Watch to the end... if you dare!!!

The resident grey heron of Heal Somerset has been getting into the Halloween spirit 🎃, giving us all a fright by ghoulishly staring straight into the trail cam... and into our souls 👻

Happy Halloween from us and all of the wonderful creatures of Heal Somerset! We hope you have a great weekend 💜

It’s Halloween week 🎃 so what better time to spotlight the night-time residents of Heal Somerset? 🦇 Did you know we have 17 bat species using the site? 🤩

Pictured are 'our' Lesser horseshoe bats, who roost in the boiler room on the side of our farmhouse. Before heading out for the night, they do something called 'light sampling', flying loops around the roost entrance to check whether it’s dark enough to leave safely. If it’s still too light, they hang upside down a bit longer and wait 🌙

These photos were taken by one of our talented volunteers using red light filters so as not to disturb them ❤️

Grab your wellies 🥾 The wetlands are calling 💧🦫

The damper months are officially in motion...and guess what that means? The wetland tours are back and better than ever!

Come and see Heal Somerset’s water in full flow on a guided walk and talk with our Rewilding Ranger Dan Hill. You’ll see how dams, ponds, scrapes and more shape the way water moves through the landscape and how beavers and people can work together to create richer habitats, cleaner water and climate-resilient ecosystems.

Starting from Saturday 7 November, with multiple dates and times available. Book your spot here 🎟️ 🔗: https://www.tickettailor.com/events/healrewilding/1979815

These magical, misty mornings at Heal Somerset are ushering in the spooky season 🌫️👻

The fields glitter with silvery dew and cobwebs twinkle with beaded droplets 🕸️ It’s hushed, still and a little bit eerie... What could be lurking in the mist?

Well, there is a little someone in the third picture 🪽 Can you spot them? Look closely... and let us know in the comments!

This made our day! 💜 It was a joy to have the Phoenix group with us last week.

The group joined us to learn about beavers and help build leaky dams for our wild-living residents 🦫

They were fantastic and we can't wait to welcome them back in the spring!

That’s a wrap on our twilight beaver watch evenings! ✨🦫

Over the past few months, small groups have joined us at the water’s edge for a magical evening at the beaver wetlands. Last week, we held our final twilight beaver watch of this year!

But it wasn’t only about the beavers... We were also treated to GLORIOUS sunsets 🌅 and as day turned to night, the whole landscape came to life. Barn owl, grey heron, great spotted woodpecker, hare, egret, kestrel...the list goes on! Oh and of course our Tamworth pigs.

Every tour was fully booked, so thank you to everyone who joined us. The sightings were special, yet it was sharing the quiet of dusk by the water together that we’ll remember most.

Didn’t manage to book one? Good news - they’ll be back in spring! Dates are coming soon and our Friends of Heal will be the first to know. Find out how to become a Friend of Heal here: https://www.healrewilding.org.uk/friends-of-heal 🔗💜

An otter takes charge and a heron leaves screeching... a pig blows bubbles (we have questions)... a beaver gets up close and personal... and a handsome kingfisher shows off his best side... There have definitely been some interesting interactions caught at Heal Somerset of late!
