Beckingham's ditches are proving to be real wildlife hotspots, with new species of plants and animals seen each summer,a s the project progresses.
A highlight for me this year has been the discovery of water violet hottonia palustris. This plant has a mainly easterly distribution (i.e. it's only usually found in the east of England) and is considered to be declining.
I'm so pleased that we could provide it with a home!
