At the @royalwelshshow last week and great to see a few house martins. Sadly lots of evidence of nests that had fallen, at least 1 must have fallen recently as an adult kept flying to where it used to be. Perhaps fallen due to the recent heat.@NFFNUK @RSPBCymru #housemartin

Not a great morning, cows broke trough the fence and destroyed the ten bales due to be fed them over the next few days. All the fun of winter bale grazing - but in the summer! Thanks a bunch #drought20w5

The aim was to educate and inspire farmers to improve their hedgerows with either more sensitive flailing or rejuvenation principles like coppicing or laying. This was backed up with talks to help farmers access grants and ecological payments to make it viable. #hedgefest24
