A ~sleek~ photo of the week by Adam Wright 👏
A summer visitor all the way from Africa, the common tern is a seriously impressive bird (and we're not just saying that because of our logo 😉)
Its long tail streamers have even earned it the nickname 'sea-swallow' 😯
Flowers you can spot right now in churchyards 😲
Did you know that we survey around 30 churchyards a year? We give advice on how to best manage these beautiful remnants of ancient grassland for both people and wildlife 🧠
We couldn't do it without our brilliant team of volunteer churchyard surveyors! 🫶
When we promote our #30DaysWild campaign each year, it feels like I'm a kid again at your door with my bike, asking if you want to come out and play 😅
Do you... want...to come out and play? 🥺👉👈
The world outside awaits! It's full of green, and wonder, and MAGIC 🧙♂️
Sign up to receive a FREE pack of inspiration and resources to help you connect with nature every day next month (and maybe rediscover a little of that childhood sense of wonder along the way 🤷)

~make this June, your most outdoorsy yet!~
A hare highway! 🐇
Thank you to Mark Foster for this striking photo of the week 👏
May is a prime time for little leverets, with females typically producing 2–4, often having up to 3–4 litters per year! Lot's of speedy bundles of bunnies on the move 💨
Corr! Look at this 👀
It's a lime hawk-moth perched prettily on a green-winged orchid 🤌
These impressive moths are on the wing from May to July on warm nights. It stays looking this snatched by literally NEVER feeding 😵😭
Like some other moth species, it will only live for a couple of days to reproduce, surviving entirely on energy reserves stored during its very hungry caterpillar stage (get this girl a snack, stat!) 🐛

We're feeling pretty chuffed to be turning 100 alongside this legend 🫶
His curiosity has shaped how generations see the natural world, sparking a sense of wonder that’s IMPOSSIBLE to shake! For so many of us, it’s exactly what led us into conservation today 🥹
From all of us at NWT, thank you for continuing to inspire us and for your ongoing support as our President Emeritus (we couldn't be prouder!). Happy birthday, Sir David! 🎂
Check out our new signage at Holme! ✨
We also have a whopping 25 volunteers who will help protect our vulnerable beach-nesting birds by patrolling the beach, talking to members of the public and recording disturbance. GO TEAM! 💪

The Northern Wheatear! 😲
Our founder, Sydney Long's favourite bird 💚
The name wheatear is derived from the Old English for 'white' (wheat) and 'arse' (ear), referring to their white rump of course!
Thanks Adam Spruce for our photo of the week 📸👏
Best. Birthday. Ever. 🍦
Ronaldo Ices have produced a special sorbet just for us, to celebrate our centenary 😱😋
The new 'mixed berries and champagne' flavour is available now at our visitor centres - plus, it's vegan! Turning 100 has never tasted so sweet 🙌
Fancy raising a small army of grasshoppers? Now’s your chance! 😱
We're once again joining forces with Citizen Zoo to help return the large marsh grasshopper to Norfolk and beyond, but we need your help 🙏
We’re calling out for budding conservationists to carefully rear a band of baby hoppers to adulthood, ready to be released into the wild later this summer! 💪
Tempted? Go on...have a little look 👇

Our Youth Forum met Chris Packham at our panel event Wednesday! 😯
The future of Norfolk's nature is in knowledgeable, curious, and fiercely caring hands 🌱

The UK's only green butterfly - and it's a stunner 😍
Green hairstreaks nearly always keep their wings closed for camouflage, but the tops are actually brown!
Spring is the best time to see them, in grasslands and woodland rides. They're super small and easy to miss, so keep your eyes peeled 👀🍊
