Under threat by Mayfield Market Towns. Welcome to the Low Weald Wildlife Blog. My name is Tom Simon and I live in Church Lane and have been in Twineham for roughly 20 years. I work in the environmental conservation field and have carried out surveys for nature organisations for many years. So with this experience already in the bank so to speak, the day before the first walk I found a male Peregrine perched on a pylon looking over Twineham Place Farm. So I think great! This is building well and so I take...

Deep into Spring | Low Weald Wildlife
http://low-weald-wildlife.co.uk/deep-into-spring
Under threat by Mayfield Market Towns. Deep into Spring now and the air is thick with bird song. One of the oddest songs you’ll hear is that of the Lapwing. You really have to hear it because it’s very nearly indescribable, but if you imagine someone playing a violin with a tiny lightning bolt then you’re halfway there and have a VERY good imagination! Walking around this area and I can hear many summer visitors: Chiffchaff, Willow Warbler and Blackcap to name a few. That’s probably about it for now....

I became Chief Executive of the Sussex Wildlife Trust in early 2006 after having worked here for about 15 years. The views expressed in this blog are my own, although I do not envisage saying anything that will counter the aims and objectives of the Trust - I wouldn't be working here otherwise! Wednesday, 24 September 2014. Re-wilding – an idea finding its time? In 1995 Bill Jenman and I wrote an article called “ A Natural Method of Conserving Biodiversity in Britain”.

Insects! A little journey of discovery. | Low Weald Wildlife
http://low-weald-wildlife.co.uk/insects-a-little-journey-of-discovery
Under threat by Mayfield Market Towns. A little journey of discovery. I apologise for it being such a long time since the last blog. Getting all excited about breeding Lapwing must have really taken it out of me! News on that front is that none of the 4 birds are there any more! It is a bit annoying not to be able to say definitively what happened to the chicks but we definitely know that a pair of Lapwing. Raised 2 chicks that left the nest so it was all looking positive the last time I saw them. Finall...

Under threat by Mayfield Market Towns. Barn Owl Success Story! The following is the story of what has been happening inside this unassuming, triangular box in a tree in our local patch. Our story begins a little while ago, early August to be precise, when I was preparing to write the last blog. I went out for a walk around this area to look for things, mainly butterflies. Splatty Barn Owl droppings. So began what has turned into almost an unofficial monitoring of this Barn Owl box and here’s what happened.

Bluebells, warblers, hairy caterpillars and spiny things! | Low Weald Wildlife
http://low-weald-wildlife.co.uk/blog-2
Under threat by Mayfield Market Towns. Bluebells, warblers, hairy caterpillars and spiny things! I think in the last blog I was going to say something about Bluebells. Well, the Common Bluebells Latin name is. They aren’t just found in woodland; in fact I have found them in heathland. A threat to Common Bluebells is the introduced Spanish Bluebell. And what they do is interbreed and create a hybrid version with the Common Bluebell. For further information consult a book there’s lot’s around! The other wa...
