Irthlingborogh surveying

The wildlife trust are looking to purchase a new nature reserve in the nene valley next to Rushden and Diamonds Stadium. It's a massive area and would probably be their biggest reserve in northants. It is an old gravel extraction area and is a bit abused at the moment. The litter and behaviour from the fishermen here is attrocious, makes me feel a little ashamed.

We were on a water beetle and bug survey and are starting to build a big list of species. It is not really the right time of year but it was good to understand the site a little better and take a few photos
