A short catch-up and a recount of my trip to see the white stork on Worth Marshes in Kent.

From deer, raven and nuthatches to dreams of goshawk, my short break to The New Forest — including trips to Blackwater Arboretum and Bolderwood Deer Sanctuary — was amazing!

In this post, I discuss how I use nature to ground me on a bad mental health day. Watching kestrel fledglings, fulmars, house martins and rock pipits on a balmy evening post-storm was exactly what I needed on a day that didn’t feel so bright.
