πŸŽ₯ A stoat investigates a water vole monitoring raft β€” a rare glimpse of this predator in the water.

A sharp bird alarm at the end sends it racing back to shore.

Wild Cornwall at its finest.

The Cirl Bunting is singing its way back into Cornwall’s story.

Once gone, now reintroduced and thriving on the Roseland Peninsula β€” another conservation comeback alongside the return of the chough.

Thank you! The Β£40 donations are all from Aviva employees, they get given a voucher to donate to a project of their choice but as Aviva are already giving the fund they don't also match fund it.

With Aviva’s match funding, every Β£ you give (up to Β£250) is doubled β€” so your impact is even greater.

In August, Cornwall’s damp meadows and heaths glow with the purple blooms of Devil’s-bit scabious.

It’s a late-season nectar lifeline for pollinators and the sole larval food plant for the rare marsh fritillary butterfly, whose larvae feed on its leaves throughout autumn and winter.

Not the most flattering angle, but definitely one of the rarest we’ve filmed in Cornwall.

Seen skulking through the undergrowth at Trelusback Foundation… can you guess the bird?

Yesterday we visited Woodland Valley Farm with some of our business members to see the incredible beaver habitat there.

Beavers create wetlands, boost biodiversity, clean water, and reduce flood risk β€” all by doing what comes naturally.

Our camera trap just met its match: a camera-shy woodcock.

A few steps into frame, a glance at the lens, and it was gone.

Some wildlife prefers to keep its secrets.

The Cornish chough vanished in 1973.

Gone from the cliffs. Gone from the skies.

Then in 2001 – 3 returned.

Now in 2025? 300+ wild choughs call Cornwall home again.

A local legend reborn. A real-world comeback. 🐦πŸ”₯
