We’ve loved sharing news with the friends we’ve made here over the last 15 years. But many have disappeared, we’re not getting the reach, and so with heavy hearts we’re putting our X accounts into hibernation. Find us flourishing instead on new and improving habitats... 1/2

Our Potteric Carr visitor centre and nature reserve is closed today because of the weather warnings, and for the safety of our visitors and colleagues. We're open again on Tuesday. Stay safe out there #yorkshire❄️ (C) Adrian Gray

Spotted a few things around @YWTPottericCarr today. Comma caterpillar on Wych Elm, Trifid Bur-marigold, a mite gall on Yellow Loosestrife, and Knotgrass Leaf Beetle. Finding things you aren't looking for is a nice bonus for the day.

I've just set up monthly @BIOSCAN_UK trap at @YWTPottericCarr If the biting flies that were getting me whilst setting up, and the numbering the trap after only a few minutes, is anything to go by then I'll have hundreds or thousands of things to sift through tomorrow!

Spring rolls on. First Celery-leaved Buttercup of the year, and the Cuckooflower is perhaps at it's peak just now, as are the Marsh Marigolds. At @YWTPottericCarr Bluebells looking good. Certainly at peak Dandelion on the roads round me, some areas are more yellow than green!

They may be fairly common, but they're still cheery. You don't have to go far from the visitor centre/my office to see some flowers at @YWTPottericCarr

His vision for what Potteric Carr could be, significantly influenced the important part it now plays as a green urban oasis, which continues to expand. We will be forever grateful for his hard work and determination, and the legacy he leaves; he will be greatly missed!💚

Was checking a few things on @YWTPottericCarr today. Sheep in one field, ponies in another. Both on ex-arable land, but now reasonably interesting for wildlife (and continuing to get better). And first St George's mushroom of the year on a piece of relict habitat.

Blooming great news! Last autumn our Potteric Carr volunteers planted these colourful marsh marigolds, grown from locally sourced seeds. 💛 After a long wet winter, they’ve finally burst into bloom, serving up early season nectar for Potteric’s invertebrates - well done team! 👏
