It was drone day today at @Wheatfen getting important LiDAR data of the #wetwoodland. And an almost all-female team, with @emilyrlines leading us, which was fitting for #InternationalWomensDay!

Has anyone set up a SmartRivers hub to monitor local river health? @NorfolkNats @Wheatfen could be something for the group to setup and get involved in? https://t.co/ycFPHNuQrg

A return to @Wheatfen with @norfolkmoths, and an interesting few hours of surveying at night. Here’s a rather nice Golden Spot moth.

Will the Warden has just put together a new blog sharing some of his favourite wildlife highlights of the summer at Wheatfen.

From voles, to sightings of alder moth larvae and attacks by feral pheasants, there's a lot to remember!
