Dip Dip Hooray!

Students are often actively involved in surveying for wildlife on our sprawling estate, and in the glorious sunshine yesterday EACM and EDCM students followed tutor Julia out to a biodiversity hotspot - Clump Pond.

Neatly buffered from surrounding agricultural fields by Farmer's Wood, it is surprising what can be found in the dark, murky depth of your average farm pond. So, armed with nets and trays, these are what are intrepid students found in their pond dipping adventure.......see if you can name the species - (answers below)





Logan Freer was the brave animal handler featured in these pictures!

Lauren Hutchings and David Naylor make a record of what they have found.


All these records can be added to our annual biodiversity report, happy days.

(Answers from top: Male smooth newt x2; dragonfly nymph; great diving beetle).
