You might have heard us talking about lead ammunition a lot lately. But how did we get here? At this critical moment, we wanted to tell this story through the people at WWT whoโ€™ve been fighting for wetlands and wildlife every step of the way. ๐Ÿ‘‰ features.wwt.org.uk/how-did-we-getโ€ฆ

A living willow screen has recently been planted near the Polden Screen by volunteers and the wardens using willow cut from around the site โ˜€๏ธ Over time the cut stakes and branches pushed into the ground will put down roots and sprout as a new line of trees ๐ŸŒฟ

A Little Ringed Plover flying by at WWT Steart Marshes this morning. These birds are fast movers and with a body length of 14-15cm they are a tad small. The trick to photographing them is to wait till they fly around in circles which they seem to do at the start of the breeding year!!!
