A magnificent crack willow, found in boggy corner whilst hunting for glacial ponds in @herefordshirewt.bsky.social Sturts reserve.
Name is not a drug reference (though willows are valued for their pain-relieving properties), but for its habit of splitting and developing deep cracks.

A lovely morning spent carrying out riverfly monitoring by a cool, shady stream.
A great way to check on the health of a stream or river and be alerted to any pollution incidents.

To enable us to graze areas of Bartonsham Meadows (to create a mosaic of habitats for wildlife) new fencing will be installed this month.
Some paths will no longer be accessible but there will still be extensive access to the majority of the site. More at: www.herefordshirewt.org/news/restori...

Some highlights from Tretawdy Farm this morning: Ruby-tailed wasp, slow worm, small skipper & common spotted orchid. A very underrated HWT reserve: it’s messiness makes it excellent for invertebrates, reptiles and mammals. @herefordshirewt.bsky.social
