We have been conducting moth surveys on campus since 2023Link opens in a new window and this year we are exploring a new site with the help of moth enthusiast Dan Hall (Teaching Fellow, School of Modern Languages and Cultures).

We have been conducting hedgehog footprint tunnel surveys since 2022 and this is only the second time that we found hedgehog footprints on campus!

There have been several reports of an extensive amount of webbing on trees and shrubs across campus. These webs were spun by various ermine moth species to shelter the developing caterpillars.

We have been working in partnership with since 2023 to undertake small mammal surveys on campus. Small mammals are vital links of the food chain, and are also often used as indicators of habitat quality and complexity. However, as they are notoriously difficult to observe, small mammal surveys are often conducted using humane live trapping methods, such as using Longworth traps.

We once again participated in the global City Nature Challenge. This year, Coventry, 糖心TVshire and Solihull joined forces to record as many species as possible during the 4 days of the competition while empowering more and more people to contribute to citizen science.
