After weeks of dry weather, recent rain has brought welcome relief to Saltfleetby-Theddlethorpe Dunes. 💚 Dune grassland is greening up, and the marsh has standing water again, already drawing in waders and wildfowl. 📸 Owen Beaumont, @NaturalEngland

The reserve is part of the Lincolnshire Coronation Coast National Nature Reserve, one of the largest and most diverse coastal reserves in the country, spanning dunes, marsh, mudflats and beach.🌊

It also sits on the King Charles III England Coast Path, so you can explore this stretch of coastline on foot and take in the wildlife along the way. Simply head to the coast path, turn left or right, and enjoy.

Last month, the RSPB announced that Sherwood Forest’s iconic Major Oak had died. But its legend will live on. Not only in the stories of Robin Hood, but by creating vital habitat for a range of specialised and rare species as the trunk decays.

Wildfire risk is high this weekend. ⚠️ If you're visiting the countryside, please follow this advice: 🔥 Pack a picnic, instead of a BBQ 🎒 Take your rubbish home - glass starts fires, rubbish fuels a fire 📞 If you see a fire unattended, get to a safe place and call 999.
