Ffern: A Water Vole and Her Pond follows the life of Ffern, a water vole living in a small Welsh pond.

Created by wildlife filmmaker Natalie Clements , the film takes a character-led approach to conservation storytelling, inviting audiences to see the world from the perspective of one small animal and the fragile habitat that supports her.

Once widespread across Britain, water vole populations have suffered significant declines due to habitat loss and predation. Conservation projects and habitat restoration are now helping to support their recovery in parts of the UK.

Through beautiful natural history footage and an intimate storytelling style, Ffern: A Water Vole and Her Pond celebrates the resilience of wildlife and the people working to protect it.

Ffern is available to watch on YouTube now 👇 www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6SZlgYatVw

Powered by image-stabilising technology, the Opticron Imagic IS binoculars are perfect for appreciating distant wildlife in fine detail without the use of a tripod or mount.

By electronically and mechanically cancelling out “shake” caused by the natural rhythm of your body, Imagic IS binoculars deliver measurably sharper images compared to non-stabilised models allowing you to see more detail with greater accuracy.

Did you know the Crested Tit is one of the UK's rarest tit species?

Although widespread across mainland Europe, the Crested Tit is far more difficult to see here in the UK. The reason for this is their isolated distribution. These small, charismatic birds are confined to northern Scotlands ancient Caledonian pine forests and Scots pine plantations.

Although they are often hard to locate as they rapidly move through tall pines in search of food, during winter they will come to bird feeders, offering a much better view of their striking deep red eyes and incredible crest!

The Banded Demoiselle is a striking damselfly usually first seen as a flash of metallic blue. Males have the thicker bands on their wings, while females lack these bands and are iridescent green instead. First recorded in Scotland in 2002, the species is now common throughout the UK.

They are usually on the wing from May to August but can sometimes be seen in early September too. Look for them along slow-moving streams and rivers, with overhanging vegetation to perch on.
