Completed October's BeeWalk for the Bumblebee Conservation Trust at the transect in Fingringhoe. Common carders spotted on the wildflowers, and long tailed tits in the trees! A peaceful hour, collating much needed data to help save wild bees in Essex.

Completed September's BeeWalk for the Bumblebee Conservation Trust along the transect in Colchester Castle Park. A lovely sunny day, not many bees, but still some out foraging, before winter's hibernation. Help the bees in Spring by planting native wildflowers, or even super easy blooms such as nasturtiums or marigolds.

Six goodgymers supported the volunteer team at Colchester junior parkrun, to ensure 78 participants could complete their run in the sunshine. Some really strong performances and excellent sprint finishes were cheered in, with smiles all round. Well done everyone!

Completed August's BeeWalk for the Bumblebee Conservation Trust at Fingringhoe Wick. The highest count was in segment one - the car park! The wild flowers there were still offering the bees something to forage on, whilst the blackberry buds had turned to juicy berries for the birds. Show your support for wildlife and wild bees by setting up a route in your area to add to the data bank.

Counted up the bumblebees in Castle Park - one of our 'Beewalk' routes in the area. Last chance to do so in July, just in time. Despite the rain showers, we saw quite a few wild bees, which was great. Unfortunately, wild bees are declining everywhere and need our help. Head across to the Bumblebee Conservation Trust's website to see how you can help.

A lovely evening for getting some extra steps in to tend Pam's allotment. Louise, Ray and Alex headed north via a meet up at the Mercury, whereas Stu and Helen took a short cut. We divided up the tasks, grabbed some tools and got stuck in. Louise made the plot look super tidy by strimming, Ray bravely tackled the prickly brambles which had popped up everywhere, Alex made a dozen trips to the water tank, and gave everything a really good drink, Stu weeded the vegetable beds, and unearthed a surprised beetroot, and a very tall chard, and Helen weeded the potatoes and corn. The allotment looked much better and Pam was really grateful for our efforts. Well done everyone 👏 👍
