Matt makes a poignant and interesting point about the abandoned comb. It indicates that wild honeybees cannot find suitable sites to create new colonies in. Another indicator that our environment is degraded. Two examples spring to mind. Locally, incomers with limited / no ecological knowledge, contracted negligent tree surgeons who cut down a beautiful veteran Chestnut tree in Wardour (Dorset), not too many years ago. This act of vandalism, robbed this landscape of a wild honeybee site. At a national level, the HS2 project is clear-felling many ancient woodlands, again with the loss of sites. We are duped into believing that replacement, replanting programs will suffice - this is a lie. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/587789be1b631bfb24229b9b/1589200815176-D58RONIZSJFPO0MVDBWJ/DSCN1672.JPG The Nature Blog - Swarm 2, The Sequel....

The expectation was that within a 12-36 hour window the swarm would walk up the hive to security, safety and warmth. It didn’t! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/587789be1b631bfb24229b9b/1557849193389-3GU081TRMU1XNJPL4G4N/IMG_1536.JPG The Nature Blog - Do we ever get this right? 36 hours after moving the swarm I returned to find this! The bees had started to build comb into the skep itself and hadn’t shifted upward, as expected. It was just so wrong! Another phone call to Matt. The decision was made to slice the new comb off, so I could fit the base plate on the new hive. The thinking - exposed, the hive woud probably survive the spring and summer, but would perish in the harsh weather of the winter. With the base plate fitted the swarm would be secure and protected.

Birds This is 5 star barn owl accommodation.... Barn owls suffer huge mortality rates and few owls survive more than 1 / 2 years. A period of high mortality is when owlets become mobile and begin to test their wings. Often they fall from their nest boxes and die. These boxes, conceived and designed by the BOCT, are close to 2 meters from floor to the entry / escape hole - so the owlet can only exit the box once it can properly fly. These nest boxes have reduced owlet mortality significantly. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/587789be1b631bfb24229b9b/1486324402202-MC554CSJKLGDBVWGML2P/image-asset.jpeg Birds This hunting stand enables the owl to hunt during cold winter nights, and do so without having to be on the wing. Hunting on the wing consumes energy & calories - the hunting stand helps conserve both and therefore aids survival. I often find droppings (never pellets) under the stands. There are currently 3 stands at Underhill Wood. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/587789be1b631bfb24229b9b/1498488388723-B70Z6U7XO0SXJN7Z1IPO/image-asset.jpeg Birds The pellets bagged, dated and ready for dispatch.... https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/587789be1b631bfb24229b9b/1499427266142-GYN1OSN3D4K4HNG9CALE/image-asset.jpeg Birds Grass cuttings being removed as part of the annual rotational cut - mid July 2017. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/587789be1b631bfb24229b9b/1506589873827-ZGR1BV13Y1ZGFC489NLE/IMG_1058.JPG Birds https://www.underhillwoodnaturereserve.com/butterflies-and-moths daily 0.75 2021-07-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/587789be1b631bfb24229b9b/1485688805822-M2V3Q6YH6TRFO6Q9CKZN/IMG_0542.JPG Invertebrates This is the largest butterfly / moth glade and measures 20 yards x 20 yards. Again, the layout of the glade follows a similar pattern - good shelter (from cold hostile winds) to the north, east & west, . The southern flank of this glade opens out onto a wide ride which runs east to west providing access for butterflies and moths. Late winter 2016 I mowed the first rotational cut - 1/3 of this glade is now short in length. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/587789be1b631bfb24229b9b/1500893764718-X2XD3BN0EJ67GEOVSGRU/image-asset.jpeg Invertebrates Buff Tip https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/587789be1b631bfb24229b9b/1500893796437-J0DPJCJS39RD8LU027AP/image-asset.jpeg Invertebrates Magpie https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/587789be1b631bfb24229b9b/1500893832936-KR49U7SLRS3YL9NSGYJZ/image-asset.jpeg Invertebrates This wonderful moth is called a Ghost Moth- this is the male.

There are 60 dormouse inspection tubes distributed across Underhill Wood. These are inspected 2x each summer season to detect the presence of Dormice. Dormice will readily use the tubes as summer nest sites. During their winter hibernation they retreat to the woodland, scrub or hedgerow floor where it is damp and cool - perfect conditions for hibernation. https://www.underhillwoodnaturereserve.com/camera-trap daily 0.75 2022-03-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/587789be1b631bfb24229b9b/1490180994957-61BIVJ2L6M3WZIQV3PY8/image-asset.jpeg Wildlife Images Magpie https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/587789be1b631bfb24229b9b/1490181033254-0YVYS8BF7AS8PATGDE1R/image-asset.jpeg Wildlife Images Buzzard https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/587789be1b631bfb24229b9b/1490599088914-8VM3X8EXXG6I75S5507D/image-asset.jpeg Wildlife Images Hare https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/587789be1b631bfb24229b9b/1491471081850-L2HBX09QIBZ5KZ3G14EX/image-asset.jpeg Wildlife Images Roe Buck https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/587789be1b631bfb24229b9b/1494247722903-LYFL70P5F3F7EKIWFPWN/image-asset.jpeg Wildlife Images Roe Doe https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/587789be1b631bfb24229b9b/1495290334923-YK7BDLG87DBNVAYY76AO/image-asset.jpeg Wildlife Images Kingfisher https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/587789be1b631bfb24229b9b/1496598420324-X738L4ZB3CLNBQS1Q17H/image-asset.jpeg Wildlife Images Bank Vole https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/587789be1b631bfb24229b9b/1499788330868-FG8ZI72XB1ST85FEZXOC/image-asset.jpeg Wildlife Images Swift at dawn https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/587789be1b631bfb24229b9b/1525674778846-WUU1NSL69AKPPJEBTEFS/03180069.jpg Wildlife Images Roe Doe https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/587789be1b631bfb24229b9b/1529066555572-K1AX7A3W4X3G70LFF3VT/05100075.JPG Wildlife Images Mallard https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/587789be1b631bfb24229b9b/1537353569152-G0SD5R9T0V2810ABYUX0/08260104.JPG Wildlife Images Hare https://www.underhillwoodnaturereserve.com/reptiles daily 0.75 2017-07-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/587789be1b631bfb24229b9b/1494860552752-YHP43GZS3C3XE50SS1VT/image-asset.jpeg Reptiles https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/587789be1b631bfb24229b9b/1499090213723-7ZJHWG26JBC6OEKZFCAW/image-asset.jpeg Reptiles Shed Grass Snake skin found on edges of lake late June 2017 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/587789be1b631bfb24229b9b/1499428248231-6WT81DK6M4A685TGRJNP/image-asset.jpeg Reptiles Creating snake friendly grass pile..... https://www.underhillwoodnaturereserve.com/bats daily 0.75 2021-03-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/587789be1b631bfb24229b9b/1500890655308-0YOM3FFFWTMNJ4EU74YM/image-asset.jpeg Bats https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/587789be1b631bfb24229b9b/1500892509814-2B8IS2P5CJW4BLGN2QJ2/image-asset.jpeg Bats Brown Long Eared https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/587789be1b631bfb24229b9b/1500892818083-VNF8C8XPT0NWD65N0YK0/image-asset.jpeg Bats Erecting the Triple High net https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/587789be1b631bfb24229b9b/1500893332427-52MLPFCVTCQYV4INZH78/image-asset.jpeg Bats https://www.underhillwoodnaturereserve.com/john-muir-award daily 0.75 2026-07-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/587789be1b631bfb24229b9b/1521474313020-0FPFVC6236QNXKLJP7RW/26479264_Unknown+copy.jpg The Conservation Award 2017 -

2025 - Water birds We all really enjoyed watching the sea birds in the hides. We used binoculars and telescopes to get a clos up view of the curlews, cormorants, ducks, guls, redshanks, geese and widgeoms. We observed the cormorants diving in and out the water - it was magical to watch! Looking at the birds we thought about migration and the travels of different species to warmer or colder climates. Birds such as the Brent Goose travels to winter in the UK from Siberia and Russia because it is so cold there. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/587789be1b631bfb24229b9b/ca1396af-ebd6-4037-8214-648dc83e13ae/DSC_0751_2.JPG The Conservation Award 2017 - 2025 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/587789be1b631bfb24229b9b/f75a26b7-6102-4bad-bb65-5d2f19700bf3/DSC_0769_2.JPG The Conservation Award 2017 - 2025 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/587789be1b631bfb24229b9b/815ccc83-e758-4835-81c2-856a7a1728f7/IMG20231203114820.jpg The Conservation Award 2017 - 2025 - Rewilding Ben Goldsmith has been rewilding the farm and the grass and landscape looks very different to the neighbouring farms. The grass at Cannwood is not as green and is bumpy. There are free ranging cows that turn over the soil as wild boar would have traditionally done. The colour of the grass is much more natural and allows native birds to have cover. There are no native green ground nesting birds. In the spring and summer there are amazing wildflower meadows that look beautiful and contain rare species. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/587789be1b631bfb24229b9b/98f02db5-84f9-4830-9854-b786d252af90/IMG20231203114648.jpg The Conservation Award 2017 - 2025 - First signs of beavers At the beginning of the river Frome the beavers have been making pathways to get to their dams and lodges as they only move in water. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/587789be1b631bfb24229b9b/0a567687-c6c9-47f2-8800-77ccb974aefc/IMG20231203115202.jpg The Conservation Award 2017 - 2025 - Nibbling!!!

These lovely creatures are breeding and their kittens will be part of an exciting project to introduce wildcats into the UK. Among other benefits the wildcats will help bird populations as they control pet cats due to their territorial nature. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/587789be1b631bfb24229b9b/220857af-9832-4bcd-b01b-e77579b455a3/6366DE0296934FF8AEA6A95439742C41.jpg The Conservation Award 2017 - 2025 - Goodbye and thank you.
