It's 50 years since the international designation of important wetlands began, and what a year to highlight their contribution to the quantity and quality of freshwater on our planet!
Water levels are high as we celebrate World Wetlands Day, an opportunity to raise awareness of the global importance of wetlands and the part we play in protecting them.
This month marked the resumption of some of our public outdoor events. Over the weekend, I led a couple of small guided walks in the Great Fen, hunting for dragonflies.
Saturday evening provided an opportunity to learn more about the wildlife of the Great Fen, by joining the annual bat walk, which has been running for nearly 10 years.
Last Saturday was International Bat Night and so, once again, volunteers and staff from the Wildlife Trust guided the public on a bat survey of Woodwalton Fen National Nature Reserve.
