How ever you like your pancakes lemon & sugar or orange & sugar or chocolate spread or going savoury. Please think about what you do with the fat or oil that you’ve been cooking with. Don’t pour it down the sink!! Let it cool & bin it! Anglian Water

I’ve just listened to the NEW CIEEM Podcast. It’s really informative & interesting giving a short overview of a couple of topics: Invasive Non-Native Strategy, IPCC report & the High Seas Treaty. Looking forward to next month’s Podcast 👍

I was at Grafham Water early yesterday (30.04.23) & I got to hear my first Cuckoo of the year, sadly only 1 Nightingale singing. Plenty of other birds to see, Lesser Whitethroat, Reed, Willow & Harden Warblers.

Despite the wind it didn’t stop us from carrying out a spot of rock pooling at Longis Beach. Our most impressive find was this Sea Hare grazing on the seaweed. “Take nothing but pictures; leave nothing but footprints; kill nothing but time” AlderneyWT #LivingSeas

I carried out a newt survey in my small garden pond the other night: 14 male & 5 female Smooth Newts, also 8 Cased Caddisflies. A few years ago I created a hibernaculum. @ARGroupsUK Amphibian and Reptile Conservation Freshwater Habitats Trust
