A great day ouy on @rspb.bsky.social's Springwell Farm as part of @iucn-uk-peat.bsky.social #PeatConf25 looking at peatland restoration of old cutting site, forest to bog, haggs and gullies and drains. Great learning experience!

At this point, I did not know that I was about to see a digger in action! Challenging terrain, wet bog, abundance of sphagnum and sundews. A lovely site! The site was really wet (and so are my socks) but the summer has been dry like most of the UK. It's amazing how quickly peatlands re-wet after it's rained for a few weeks and how much they change in appearance. A sundew looking like an alien, out of this world creature.
