The most successful form of ecological restoration known? Over the last decade we have pioneered the restoration of infilled #ghostponds as below @megwildflowers.bsky.social @timholtwilson.bsky.social
Many species caught in our final surveys of #crucians26. Can you name them?
In come the nets. What will we get? #crucians2026
Europe's golden fish! The #crucian carp #crucians2026
#Crucians26 saw us find 2 new wild #crucian carp populations as well as proving 3 more successful (surviving & recruiting) reintroductions. Thanks so much to a truly brilliant team. We are winning the battle to save the crucian carp in the #ponds of Norfolk, eastern England!
Come & do this brilliant pond restoration training course run by myself & Helen Greaves of @norfolkponds.bsky.social.

Another day searching for #crucian carp in Norfolk #ponds & small lakes. SUCCESS!!! One new unknown population found. #crucians2016
What eats what? One thing is certain tho! #Crucian carp & Great Crested #Newt live, breed & recruit together, in harmony, in small #ponds, especially plant-filled ones #crucians2026
