A brilliant 'well done' to Michael Old from Benfleet who has just been awarded GOLD in the RSPB Wildlife Action Awards.
This plucky 6 year old has gone above and beyond in the call to 'step up for nature', completing over 20 activities, including counting butterflies and moths, helping hedgehogs, planting trees and writing to an MP.
