My clever girl has won the runner-up prize in the City Council's "Wildlife in the Garden" art competition. It was also the Environment Council's 3rd birthday and so there was a little ceremony to go along with the birthday cake.

Did you know that over 1/4 of Cambridge is private gardens? That's quite a lot of potential living space for wildlife if people garden for it and encouraging this is a big part of the Environment Council's remit. The top prizes were digital cameras, and as I think I've mentioned before, digital photography is a great way of encouraging people to look around them a little more (and a little closer).
