The first recorded wasp spider in this part of Yorkshire!
This non-native spider is slowly moving north with climate change. It’s eating a Roesel’s bush cricket, a native species which is also a recent arrival this far north.

Have you heard the nightjar’s eerie, engine-like “churr” this summer? These mysterious birds stir only at dusk, often heard but rarely seen. Spotting one is a magical moment - have you experienced it yet? 🐦✨

Plants like himalayan balsam & bracken can be a real problem on our nature reserves, creating mono-cultures that are poor habitat and outcompete native plants. So let's celebrate our volunteers who are out battling these villainous invasives every week! #InvasiveSpeciesWeek

Hi Jim, here you go! Our Nature Recovery Evidence Manager reminds us: Changes in species numbers don’t necessarily reflect true trends - they often reflect how, where & what we’re monitoring. We always analyse survey data in more detail & context to understand real biodiversity trends. 🌿
