Students were out at lunchtime today learning about the new nest boxes that have been put up for swifts. We will be eagerly looking out for signs of activity as we get further into spring. #nature #wildlife #naturefriendlyschools #swifts

Curious to discover the inhabitants of this hideaway students set out the camera trap. They didn't discover the inhabitants but did capture footage of a fox and a badger! #wildlifefriendlyschools #nature #wildlife

During the winter students planted 2 wild cherry trees to aid biodiversity. Both are looking very healthy! #nature #biodiversity #naturefriendlyschools #naturegarden

The thick snow has given us a real insight as to just how busy our wonderful orchard is with wildlife. We've seen footprints of muntjac, foxes and, in the case of the photo, badgers 😊. #nature #wildlife #biodiversity #NatureFriendlySchools #badgers

Many different types of footprints around the pond today including muntjac, fox and badger prints. A little bit of icebreaking and hopefully they will be able to access the water tonight. #nature #wildlife #naturefriendlyschools #snow #biodiversity

We're very lucky to have hedgehogs on campus as their population is in sharp decline. Carefully checking bonfires before lighting them can prove a small but important action in keeping them safe. #hedgehogs #hedgehog #nature #wildlife #NatureFriendlySchools

Help wildlife in hot weather! Keep your watering stations, ponds and bird baths topped up with water, and let some of your garden grow wild to provide shade for the animals. ☀️💦

A bowl or two of water left out at this time of year can be a life saver for animals especially with the current heatwave. It only takes a minute! A small action can make a big difference. #heatwave #nature #wildlife #water #NatureFriendlySchools
