

👉 The #1 reason baby birds end up in rehab?
Well-meaning people taking them unnecessarily.

Most of these birds would have been fine.
On the ground.
Being fed.
By parents who were right there.

🚨 If a fledgling is in danger (cats, roads):

- Gently move it to a nearby bush or sheltered spot
- Keep it within about 15 meters (50 feet)
- Parents will find it by its calls

🆘 If it’s truly orphaned or injured:

- Contact a licensed wildlife rehabilitator

💡 The best thing you can do?

Walk away.

Its parents are watching.
And they’re waiting for you to leave.
