Last one from the great first year of the LNRP trailcam lending scheme. This curious badger seen at a house on the Huntingdon Road. Let us know if you would like to borrow the camera and find out what is visiting your garden

Spectacular Swifts! Watching these visitors in our skies must surely be one of the top Wild Girton events in the calendar. This group nest on Wellbrook Way and was installed by Action for Swifts. Visit in the morning or evening to experience it at its best

The community trail-camera lending scheme is going very well! It has recently moved to its third household and captured lots of cool videos so far. Here's one from the village showing a badger browsing for worms. Please get in touch if you would like to find out what is visiting your garden!

Corvids are known for being some of the cleverest birds. We've christened this one "Fondue" for their habit of softening bread in the bird bath. Bread is not the best food to give birds and better options (that involve less cleaning out of one's bird bath!) are available

Spoonbills are named for their distinctive spatula-like bills, used to sift food from water with a sweeping motion. Absent breeding from the UK for 300 years, they began nesting again in 2010 on the North Norfolk coast, spreading to the Cambs Ouse Washes, where a pair bred successfully last year.

First trailcam badger we've been sent this year. Thanks to Lucy Wilson
Badger sightings are not uncommon from the north of the village. We wonder if anyone further south has them too. Let us know

A beautiful Blackcap Warbler visiting today. They are common with numbers increasing in the UK but an infrequent visitor to this particular bird bath.
The females are not as easily identified but you will agree that the male is an easy spot on account of the headgear!
