Wild gems: November 2023
“No one will protect what they don't care about; and no one will care about what they have never experienced.”
Sir David Attenborough has spoken, and who would contradict him? And so, at least once a month, I go out into the stunning Essex countryside to experience the natural world that I care so much about.
As a member of the Essex Wildlife Trust, I tend to be drawn to their sites, but I also venture to other conservation areas and projects and bring back images of and information about some of the “wild gems” I encounter along the way. Previous editions of these blog posts can be found here, or there’s a complete gallery here.
This month’s site
This month is a double feature, because I was lucky enough to spend a (very cold!) weekend practically on top of RSPB Snettisham, and I also took a day out to visit the Essex Wildlife Trust’s Chigborough Lakes reserve. I’ve also snuck in one of the dunlins during low tide in Maldon, just because I think they’re adorable.
