It was a lovely sunny day on Saturday 26 August for our open day. It is always a pleasure to meet new people, show them around and learn new things. Many thanks to Martin Kentish for his fabulous photos.
Among other species visitors got to see a slow worm and a grass snake basking in the heat under the corrugated iron. The grass snake has a fungal disease in its eyes.
Julia Greaves and Jon Rosser told us about the Norwich and Norfolk Naturalists' Society, which we have now joined. It is Norfolk's oldest natural history organisation - dedicated to conserving the county's wildlife since 1869.
Trawling through the videos from our wildlife cameras, we were delighted to see our first glimpse of hedgehog, Erinaceus europaeus.
We discovered that Hemp agrimony, Eupatorium cannabinum, which grows abundantly all over the site, has not previously been recorded. Strange, as the Hemp Agrimony Plume, Adaina microdactyla, was recorded in May 2015. We now wonder what else may not be recorded.
