Say cheese!
Throughout June and July, our reserve team monitored the numbers of predators on-site, through camera traps.
These cameras were placed around the woodland, secret swamp, saline lagoon and limestone lake. This work plays a vital role in the management of the Castle Espie reserve.
In June, the team were delighted to catch a glimpse of this little fox family (see video below).
