Over the past few days our Wilder Humber team have been carrying out the monthly bird, invertebrate and plant surveys on a saltmarsh restoration site. This monitoring is a vital part of understanding the impact of a new saltmarsh management technique to control the spread of a dominant grass species

The two crane chicks born at Willow Tree Fen this year are flying! What a sight. And another fantastic success story for this nature reserve, which has undergone an incredible transformation since it was bought by the Trust in 2009 as intensively farmed arable land. 📸Crane Watch volunteer Dave Coats

Two young cranes fly with their parents above Willow Tree Fen nature reserve in south Lincolnshire. The youngsters are getting almost as big as their parents, but don't yet have all their adult feathers, including the distinctive red and black crown, so are easy to tell apart with binoculars.

And just like that, the Lincolnshire Show is over for another year! Our pop-up shorebird sanctuary has returned to the coast and apart from the somewhat flattened grass left by many, many feet over the two days, it's like we were never there on the showground.

It was an early start for Gibraltar Point's Mothy Morning event on Sunday—but what a morning! Sixty-seven species were recorded with the real excitement coming near the end with a striped hawkmoth (a first for Gibraltar Point!) and a Porter’s rustic—only the second sighting at the reserve.

The first egg for the year has been laid in the Gibraltar Point shorebird sanctuary, courtesy of this lovely oystercatcher pair! There's been plenty of courtship activity and test scrapes being made by ringed plovers, so we're hoping they won't be far behind, closely followed by the little terns.

Today we join everyone in wishing Sir David Attenborough a happy 100th birthday. The man who brought the world's wildlife into our living rooms has always been a passionate advocate for local species and habitats. In Lincolnshire we enjoyed Sir David's support and presence on many notable occasions.

Exciting news from Willow Tree Fen, where two crane chicks emerged from the reeds last week. We've been keeping their arrival quiet over the bank holiday as they are very sensitive to disturbance. If you're visiting, binoculars are recommended and our amazing Crane Watch volunteers are on hand.
