Hot off the press! The new 2018 LDV calendar is now available at £6.99 –
available from the NNR base or can be posted (no extra cost). As per the last
two years, this calendar has been produced by the Friends of the Lower Derwent
Valley (FoLDV), with proceeds from the sales going towards conservation projects
across the reserve. With thanks to the sales from the previous year’s
calendars, along with log and card sales, and a kind donation, two new tern
rafts were purchased earlier in the year from Green Future Building, in time for the breeding
season. Only a day after being in situ, a pair of Common Terns had already
found them, checking out both the one at Bank Island and the one on the pool at
Wheldrake, before choosing the latter. The pair went on to raise two chicks,
whilst a second pair also laid eggs – encouraging signs for colonisation of the
site. Many thanks to everyone who has supported the ‘Friends’ and helped make
this possible through generous donations. Please get in touch with us on here or via our Facebook page if you'd like to purchase one - thank you.
