Aren't Water Voles wonderful. This Water Vole was filmed going about its business on the River Thaw in South Wales. They were reintroduced to the river last year, after a 20 year absence. Surveys this year suggests that the population is doing well and the Water Vole are exploring new habitats.

Another wonderful day at our Llwyndewi Nature Reserve, this time Bracken Bruising to help restore the grassland habitat and to create nesting plots for Nightjar next year. Huge thank you to all the volunteers from Bridgend College Conservation Volunteers. Huge help, as always.

Cattle are back at Llwyndewi Nature Reserve. Wonderful evening spent at the reserve watching these guys settling in to their new home. Cattle and conservation grazing are so important to Welsh Wildlife. Huge thank you to Toby our grazier.

To celebrate the success of our upland Water Vole project, we've produced this wonderful (day in a life) animation with @clothcatstudio.bsky.social. American Mink are still the biggest threat Water Voles face. Please help us fight for our remaining Water Voles. bit.ly/4eymyTy

Our Marsh Fritillary butterflies have finally stopped laying eggs in the rearing pen. Now its time for the big sort out.

We are already coming to the end of the Marsh Fritillary flight season in our rearing pens. Still a dozen or so butterflies left. Its sad to see, but its nice knowing that they have laid thousands of eggs ready to support the local population in South Wales.

Some wonderful Willow Tit news from the nature reserve. Big thank you to @wildhorizons.bsky.social @birdsinwales.bsky.social & Ynni Sir Gâr for the support.
