A new field gate and kissing gate have been installed by the ranger team in the top orchard at Cockington this week. They have also been cutting back the bracken to prevent it from spreading in the orchard. #kissinggate #cockingtonorchard #orchard #bracken #countrysiderangers

A fantastic recent find at Berry Head! This is a Large Scabious Mining Bee, which hasn't been spotted in Torbay in recent years. This one was spotted and very kindly shared with us by Bill Coulson. 📷 Bill Coulson #largescabiousminingbee #berryheadnationalnaturereserve #aonb pic.x.com/Z2CDcymgf0

The latest bat count at Berry Head has confirmed we have over 100+ bats living there - the highest number since 2005! Pictured here are some of the greater horseshoe bat babies in the bat "hot box" on the ceiling where they roost. #greaterhorseshoebat

Our ranger team cares for over 40 miles of footpath right across Torbay. This week the team has been out fixing a collapsed section of boardwalk in the Cockington Water Meadows. This is a beautiful walk through meadows and woodland, connecting Cockington to the coast. pic.x.com/VBKrU3cWm9

After the high winds last week, the team has been out clearing fallen trees from the footpaths, helping to keep your favourite walks open across the bay. This tree was brought down in Scadson Woods. #countrysiderangers #fallentrees #footpathmaintenance #scadsonwoods
