Roborough Rewilders

Roborough Rewilders The two Roborough Fields make up 10acres of land in North Devon.

Here, we plan to create biodiveristy hotspot by building a dense mosaic of Devonbank hedgerows, wildflower meadows and pools for the benefit of local wildlife and the environment.

Yes, our cameras have been out for quite a long time, but it is nice to look back on all this lush green growth, and this is the first fawn that we have captured on our trail cameras, which is nice.
Interestingly, this middle gateway has remained green and lush throughout the summer. The pipe underneath has become blocked, so any water has backed up in the ditch behind, which just shows what a bit of ditch blocking can achieve. πŸ’šπŸ’¦πŸ€”

Just love the last photo, which incidentally was captured on trail camera back in June, when there was such a thing as green grass! 🌱
There were nearly 5000 photos on this trail camera card, thank goodness we hadn't set it to video! 🀣

With the desilting complete, the pond at Sandford Millennium Green is now filling up again. It will now offer lots more opportunities for a range of wildlife to move in, and we look forward to seeing the progress over the next few months and years, as it becomes established once more. πŸ’¦

Nick is currently working on a project at Sandford Green, where their wildlife pond has become silted up, and now needs to be desilted.

This poor mole is clearly struggling for food, it's above ground, and searching in the dried out basin of one of our ponds. Hopefully there were still a few scraps of food amongst what remained of the pond plants.
That was a good month ago, there's even less there now, and with the current heatwave, we are suspecting any water is probably long gone.πŸ™

We're taking a sneaky look into one of Jo & Paul's Swift boxes in today's post. Roborough has a growing colony of Swifts, thanks to natural nest holes, and installed Swift boxes, like this one.

This pair laid very late, with their first chick hatching on July 15th, but at least that means Roborough gets to enjoy their screeching and aerial displays for a few more weeks yet. We'd like to think that the adults take full advantage of any invertebrates that are flying in the skies above our fields! They certainly seem to be bringing back lots of food.πŸ–€
