We are getting Marsh Lousewort establishing in our created fen habitat @nosterfieldnr.bsky.social at last. We'll have to deter the deer from taking all the seed for a while yet. @judywebb.bsky.social

Excellent day at @nosterfieldnr.bsky.social managed by the Lower Ure Conversation Trust. Lovely people to chat to and plenty of birds including this Red Necked Phalarope spinning away. (I need a better camera!)

Analysis of quadrat data shows fen-meadow at Flasks Lake has +/- equal floristic similarities to 3 closely-related NVC plant communities (M22 Blunt-flowered Rush fen-meadow, M24a Hemp Agrimony subcommunity of Purple Moor-grass fen and S24 species-rich reedfen). V promising for such young habitat.

Planting of this marginal fen zone at the @nosterfieldnr.bsky.social reedbed began in February 2023. It's maturing well, showing that good quality wetland habitat can be established relatively quickly. Some management of reedmace is needed.
