Absolute pleasure being out with Carl 'Crucian Slayer' Sayer today finding huge numbers of these amazing fish podcast and vid to come later this year UCL Pond Restoration
Our biggest catch of Crucian Carp ever today. 2021 fish caught in 14 fyke net ends. Here are some of the fish. Much evidence of recruitment!!! #Crucians24
A great catch of 300+ crucian carp with many Great Crested Newts today. Stunning animals both of them!!! #Crucians24
New pond conservation course on 27th and 28th in Norfolk with FBA tutors Prof Carl Sayer Helen Greaves A must for anyone who wants to know more about the science & best practice restoration of these critically important freshwater habitats. See the courses section of our website.
The nets are set for day 2 in an ancient mere, an arable field edge pond & a woodland edge pond just the right side of the Norfolk-Suffolk border. Fingers crossed for crucian carp & maybe wild carp (aka wildies) in the morning... #crucians24
The #Tibblestone marks the boundary of Gloucestershire and Worcestershire. It now finds itself on the verge of a Texaco petrol station. Despite its short stature, it was recorded as being over 8ft high when rediscovered. Perfect #urbanprehistory for #StandingStoneSunday !
We have nets set in the hope of crucians in 3 likely North Norfolk ponds. What will we catch in the morning? Confident on eels. Maybe crucians...maybe both!!! #Crucians24

Well done Stop the Wensum Link ๐๐๐ Wensum Woodlanders ๐๐๐๐ณ๐ฆ๐ณ! A huge amount of pressure has helped with the correct decision on this awful project. A great bit of news that the environment gets a break here. All power to anti-roaders elsewhere still fighting. You are on the right side of history
The resurrection of a #ghostpingo #pond . One of 10 in-filled ancient pingos that we have restored on Norfolk Wildlife Trust land close to Thompson Common. We have recorded 57 wetland plants over 2 years. That is a gain of 57 plant species!!! Boom. Helene Burningham Tim Holt-Wilson
