Decided today to see if I could get to 50 bird species on @EWTRoding. Four hours in and stuck on 49, about to give in, then a sudden burst of song fron a Cetti's Warbler. Great bird for the reserve and my half century up. Happy days! @EssexWildlife
YAH! Saw my first swifts of the year over @EWTRoding lake - a flock of 22 birds. Also, three singing Reed Warblers around lake.
It's #InsectWeek so I thought I'd share some photos I have taken at Roding. Comma(Polygonia c-album) butterfly, when closed the jagged outline of its wings looks like a withered leaf. If you would like to find out more how to support insects where you are bit.ly/2y1Cq0l
(3/3) You can report sightings to [email protected] or treealert.forestresearch.gov.uk Thank you for your understanding For further information: forestresearch.gov.uk/tools-and-reso…
(2/3) As we identify affected trees we may need to close off areas to prevent contact. We will have a professional contractor deal with the issue as soon as possible. If you see signs of oak processionary moth on the reserve please avoid the area.
(1/3) Oak Processionary Moth has been reported on the reserve. The caterpillars are pests of oak trees, and a hazard to human and animal health. Information posters have been put in our noticeboards to alert visitors. Staff are checking the reserve...
To mark our 1000th tweet, this was the glorious view this evening from twenty-two acres on @EWTRoding, over Loughton with Epping Forest beyond. The reserve was alive with song of warblers and thrushes, the call of woodpeckers and scream of swifts.
@Natures_Voice The peak of the Dawn Chorus at 5am this morning at @EWTRoding.
Bat bricks are old news after seeing these shots of a #dormouse at one of the Essex & Suffolk Dormouse Group monitoring locations in Suffolk. Landowner discovered it while moving the pile but all replaced and DM fine. @Mammal_Society @PTES @WildlifeTrusts @EssexWildlife
(2/2) Species rich meadows are often associated with a long history of having grazing animals who help encourage diversity of flowering plants by tackling more dominant species like grasses.
(1/2) Hi everyone The cows have now come back to the reserve. The herd are here to help manage the meadows as they have done for hundreds years past.
A species a day. Day 6. Stellaria holostea. Holostea from Greek for entire bone, relates to the brittle stem. Lance like leaves have rough edge. Its common name, Stitchwort, refers to its use as a herbal remedy to cure runners side pain. Seen at @EWTRoding @EssexFieldClub
Misunderstood by many, the adder is a shy, secretive reptile that prefers to be hidden in the undergrowth than out, confronting humans. 🐍 Read more about this fascinating reptile and where you can see it, here: bit.ly/2Qc2dte 🎥 Russell Savory
Following the latest advice from the UK Government to limit the spread of the COVID-19 virus, Essex Wildlife Trust is closing all of its Nature Discovery Centres to the public from tomorrow, Wednesday 18 March. essexwt.org.uk/news/our-lates… Thank you for your support.

It's #WorldWildlifeDay! Let's celebrate all our wonderful wildlife and biodiversity 💚 🎥 Russell Savory
Quick notice: Several of the river side meadows are flooded (again!). The peak flow has now passed but with the recent rain most of the reserve is still very wet underfoot. Wellies are advised if you plan on visiting over the next few days
One of our barn owl box residents is currently enjoying a quiet snooze💤💤 live stream here! bit.ly/39s1VGl #BarnOwlCam
Spotted this fox recently when walking around the reserve. Think I had just disturbed their afternoon nap!
