Fantastic conservation here at this north Suffolk location where 6 of their Swift nest boxes are active + over 30 House Martin nests on this and surrounding buildings, all from nothing.

Volunteers carry out regular Riverfly monitoring on the Little Ouse. This involves taking a kick sample and then counting specific invertebrates to give an indication of the quality of the water. Recently they came across these interesting cased caddis with cases made of stones. Photo Ellie Beach
