Our @wildlifebcn.org moth surveys are also producing some fantastic results at @greatfen.org.uk this week. Two Clifden Nonpareils (Blue Underwings); amazingly camouflaged against this tree bark. Looking forward to sharing more moth magic at our Members' Day and Annual General Meeting next month.

Water beetle surveys taking place this week are producing some fantastic results at @greatfen.org.uk, including this male Great Silver Water Beetle. How did these magnificent insects recolonise the Great Fen? Standby for action!

With so much going on at the Great Fen, it’s never too soon for an update. This week, I'll be reviewing our progress up to and including 2025. Learn more at the evening indoor meetings of the Rutland Natural History Society (on Tuesday), and also at the Northamptonshire Bird Club (on Wednesday).

The moth survey across the @greatfen.org.uk this week produced some stunning results, including: the impressive Clifden Nonpareil (Blue Underwing), yet another L-album Wainscot, a magnificent male Great Silver Water Beetle, and plenty of the stunning Merveille du Jour.

Delighted to find a female #GreatSilverWaterBeetle in my garden #moth trap this morning. So encouraging to see #wildlife recolonising the area. Perhaps you've got a moth trap you can donate to the @greatfen.org.uk, especially a battery powered one? Contact me www.greatfen.org.uk/wildlife/mon...

Some of the 14x #GreatSilverWaterBeetles recorded today as part of our #GreatFen #moth and water #beetle #monitoring. They were attracted to the light traps at 5 sites in the Fen. Now they are all headed back to where they were caught.

A great weekend ahead at the Great Fen, under its big blue skies in the sunny weather. Looking forward to sharing the wildlife, the history, and the future of the Fens (restoration in action) on the Ecotour this Saturday. Only a couple of places available to book. www.wildlifebcn.org/events/2025-...

The Great Fen #Ecotour is nearly here, and it's encouraging to see lots of wildlife abroad. #Dragonflies and #butterflies are on the wing. Young birds and mammals are out and about, from young #Kingfishers to #WaterVole pups exploring their #wetland world. www.wildlifebcn.org/events/2025-...

February's #SpeciesoftheMonth is the short-eared owl (Asio flammeus)! A daytime flier, the short-eared owl is similar in size to the barn owl and can be spotted on wetland marshes & grassland. In East Anglia short-eared owls are a winter spectacular visiting from Scandinavia, Russia & Iceland.

There is a wealth of #wildlife to see and hear at the #Fens. Book a place on the @greatfen.org.uk #Ecotour for the full experience, which ventures to parts other visits do not reach! Get closer to #wildlife with the @wildlifebcn.org #volunteers and me next month. www.wildlifebcn.org/events/2025-...

Watch out for #Fen tigers on the prowl in the sunshine at the #GreatFen. #ScareChaser #dragonflies are stunning when newly emerged from the water. It's an orange coloration the adult female #insect retains, while the male turns blue! Learn more with me next month. www.wildlifebcn.org/events/2025-...
