Warden Gavin took this lovely close-up footage of a grasshopper warbler reeling in the mist at Carlton Marshes this week. A small summer migrant which travels from Africa to breed in the reedbeds of the UK. Rarely seen but given away by its insect like trilling call; the movement of the head during calling can make it tricky to pinpoint the exact location of singing perch.

Our team of conservation grazing ‘Belties’ were moved back onto Carlton Marshes from their winter grazing field this week. Belted Galloway cattle are a traditional Scottish breed and are perfected adapted to grazing the wetland marshes.

Our woodland reserves are looking marvellous, with wildflowers galore and bluebells just starting to look their best. We recommend visiting in the next week or two, if you travel by car please park responsibly in the allocated car parks and not on verges or driveways.

These amazing creatures were discovered at a recent pond dipping event at Redgrave & Lopham Fen. The tray below contains caddis fly larvae, a damselfly larvae, a couple of snails and a huge water stick insect.

Our brilliant team of volunteers installed new benches at Carlton Marshes this week, perfect for visitors to relax and take in the wildlife.

Cuckoos arrived back at Redgrave & Lopham Fen this week. Sharon Broadley, a local photographer, was lucky enough to get these early morning shots, thanks Sharon!

Warden Gavin spotted his first cuckooflower at Carlton this year. Also known as 'lady's-smock', cuckooflower blooms from April to June and is said to coincide with the arrival of the first cuckoo - a sure sign that spring has arrived.

This distinctive moth with scalloped edges and white lines is a herald moth, spotted at Church Farm by warden Dan.
