Fundraising Wildlife-watch in Aid of Ukraine – The Results!

On Sunday 3rd April – in aid of the people of Ukraine – the staff at Naturetrek kept a list of all the bird, mammal and butterfly species they saw and heard over the course of the day. In total, we recorded 121 species of birds (plus a long-staying Black Swan), which ranged from a diminutive Firecrest to a magnificent White-tailed Eagle. In addition, we found four species of butterfly (it was a cold, albeit sunny, day) and 10 species of mammal. We hope you kept a record too and we would be very keen to learn if you recorded any species that we did not. A full list of our sightings is copied below, please do let us know of any additions to the list and we will publish a full country-wide tally soon. 

The primary aim of the day, of course, was to raise funds in aid of the Ukrainian people affected by this terrible war. As of today (Tuesday 5th April), our ‘Just Giving’ page has received donations totalling £1,437 and we hope that will grow significantly over the coming week.

Thank you!
