The team will continue to feed four times a day and have introduced small amounts of finely filleted fish. The little one is now nearly twice its hatch weight and doing really well! 🥰

🌿 Working together for wildlife!

We've teamed up with the Waterlife Recovery Trust to install a specialist monitoring raft along the River Windrush here at Birdland which will help monitor activity from invasive American mink. 🌊

Our role is to provide a safe location for the raft on our land, regularly monitor it, and record any wildlife activity we find. Every observation helps build a clearer picture of what's happening along the river and supports important conservation work. 💚

Take a look behind the scenes at yesterday's installation! 📸
