HEAT volunteers had a good session today clearing the wildlife pond for the Eco Warriors at the Community primary School. More light and fewer nettles 👏👏👏

This year at The Hadleigh Show HEAT will have an exhibition called 'Life on the Edge' and will celebrate all the wonderful wildlife and nature that thrives in the Hedgerows and margins around the farmers fields that cover our beautiful county.

We know we have some fabulous photographers in Hadleigh and the surrounding area and will would like put on a photographic display showing some of the amazing creatures that live alongside us, but who are often well hidden.

We will reproduce your photographs on large display boards and will of course credit you for your work. We are looking for around twenty good quality photos that show the wildlife and nature in our countryside. If you would like to be involved then please drop us a message we would love to see your photos.

Meant to be out last year, but rumoured to be blocked by Number 10, it seems to have been quietly released on a busy news week...

The judgements are stomach-churning.

Bat lovers - a friend from Holton St Mary sent me these results of a wild life survey. I understand they used sound equipment to detect what creatures were active.

There was two locations used, 500m apart. The first location was used up to the 8 Sep and looks to have significantly more bat activity than the second location.

Calling all twitchers, who can identify this bird? It was sitting on my garden fence, close to the Green Highway.
