This Poplar Hawk Moth was seen resting on the side of our visitor centre a couple of weeks ago.
This is the UK's most common hawk moth species and is easily identifiable by its resemblance to a dead leaf. These large moths only live for a couple of weeks as adults and do not feed during this time, as they lack a functional proboscis. Instead, they rely on fat reserves they built up as caterpillars.

Help us to prevent grass fires at our Country Parks.
With this dry weather the grass is very flammable at the moment so it is especially important that we are extra careful.

Please make sure that you dispose of ci******es and other smoking materials responsibly. Make sure they're fully extinguished and cool before placing them in a bin.
Also as a reminder we don't allow BBQs on sites for this reason as well.

If you do spot a fire please call 999 immediate to alert the fire services.

Thank you all for your help with this.
