Suffolk Wildlife Trust needs our help!

Quick post for all you locals out there, Suffolk Wildlife Trust wants to buy Knettishall Heath. They’ve already secured a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund, but they need to raise £100,000 by the end of January to complete the purchase.

Suffolk Wildlife Trust looks after my local reserve – Redgrave and Lopham Fen, and they do a really fantastic job there.

It would be great to see Knettishall Heath managed as a nature reserve, there’s already so much wonderful wildlife there, and plenty of great walks too.

If you’d like to help them safeguard Knettishall Heath for ever, you can donate here: http://www.justgiving.com/Knettishall

    A beautiful morning on the Fen, what a relief to have some calm sunny weather! The first bird of the day was a Spotted Flycatcher near the visitors centre – a lovely little bird. A pair of Treecreepers were also hanging around. Walking out onto the fen, I saw the Little Grebe in his regular…

  • The Murmuration

    You may have noticed from my Facebook page that I have had the most amazing luck to find a Starling murmuration on my way home from work. If you’ve never witnessed a murmuration before, I strongly suggest you go and see one next Winter as it is one of the most enthralling spectacles in the…

  • Sedge Warbler

    Here’s a few Sedge Warbler photos from this morning on the Fen.         The adults were being kept busy by the newly fledged youngsters scattered throughout the reedbed, their wheezy cries coming from deep within the vegetation begging for yet more food.   (Click images to view larger…) If you like what…
