Essex Wildlife Trust urges people to call for protection for Local Wildlife Sites
Natural England has declared the Langdon Ridge in Basildon a new Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI).
This furry hoverfly does an impressive job of impersonating a bee.
This species can pack a powerful sting, so be sure not to get too close!
Once widespread, this attractive plant has declined as a result of modern agricultural practices and is now only found in four sites in South East England.
Large scale drainage in the UK has seen a massive reduction in the range of this sensitive aquatic plant which now only occurs in around 50 sites in England.
