Grassland fungi season is finally in full swing and so are we, with both events and surveys. Once again we are finding new sites with rare and beautiful fungi, including some really special discoveries such as the Sunset Waxcap - for which only a handful of records exist! 🍄

The Live Labs 2 project is continuing in Hayton and Burnby (tinyurl.com/4z84wmyy) and we've been collecting and processing lots of camera and audio sensor material as part of our role supporting the project's nature recording aspect. A highlight was this fantastic Badger captured on trail camera! 📸

Last week Josie and Hannah visited North Yorkshire Archives, examining fascinating 18th century maps to help inform the last stages of the Ancient Woodland Inventory update project, building evidence to support the inclusion or exclusion of 'new' ancient woodland on the updated inventory 🌳🔎

Yesterday we attended the Leeds MSc Biodiversity and Conservation field skills day alongside @ynuorg.bsky.social,
introducing students to biological recording. We've been attending the day for over 10 years and always enjoy the chance to share our knowledge of ecological data 👥

The warm nights have allowed us to moth trap at Jubilee Pasture between Bugthorpe and Kirby Underdale on the Halifax Estate in East Yorkshire. The grassland was looking lovely and we managed to trap a nice array of moths, including the ever popular show-stopper - the Poplar hawk-moth.
