Huge thanks to everyone who helped clear 244kg of rubbish from the beaches at Chapel Point, Gibraltar Point and Anderby Creek this weekend. 'Finds' included fishing nets, a sock, empty bottles of beer and vodka, two Crocs (not a pair!) and plastic nurdles from the tanker collision in the spring.

Conservation grazers, Ruby and Blair, are last year’s calves. They were raised together after Ruby sadly lost her mum, and these past few weeks they've been embracing 'wild' living at Far Ings National Nature Reserve on the south bank of the Humber.

Not a bittern's usual secretive, camouflaged reedbed habitat, but what a picture!
A rare sighting of a juvenile out in the open grassland on the reserve, close to the path at Far Ings NNR on the south bank of the Humber estuary. With huge thanks to regular visitor Audrey Hunt for sharing the photo.

These fabulous photos of a hobby were taken by Brian Cocksedge at Whisby Nature Park. You can see it chomping down on a tasty dragonfly, one of the speciality food items of this bird of prey.
If you're visiting Whisby, keep a look out - these photos were taken at Grebe Lake.

Look who's moved into one of our workshops! A small colony of brown long-eared bats has chosen to roost in the building, apparently unperturbed by the comings and goings of our wardens, and they are making the most of the rich feeding grounds over the surrounding nature reserve.

A big thank you to the 10 volunteers from Equans who joined coastal warden Dave Miller for their annual beach clean in the Lincolnshire Coastal Country Park last week. They collected 21kg of rubbish from the beach at Chapel Point - sadly including nurdles from the cargo ship collision in the spring.

After a few days with no sightings, it was a joy to see the crane chick from Willow Tree Fen nature reserve flying high on Sunday.
It continues the incredible run of cranes breeding on the nature reserve for the sixth successive year.

Wins for nature in unlikely places: over 300 bee orchids and 10 other species growing in the car park margins at the Flogas Britain depot in Horncastle.
All thanks to an early spring sighting of the orchid rosettes and an understanding manager who was very happy to relax the grass-cutting regime.
