The Day of Photo Judging

Friday, September 22nd 2017

Today was judging day for our calendar photo competition. Thank you to all who entered – you didn’t make it easy for our judge to decide! This year’s judge was Brigadier (Retd) Mark Conroy. He was the first chairman at Foxglove Covert and is also an artist – an appropriate choice, we thought, to find someone who has been involved with Foxglove for so long, on this, the 25th year of our reserve!

We have contacted all who have had photos selected for the calendar by email. Here’s a sneaky peek at next year’s calendar photos:

We plan to put all entries on a display in the Field Centre in the next few weeks so they can ALL be enjoyed. In the meantime the preparation and printing of the calendar is starting, so watch this space!

Today we also hosted a visit from Beverley School who learnt about what’s happening at this time of year with a guided walk around the reserve and also discovered some of our mini-beasts.

Practical tasks around the reserve continued as ever, including filling of the main bird feeders by Colin – thank you –

and continuing work on cutting the smaller meadows.

Foxglove Covert Local Nature Reserve is now OPEN

Monday 4th November 2024 |

The security gate and it's safety features are to be working, so we're reopening to the public.

However the intercom and remote gate opening system is currently non-functional. Entry and exit to the reserve will therefore take place via key fobs which will be issued to visitors when they sign in at the Cambrai Lines front entrance. These fobs can be used to open the gate when entering and exiting the reserve. They must be returned to the front entrance pass office upon exiting the reserve.

Please note access will be limited by the number of fobs available. You may therefore be turned away at the pass office if all fobs are in use at that time. Please only collect one fob per visiting group and ensure you enter and exit the reserve together.

Please check the FAQs for further information on entrance procedures.
