@chriswithers13 @IrrigationUK1 "Plan D" for Desalination

[HalpinRobbins Ltd @halpinrobbins]

@chriswithers13 @IrrigationUK1 In a simple term plant trees, build and restore wetlands, build and restore lakes and ponds. Basically capture rainfall when it comes and allow it to flow infiltrate the ground rather than flushing away to the sea

[HalpinRobbins Ltd @halpinrobbins]

@chriswithers13 @IrrigationUK1 Yes. Across the world wells are drying and being dug deeper to get to other aquifers. Work needs to be done on refreshing aquifers not digging deeper wells.

Big thanks to Jake's Rakes for delivering our new kit so quickly.
Now for some more aquatic weed work.

What is an Ecological Survey and what type of survey do I need? #PEA #ecology #survey #development #Construction

If you have not previously had an ecological assessment of your site, then it is most likely that you require a Preliminary Ecological Appraisal (PEA)

[HalpinRobbins Ltd @halpinrobbins]

Preliminary Ecological Appraisals can be undertaken at anytime of the year and any weather... But we prefer sunny.

Clear signs of badger and deer on today's site. But it may have been some time ago.

First priority is safety first, but those surveys that can be done will be.

2. Finding some new oil beetle aggregations and watching some courting! This female was totally not bothered and completely focussed on feeding on the lesser celandine. These cool creatures have an awesome life cycle and are parasitic on solitary bees

Reptile survey season has started.
Humans may be on lock down but the slow worms are clearly enjoying the peace and quiet.

**something for the kids**
Are you stuck indoors, fancy starting a wildlife log?
Get a pen and paper, look out the window and write down what wildlife you see.
If you are able to take a photograph please show us what you see.
