Moving martens: volunteers needed to keep track of these elusive mustelids
The Forest of Dean’s pine martens have their sights set on new horizons, and Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust are on the lookout for new volunteers to track their movements.
Spiral wrack
This brown seaweed lives high up on rocky shores, just below the high water mark. Its blades are usually twisted, giving it the name Spiral Wrack.
Warty venus
This bumpy shell lives up to its name and lives partly buried in the seabed along the west coast of Great Britain.
Channelled wrack
This yellow-brown seaweed grows in tufts at the very top of rocky shores. Its fronds curls at the sides, creating the channel that gives Chanelled Wrack its name.
Crack willow
So-named because its gnarled trunk can split as it grows, the Crack willow can be seen along riverbanks, around lakes and in wet woodlands. Like other willows, it produces catkins in spring.
The who’s who of poo (Warning: may contain traces of poo)
Now that you are familiar with mustelids, and hopefully whizzed through a brief history of nearly everything pine marten in our previous blogs, its time to get down to the exciting stuff…poo.
Bladder wrack
This brown seaweed lives in the mid shore and looks a bit like bubble wrap with the distinctive air bladders that give it its name.
