Our Rare Species project officer is having a great day on a brilliant @FSCBioLinks Flies ID course. A really fascinating but under-recorded group #RareMalvernsWildlife #hlf

Only a couple of days to go to the deadline for our Natural Networks Officer jobs. If you'd like to help us create new habitats for wildlife in Worcestershire, why not take a look worcswildlifetrust.co.uk/jobs/natural-n…

Our next Moth & Bat Night will is next Monday 9th July (9pm-late), followed by a 'Morning of Moths' on the Tuesday 10th morning (8-10am) at a wonderful farm near Mathon. To book a place on both/one event contact our Project Officer: [email protected] Malvern Hills AONB Worcs Wildlife Trust @MothIDUK

Had a great night moth and bat hunting last night at Old Country Farm with Worcestershire Biological Records Centre. Highlights were this White plume moth and being told I was young because I could hear the bat's without a detector. Surprisingly years of loud music have done me no harm!!

We found Bats & Moths galore our evening/morning event at the wonderful Old Country Farm, Mahton. Thanks to all that came to learn, the invaluable experts & ella grace quincy for hosting us. Species list to follow once we've collated all of the records! #RareMalvernsWildlife #HLF

Nice afternoon out with Ledbury Nats who are surveying Adhisthana Buddhist centre nr Coddington. Highlights include Elephant Hawk moth caterpillar, red legged shield bug, and stone parsley. Some great expertise to help survey the Herefordshire part of our Rare Malvern's area!

Yes let us know of any otter sightings to help us build an accurate picture where our Worcestershire otters are (and perfect timing with our upcoming mammal atlas update!) x.com/WorcsWT/status…

Brilliant time at the Alfrick & Lulsley show on Saturday! Our wildlife sightings board was full by the end of the day showing how much amazing wildlife we have around the Suckley Hills area. Thanks to all that came to chat! #RareMalvernsWildlife #HLF

Our Rare Species project held a combined bat training and survey event. Trialling out the Echo Meter Touch bat detector, Johnny Birks kindly sharing his bat surveying knowledge and some wonderful tea and cakes (does biological recording get much better?!) #RareMalvernsWildlife

Perfect timing for #UKFungusDay, we learnt and recorded lots of interesting Fungi on yesterday’s Fascinating Fungus event. Just look at that gorgeous Magpie Inkcap! #RareMalvernsWildlife #HLF #Fungi #Mushrooms #wildlife

What a privilege to spend a morning seeing birds up close and learning about the practicalities and science of bird ringing. Huge thanks to the experts for sharing with our Rare Species project. The rump of that nuthatch was a stunning surprise! #RareMalvernsWildlife #Birds #HLF

Training members of Cradley and Storridge Parish Council’s Environment Working Group to search and identify dormouse nibbled nuts across the parish. Guess what we found?! A #dormouse nibbled nut! A great new record for the coppice. Let’s get hunting for more! #HLF #Wildlife

Lovely, if a little soggy, morning surveying for #dormice at Worcs Wildlife Trust Blackhouse Wood reserve. 11 nests found in nest boxes and 1 adult, male dormouse weighing 24g. We had Woodmouse and a Yellow necked too – all great mammal records for the area #RareMalvernsWildlife #HLF

With the cold weather the birds are flocking to garden feeders. Here's some photos from our Winter Bird event Suckley Primary School. Lots of bird watching and lots of mess making orange fat ball feeders! #HLF #birds #malvernswildlife

Learning all about surveying for the jewel-like Noble Chafer beetle on our recent training workshops. A good eye for spotting suitable tree nooks and hollows, a long-handled ice cream spoon and a love of droppings (aka frass) is all you need! #biologicalrecording #hlf

Brilliant morning with Worcestershire Wildlife Student Volunteer Group. Learning all about surveying for dormice and other mammals. Blackhouse Woods was stunning in the glorious sun, and we made over 22 biological records (including spotting some gorgeous brimstone butterflies)
