Volunteers have been busy over the last few weeks clearing fen vegetation from New Fen, and had some unlikely helpers last week while unloading the tarpaulins onto the ever growing arisings pile on Parkers Piece! Photos courtesy of Ellie Beach. #volunteersmakeadifference

If the project in the Highlands isn’t working. Then surely this project is a waste of time.

I don't think I've seen a photo of 3 diver species in the UK before. Great photo.

That was almost in my garden as I lived in the cottage in Northaw Great Wood. I was in Norfolk the day it was found recovering from a monster hangover. When I got the call I thought it was a wind up. Saw it the next day and every day for the next 3 weeks.

That's an impressive pod, and the drone footage is incredible. Shame drones weren't a thing in the days of the Pride of Bilbao!

Given its size I'd say its a dunlin.

Bit like the eggs that got deliberately stamped on my a man who accessed the nest on St Albans cathedral. Caught on camera, bloke got questioned by police, all went quite.

I'm assuming that the increase in black-faced buntings in the UK over the last 2 autumns is due to a population boom on its breeding grounds. By my reckoning 6 have been ringed in the UK over the last 2 years.

Our thanks to Mark Smith, one of our volunteers, who was a font of knowledge leading our Moss Identification walk on Sunday. Everyone found it very interesting and went away knowing a little more about this fascinating species. #moss #littleouseriver #fens

Here's one by me whenever someone uses the word weed: there's no such thing as a weed, it's just a wildflower in the wrong place"

Grey heron with a really small fish.

Grey heron with a really small fish.

It must take a lot of small fish to satisfy the appetite of a grey heron. Doesn't seem like the best strategy..but I suppose its better than nothing.
