Last call to apply for a CENTA Research Placement with me, Kate Mathers & Paul Wood. It will involve sampling #sediment #ponds & to see invertebrate recovery after sedimentation. Deadline is 21st May - contact me on [email protected] or apply here centa.ac.uk/centa-research…

Sayers Black Pit. The first pond restored by NorfolkPondsProject way back in 2011. It had its highest ever water levels this year as seen by the high water line in this photo. Plants are coming up tho & it is already a riot of bird life in the middle of an arable field

The many jaws & proboscis of #pond #insects when vertebrate predators are absent

Nothing better than finding a good looking #pond on a walk on #holiday in #Anglesey. Even snapped a #damselfly chilling on the marginal vegetation.

Did you spot this New Scientist article by our CEO Jeremy Biggs_FHT and Technical Director Penny Williams? They urge us to pay more attention to the smallest freshwater habitats, which could help us reverse the decline in freshwater biodiversity: newscientist.com/article/mg2623…

A great time presenting at #2024SFS showcasing my work on the ecological responses to river restoration in the UK. Thank you to SFS Students Freshwater Science for allowing me to share my work with your members #rivers #restoration #ecology #freshwater

Awesome to present my PhD research on #sediment #ponds and their #biodiversity value within an #agricultural landscape #sfs24 Freshwater Science. If anyone missed or have an additional questions come find me or drop me a message! 🪲

What is the most important but neglected farmland habitat? A pond takes up minimal space in a field but massively supports almost every living thing for miles around. Water is precious. Ponds are precious.

Had a lovely day yesterday with David Whitfield pretending I'm a geomorphologist & appreciating the Peak District views! 🏞️

📢 We are now inviting proposals for talks and posters for the conference: 'Ponds and pondscapes for biodiversity, climate and people', organised by #PONDERFUL and EPCN. Conference themes and abstract submissions 👉bit.ly/PondConference…

Super-hectic day with Prof Carl Sayer Helen Greaves NorfolkPondsProject setting-up the Pond Restoration and Science course. It’s a sell-out too! #EcologyTraining #Ponds

This afternoons Pond Restoration and Science field visit looking at a landscape approach to pond restoration. #EcologyTraining #Ponds Helen Greaves Prof Carl Sayer NorfolkPondsProject

Straight into day 2 of our ponds course with a short group based workshop on restoring various types of ponds across a farm. #EcologyTraining #Ponds

An inspiring 2 days learning about pond restoration, creation and resurrection. 💧🐸🐝 Ponds really are such a huge hit for biodiversity! With thanks to Prof Carl Sayer Helen Greaves NorfolkPondsProject Freshwater Biological Association (FBA)

Two #norfolk legends more so than the #BlackShuck Prof Carl Sayer Helen Greaves. I learnt about pond creation & restoration across 2-days with Carl, Helen, Freshwater Biological Association (FBA) & NorfolkPondsProject Also, a massive shoutout to Ponderful & Freshwater Habitats Trust for their awesome work as well!

The Bodham pre-Alps, North Norfolk. Only 99 crazy people have summited the Horn of Bodham without oxygen, including myself yesterday. Early adventurers employed shire horses to get to camp 2, but modern equipment has made for equine-free climbs. Crazy days.

Deadline this Friday!

Guess who's back, back again! #hereford #sediment #ponds in full bloom from a recently ressurected pond to a pond buzzing with house martins. These hightlights the importance of #sediment #ponds as #ecological habitats in the #agricultural #landscape

Narrow clawed crayfish invasions are likely to spread across most of Europe but some range contractions in areas experiencing high future temps. Lovely paper led bh MSc student/incoming Faculty of Biological Sciences PhD James Hodson, with Simone Guareschi & Tomasso link.springer.com/article/10.100…
