In the past month we've completed 28 #GroundNestingBird patrols with a total of 40 hours of monitoring and engagement.

Lookout for the red signs which indicate rare birds nesting sites. Disturbance will leave eggs & chicks vulnerable to predators.

The #CommonDogViolet thrives in sunny sites and is helped by ponies grazing on competing vegetation. This means the violet can bloom and set seed, which is good news for the rare pearl-bordered fritillary whose caterpillar feeds only on the leaves of violets. 🌼🌳

Restoring heathlands are having a big impact on increasing biodiversity in the New Forest & across the country.

A two year survey by Wild New Forest & the #NewForestBiodiversityForum discovered many threatened species have come back to these new open areas.

With foals and stallions in the #NewForest we’re asking people to take extra care when out or using the roads. 🐎

To help keep everyone safe, and the ponies, please keep your distance. If you want a photo use a zoom and please keep dogs under close control. 🙏

@DanielCMartin1 Indeed it is, we're happy we could share this moment!

[The New Forest - Forestry England @EngNewForest]

@Michael14kBall Thanks for your interest, yes we hope so too!

[The New Forest - Forestry England @EngNewForest]

We had a surprise visit to a #NewForest stream recently. This #Razorbill was recorded on a trail camera probably resting after some weather pushed it off course.

The Razorbill is a coastal seabird and would usually be found in marine or intertidal water.

@campaignstrat Possibly! 😄

[The New Forest - Forestry England @EngNewForest]

@Michael14kBall It was several miles, without disclosing the particular location. It's possible some local weather on the day had just pushed it off course for a short period.

[The New Forest - Forestry England @EngNewForest]

@darkpeakbirder @samgod96 We think so as it left after a few hours of resting.

If you are arranging for anyone to take away waste you can check they are registered to do so on the Environment Agency website.

Thanks to everyone helping to reduce fly-tipping in this special place 🙏

[The New Forest - Forestry England @EngNewForest]

We joined local police & partners this week to help tackle fly-tipping in the #NewForest.

A joint op stopped vehicles carrying waste to check they had the correct licences, two of them didn’t have a waste carriers licence & will need to purchase one within 14 days or be fined.

From 11 May stallions will be turned out in the New Forest. The following six weeks will be an important period for the ponies and during the breeding season animals may behave unpredictably and cross roads at speed. 🐎
