Amy Robbins, one of our Equine lecturers, recently won the Teaching and Learning award at the Hampshire Education Awards! The ceremony celebrates different categories of educational professionals from all levels, so we are super proud! Well done, Amy from all of us at Sparsholt!
I found a turtle on Perranporth beach this morning - I think it’s a Loggerhead. I tried to get it back in the sea but to no avail. Luckily it was quickly rescued and I believe is on it’s way to Newquay aquarium- hopefully they’ll be able to release it. @CwallWildlife
This was to be a tweet praising @derbyshiredales for letting a beautiful meadow grow on a steep slope at Matlock's leisure centre. Yesterday at least 8 wildflower species; bumblebees; swifts overhead. Tonight all gone: mowed into lifeless 'neat & tidy'. Sad start to #30DaysWild
Bank Vole exploring its 3D world! feeding countless others no doubt, Kestrels, owls, stoats - All possible thanks to not firing up a fossil fuel powered strimmer/mower! Come on now...surely an easy win to be had! #NoMowMay @Sparsholt_Coll @hantshighways
IOW Cycle Path 23 Newport to Cowes. Sun am walk. In one 200m section saw a newly fledged group of blackcap chicks, whitethroat, a bank vole climbing in unmown verges, orchids(many) + first sighting of a red squirrel in England for years! Stunning! @Sparsholt_Coll @gifttonature
West facing hedge @Sparsholt_Coll catching the afternoon sun! Beautiful Demoiselle (F) Calopteryx virgo in mint condition quite frankly showing off! @BDSdragonflies
Nature can play an essential role in the fight against climate change. @CairngormsCo have an ambitious 200-year vision to restore and enhance the nature-rich landscapes of Cairngorms National Park, helping to safeguard a future for generations to come 👉 youtu.be/GWMhlEafK2I
House Martin and Sand Martin. They’re on their way.
Look at this little one 😍 Completing her nest with a few added touches this morning.
Very exciting news… 022 IS BACK!! He briefly dropped onto the livestream nest at 09:16am. Our team are out monitoring this morning and will keep you updated on any interactions with CJ7! How is this season going to unfold?! @DorsetBirdClub @ChrisGPackham @OspreyEurope
Make sure to use peat-free compost in your garden and help protect these amazing habitats! 💚 wildlifetrusts.org/actions/how-go…
It is very encouraging that Ospreys 022 and CJ7 have returned to Poole Harbour this spring. We very much hope that they will become the first Ospreys to rear chicks on the South Coast for more than 200 years.

Think I’ve just found 9 Small-flowered Tongue Orchids on the @Nomura green roof. What do you recon @Mike_Waller_ @BSBIbotany @fungi_flowers
Dark-edged Bee-fly collecting dust!! Females coat their eggs in dust or sand. This provides camouflage and adds weight to the eggs, making it easier to flick them towards solitary bee nests 😎
A lovely walk around the @Sparsholt_Coll estate today. Orange Tip, Holly Blue, Small Heath butterflies. Birds including Yellowhammer, Whitethroat, Garden Warbler, Reed Warbler, Sedge Warbler. Slow worm, Common Toad and a family of Bank Voles. Also, many signs of badgers!
A great addition to a walk through Salisbury this morning. A treecreeper relaying back and forth to a nest behind the cracked loose bark of a well managed old pollarded poplar tree. Perfectly adapted little bird, a tiny marvel of evolution! @hantsbirdnews @_BTO @Natures_Voice
Great week out with Countryside Management students @Sparsholt_Coll learning about the wonderful and everchanging Hampshire coastline. Also saw these little beauties @HantsCS @BSBIbotany @Hants_BIC @wildflower_hour
