My local patch

What is your local patch? It could be your back garden, the local wood, or anywhere you go to watch wildlife near you. Whatever or wherever it is, if you’ve got a great story to tell, we want to hear it!

Send an e-mail to phoenix@rspb.org.uk describing, in no more than 500 words, what makes your local patch special to you, and your story could feature here. Please include a head-and-shoulders photo of yourself to go with it.

We can’t guarantee to include all submissions, but we’ll do our best to feature as many as possible.
