This site is a water vole hotspot, so after carefully cutting the vegetation to knee height we layered it just before the bank to provide them with some shelter. Also spotted this latrine! #watervole #watervolelatrine #watervoleconservation

I recently returned from a gorgeously green holiday in the Lake District where we spent all our time exploring and hiking up fells, crags and mountains.🌲⛰️

Do you even ecology if you don’t get stuck welly-deep in a ditch and have to haul yourself out into a patch of stinging nettles all because you wanted to get a good position for your camera trap? 😅🤣

Want to know something really epic? There are over 2,500 species of moth in the UK. They live in a wide range of habitats, are a major part of our biodiversity & provide a huge array of ecological benefits. Now that’s epic 👍

I love being the ‘animal person’ in my family because I get texts like this asking for ID of ‘weird bugs’. 😂 #id #ecology #crazybuglady

Your friendly neighbourhood #hedgehog rescuer. Successfully relocated this poor little guy who was lost in the middle of the road in broad daylight. 🦔💚
