Wyver Lane looked very different 6 years ago today. Not much water currently, but on this day, we were in severe flood @richardttaylor.bsky.social @willowglass12.bsky.social @cliveaderbys.bsky.social @chrisjacksonlrps.bsky.social

A year ago today, I'd only been trapping a few months when I was blown away by finding the first ever record of Blair's Mocha for VC57 in my south Derbyshire garden #teammoth

Excuse my scruffs, I'd just come back from Wyver & was doing some shopping at Morrisons when this fella came over asking for a photo. Happy to oblige, Nige @cliveaderbys.bsky.social @richardttaylor.bsky.social @danmartinwildlife.bsky.social @willowglass12.bsky.social @chrisjacksonlrps.bsky.social
