Lovely piece Gary and l share your love of great white egrets, majestic angels! There’s so much to be done, we must connect with committed people and we must connect these nature reserves and other rich areas one to another.
A lovely read, and important message Gary. Heartening to see the hard work paying off with so many threatened species returning the waterways. Similar work happens here in native plant/habitat restoration, or 'bush care' as it's known. Almost all voluntary, we visited a site in the outskirts of Southwest Sydney on the Cook's River last week which was an industrial dumping ground, it's been almost completed restored by wonderful locals over 30 years or more. It gave me hope great hope, as did this read!

Just struck me that you have spotted the same number of species in your garden as at Rutland Water. That's impressive, Ken. But so is the garden!
Don’t think so Gary - RW 270 species, Lady Farm 137 species…… but l’ll keep trying!

You’re absolutely correct on the need to connect people and places, Ken

Thanks Anna. Good to hear about what's happening on your patch. Always enjoy reading Nature Notes. (However, I'll avoid mentioning 'weeds'!)
Thanks Anna. We have to hold on to the hope of these solutions no matter how small they are now. There’s always an opportunity to grow.
