  6. Team breeds rare #beetle for first time bbc.com/news/articles/cx2v2rwp

    "Conservationists have celebrated breeding one of England's rarest #insects in captivity for the first time. The #SpeciesRecoveryTrust led the project to successfully breed the endangered #HeathTigerBeetle at a special artificial habitat near Winchester. They hope to eventually reintroduce the insects back into their #heathland homes... The #beetles have been badly affected by the loss of lowland heathland."

    "A group of artists are visiting a #heathland rewilding site to capture its changing flora, fauna and landscape.

    "Thirty artists from The Society of Wildlife Artists (SWLA) will spend time this year at The Massingham Heath Project in west Norfolk.

    "Half of the land at the 2,500-acre site (1,000 hectares) is being re-wilded to benefit nature, while half is used for conventional agriculture.

    "An exhibition and book documenting how the landscape changes throughout the seasons are being produced.

    "Land owner Oliver Birkbeck said: 'They're looking at the health as well as the agricultural landscape, the farm-scape because it is all part of the same story.'

    "He described the artists as 'rock stars' and said he was so proud for them to visit the site - which is east of King's Lynn and Sandringham.

    " 'The job of the natural world is to in some way elevate us from the boring imperatives of our daily lives. That's also the job of the artist. So this is a marriage of the two which I think is a really beautiful thing,' he added."

  15. Good to get out onto the Pebblehead Heaths this morning where, after hearing a Dartford Warbler and a bit of patience, I was fortunate to watch two chasing ach other about. Onto #Exmouth for a look around the #Exe and my first Brent Goose of the season.

  19. Local sandpit that is one of the best nearby #bee nesting habitats is looking a bit damp at the moment! (That pond in the middle is normally almost ephemeral and about a third that size at this time of year). On the plus side, gives the nesting bank a bit of protection from dirt bikes. Hoping to see good species later in spring - not much active yet. #Heathland #Pollinators #SolitaryBees
