Helen has been working as an Ecological Clerk if Works (ECoW) on a road widening scheme over the past few months. Her role has involved searching for dormice, reptiles and nesting birds. This rather beautiful nest belongs to a pair of Dunnocks and will be protected until all the chicks are fully fledged. Please visit our website for more information about nesting birds, surveys and legislation

Such a beautiful nest ❤️
Here is a short video clip of a dormouse demonstrating some impressive climbing skills, which I was lucky enough to film last Autumn.
Two of the young reptiles found on site this week. The first is a juvenile grass snake and the second is a sub-adult male slow worm. Aren’t they gorgeous?
What a super start to bat survey season. Three dusk emergence surveys completed with Greater and Lesser Horseshoe Bats, Myotis species and Common Pipistrelle Bats recorded. Thank you to those who assisted with surveys this week 🦇
Whilst carrying out her role as ECoW on site today, Helen caught and relocated this gorgeous female dormouse. She was still quite young, so likely to have been born towards the end of the summer season last year.
