Bitterns have been recorded on Somerset Wildlife Trust reserves for the past 10 years, and their numbers have been growing year on year. We're interested in finding out if the bitterns have spread out from the Somerset Levels and Moors, and if so, where they're going! This count is hosted on iNaturalist.

A unique landscape of moorland, woodland, valleys and farmland, shaped by people and nature over thousands of years.

Our ‘Ponds Alive!’ project was an exciting community-led initiative which took place in West Somerset in 2025. Coordinated by Somerset Wildlife Trust volunteer Elizabeth Atkinson, it aimed to help revitalise, enhance, and increase local freshwater habitats, while also encouraging more people to get involved in citizen science to help us learn more about West Somerset’s ponds and pond life.
