Many thanks to everyone who came to Rhoose Point today! We had over 150 species on the whiteboard, with many more records still to come in.

The arable margins at the farm we have been advising on in the Vale of Glamorgan are looking their best at the moment. Up to 6-8m wide of seed producing arable annuals such as Fat Hen to help support the local population of Yellowhammer and other farmland birds and insects.

All packed and ready for the Vale of Glamorgan Agricultural Show tomorrow at Penllyn Estate! Come visit our Vale Nature Partnership Restore the Thaw Landscape and #GreatGlamorganWay stands, learn more about the Vale Nature Partnership and find out ways how you can take action for #ValeNature 🐾🌿🦔🐦

Last week saw the reintroduction of Water Voles to the River Thaw in the Vale of Glamorgan thanks to a partnership between INCC WildlifeTrustSWWales 🦡🐬 SWERT Restore the Thaw Landscape & Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru | Natural Resources Wales. The project follows years of habitat restoration and mink control. Huge thank you to the local landowner.

Apologies to arachnaphobes, but it's been a spidery week! #RecordOfTheWeek today is Anyphaena numida, found in Penarth by Tegwyn Davies. This is the first Welsh record for the spider, which arrived in the UK in 2017. Thanks for the record & pics, submitted via the LERC Wales App.
