A warden's work is never done! 😁 Petos is a great habitat to watch/help develop over the years and it's only getting better

[Suffolk Wildlife Trust North East Reserves @SWT_NE_Reserves]

Peto’s Marsh @SWTCarltonMarsh looks ready for winter with footdrains refreshed, scrape edges rotovated, sward short, rush weedwiped. Bring on the waders and wildfowl this winter and let’s hope for fledging productivity again next spring! Onto the scrub work and Reedbed cutting!

Great to have @SWTLoundWarden out on the softrack today improving habitat in front of tower hide @SWTCarltonMarsh . Keeping our #fen areas cut and grazed is a key part of our #wetland management

[Suffolk Wildlife Trust North East Reserves @SWT_NE_Reserves]

Great to see the North East team taking the reserve at @SWTCarltonMarsh forward with dynamic management ready for waders this winter and chick productivity next spring. @SWTBroadsWarden @GavinDurrant1 @SWTLoundWarden @WildlifeTrusts @BroadsAuth @HeritageFundUK

Best of all was this stunning Short eared owl @suffolkwildlife @SWTSiteManager @SWTBroadsWarden

Another first for the gate mounted trail cam intended to capture raptors at Carlton marshes was this lovely Merlin. Ignore the time it should be pm and not am, sorry @SWTSiteManager @suffolkwildlife @SWTBroadsWarden

[Gavin Durrant @GavinDurrant1]

Great to see that my local Barn owls seem to have survived the recent spell of terrible weather here in the Waveney valley. This one flew past me and landed on a gate only 20m away @suffolkwildlife @SWTSiteManager @SWTBroadsWarden

Still a few Wasp spiders around in the Waveney valley, this one was guarding its egg sack @SWTSiteManager @suffolkwildlife @SWTBroadsWarden

Mum and cub encounter a Chinese water deer at Carlton marshes last week. The cub is now almost at an age where it will be encouraged to go its own way by mum and put to use all it has learned from her over the last year or so @SWTSiteManager @suffolkwildlife @SWTBroadsWarden
