The Wymondham Walkers enjoyed a stroll round the Lizard and the Silfield Nature Reserve tonight. So lucky to have this green space to wander round and enjoy.

We've been contacted by a walker whose dog jumped in the shallow water shown in the photo, in the Wades Pit area, and was injured quite badly on something sharp. Needed a lot of veterinary treatment :-(

The Wades Pit land is to the left hand side of the wooded, sunken, public footpath (Lizard Lane) as you walk towards the top of Right Up Lane where the A11 bridge is to the left and the new Silfield development is opposite.

Please note the Wades Pit area is NOT owned or managed by the Lizard charity.

Please take care when out walking, we really don't want to hear of any more animals - or humans - being injured ❤️

For info - glass found on the bottom path of the 9 acres - please take care. Thanks to walker Rachel for letting us know...

We’ve recently found a number of disposable BBQs left on the Lizard land, so we’d like to kindly ask everyone to please not light fires or use disposable BBQs while visiting.

With the ongoing hot and dry conditions, the risk of fire is particularly high. A fire could spread very quickly and put our wildlife, habitats and nearby homes at serious risk.

We completely understand that people want to enjoy the outdoors, but we’d really appreciate everyone’s help in keeping the land and our local community safe.

Thank you for your cooperation and for helping us protect the Lizard.

Tomorrow (Saturday 8th August) is our August volunteer morning and it looks to be a very lovely one weather wise 🌞.

We have the rest of the orchard 🍎to cut and rake and extend to incorporate up and around the postbox.

Please bring gloves and anything else you feel you need by way of sun protection. Meeting in the orchard at 10am finishing around 12 noon with refreshments about 11am 🍵.

This Saturday (13th) is our June volunteer morning. Despite there being people away on holiday and RHS visitors to Browick Road Orchard on the same morning we are still going ahead, so if you fancy a few light tasks and a brew do come along.

We will be here in the long grass of the orchard from 10-12. Please bring suitable clothing (who knows what the weather has in store) and a pair of gloves.

We think these caterpillars may be small eggar moths? Once they were common but are now scarcer, due mainly to the gradual destruction of their favourite habitat, hedgerows. They do have colonies in Norfolk. The adults, which fly in February and March, are seldom seen, but the larvae can be found in silken webs on the foodplant, hawthorn and blackthorn.

Alternatively, they might be ermine moth caterpillars, which also live in webs on blackthorn and are not as scarce.

Whatever species they are it is good to see the Lizard's hedgerows supporting them.

Trustee Jeannie says "Hope you are well and ready for another volunteer morning on the Lizard (Saturday 9th May) - 10.00-12.00). It looks to be slightly warmer and sunny so come and admire all the blossom and have a cuppa.

Jobs to do include cutting/ digging out the blackthorn* around the oak where the tower used to be and attempting to dig out the triffid thistles around the benches.

Please bring your gloves and if you have a spade/fork extras would be useful.

Looking forward to seeing you on Saturday."

(*note: no hedgerows/bird nesting areas will be touched)

In bird news, Trustee John saw four cranes fly over the Lizard on Monday and he heard a turtle dove singing by the pond on the three acres. Summer is well on the way 🌞

Do you have any photos of birds on the Lizard/Oxford to share in the comments?👇👇👇
