Brindle & Green

Brindle & Green is a pragmatic yet affordable ecological survey provider to planners, architects and developers alike.

We are now in the optimum flight period of many of the UK's pollinating invertebrates. Species rich grassland provides optimal foraging and egg laying habitat for a number of priority species of butterfly which could be overlooked.

Throwback to this time last week when the B&G team were at our annual mid-season trip to York! This is a tradition for the company, thanking the staff for their hard work throughout the year and the ecology season thus far. Think you'll agree that we scrub up well!

Due to changes in planning policy and environmental legislation, biodiversity net gain is fast becoming a key issue for clients. At B&G, we can survey, condition score and value sites and advise on whether targets for biodiversity can be met.

Summer is the peak flowering period for many UK grasslands. A botanical survey provides classifications of grassland habitat, allowing the site to be assessed against Local Wildlife Site Selection criteria to judge a proposed development's impact.

Our #archaeology team have been on an excavation field course at Besselsleigh in Oxfordshire. The course involved #excavation, recording archaeological contexts, processing of finds, plan and section drawings of trenches, and use of GPS and other tools.

Been a bit lax with #30dayswild but we're back with a bang for the last day! This is a beautiful marbled white butterfly, found this morning on some unimproved chalk grassland

We are delighted to have been part of the design team to secure an energy storage facility in Cowstead in Kent. The site supports a nationally significant population of grass snake, slow worm and common lizard alongside water vole.

Today's #30dayswild are these lovely (and very curious!) cows, who tried to help our with our arb survey yesterday

[Brindle & Green @BrindleGreen]

A fantastic find for our ecologists today - a skylark nest! These ground-nesting birds need to raise 2-3 broods every year in order to maintain populations, but changes to cereal farming methods in the past few decades mean that their numbers are declining #30dayswild

[Brindle & Green @BrindleGreen]

One of our landscape team was very privileged to have a close encounter with this great tit yesterday evening. This little guy had accidentally flown into a greenhouse (but thankfully managed to get back out again!) #30dayswild

[Brindle & Green @BrindleGreen]

For today's #30dayswild post, we have a fantastic yellow wagtail as spotted on a site today by one of our keen ecologists 😍
