Yorkshire is ablaze with colour from the wildflower meadows, which are at their peak right now. It's a great year for orchids in particular, so get out and enjoy the glorious meadows around Yorkshire this summer. 💜 ywt.org.uk/blog/wildflowe… #nationalmeadowday Yorkshire Wildlife Trust - North Yorkshire

A great start to the week with some fern and sedge ID at Yorkshire Wildlife Trust - follow us on Bluesky 🦋 Askham Bog with the fabulous Alastair Fitter. Some really rare plants seen, inc Crested Buckler Fern, Slender and Pale Sedge. Also, three lovely Lunar Hornet Clearwings came to the pheromone lure.

Setting off this year's survey season in style - creating a new crayfish ark site in the Derwent Catchment earlier this month. Great effort from everyone involved. Funding from Natural England Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire Species Recovery Programme.

Our new-ish scrapes at Low Carr near Pickering still holding plenty of water and are teeming with dragonflies this morning. Also, a few Teal, Snipe and Green Sandpipers. Amazing how much marginal and emergent vegetation is colonising the new wetlands.

Good luck to Becca Wanless who leaves us this week to pursue a new career. Becca has supported many of our projects from water quality sampling on the River Wiske (pic), to installing new Great Crested Newt Ponds and surveying for White-clawed Crayfish. We will miss you Becca!

Our Mid-Swale Project Officer is out today spreading a wetland seed mix around scrapes created in January near Northallerton. Listening to nothing but Skylarks & water fowl 😊
