ASLOW WORM SURVEYS ugust 2023 -
I have been surveying for slow worms at an Avon Wildlife Trust nature reserve for the past 5 years, this article outlines the survey methodology and results, and includes information on the ecology of slow worms. These beautiful creatures are generally most active in the spring and early autumn, so September/October will be a good time to look for them.

June 2023 - ARTICLE ON NATIONAL PLANT MONITORING SURVEY (NPMS)
Here's an article on my involvement in this annual botanical survey.
This is a fantastic project that is run by Plantlife. I'd highly recommend
it to people who are looking to improve their botanical skills. Here is a
photo of one of the species seen during the saltmarsh surveys -
sea-lavender.
