Thursday night also gave us our best count of Glow Worms for the year with eight individuals found. The eery glow is quite something when you are out on the marsh at night! Our reserve is one of the best places in Essex to encounter this funky beetle. Hopefully we should be able to find some on our up and coming Bat and Moth Night walks that happen each Friday during September. There are still places but you will need to book so give us a call on 01708 899 850

Hi Howard, I was on a dusk walk last month and myself and a few others saw what must have been at least a hundred glowing in the bushes by the shooting butts, was quite a sight. My partner saw one and whilst looking at it, the bushes literally came alive like someone had turned christmas lights on. ;-)
Don't know my tits from my elbow.
