Nice to find a Scarce Fungus Weevil - Platyrhinus resinosus on Hackney Marshes. Great looking little critters!

Nice to see an old friend who’s way more than doubled in size since we last met.

A shameful act of habitat destruction, needlessly felling this ancient oak tree.

You wait over 20 years to see a band, they play less than two minutes walk from home and the gig ends in beautiful chaos.. Happy Days!

Two Foxes.. These Foxes are partly hand reared, I don’t recommend hand feeding foxes or any wild animals even if you ‘know’ them.

Trashed the archive, lost contact with a lot of good people, but I'm out of the cesspit.

Look at that little face! One of many Short-tailed voles relocated during Hackney Marshes grassland management.
Great to have this species back on site after years of it being absent. We've also helped Wood mouse & Common Shrews recover, now Kestrels have returned & Weasel numbers have increased.

Sometimes balancing small mammal species recovery & grassland management is tough, creating habitat refuges and cutting grass in a slow methodical way, then relocating animals by hand delivers the best all round results. We braved the cold & rain to ensure this vole & others moved to a suitable home

One of the last Common Toads seen on Hackney Marshes, found while clearing up some rubbish back in 2020. Next year we'll survey the surrounding area, continue building habitat and hopefully see this species return. #herpetology #toad #hackney #rewilding
