But don't ospreys build their own nests? Tim takes us into his world of ‘thinking like an osprey’ and explains why these pioneering birds sometimes need a helping hand. The episode is out now. Listen wherever you get your podcasts.

Isabella Tree is joined by raptor reintroduction specialist Tim Mackrill, to talk about his ambitious vision for bringing ospreys back to Britain. Isabella grabbed the opportunity to witness Tim and his team as they built an osprey nest at Knepp.

The saying ‘build it and they will come’ takes on new meaning in this month's episode of The Knepp Wilding Podcast.

In this interview with Rewilding Britain, she talks about the two years she spent travelling between rewilding sites to bring them to life on canvas.

Our latest art exhibition celebrates the work of Rebecca Howard, who beautifully captures some of the wildest of these places, including our own rewilding project here at Knepp.

Across the UK, there are places where people have stepped back and let nature take the lead, giving wildlife and habitats the chance to recover.

The clacking of white storks, galloping Exmoor ponies, the roar of red stags and the hooting of owls. Seeing the creatures here is only half the joy. The sound they bring to the landscape is magical to take in. There's nothing quite like hearing the chorus in person. Visit us this October.

Just 11% of the UK's land and seas are currently protected for nature. Yet the research found the public wants that figure to exceed 60%, more than double the Government's 2030 target.

The British public values nature more highly than the UK Government does, according to new research published by The Wildlife Trusts.

the first Verge (or Bordeaux) cricket ever recorded in the British Isles. Once news broke, other sightings poured in, coinciding with huge wildfires in Bordeaux and raising the question of whether some had fled the flames of southern Europe.

On a stifling July evening, Matt heard a piercing trill he couldn't place. Returning with entomologist Graeme Lyons, he spent three hours tracking the sound, only to find its source hiding in a crack in the parched clay beneath their feet:

We saw some in late June and early July last year, but nothing like the numbers we're seeing this September. Typically, this butterfly has two broods, but our resident butterfly expert Neil Hulme suspects it could be breeding as many as three times at Knepp...

It loves big open spaces with a variety of grasses to lay its eggs on, but because of the widespread loss of this habitat, it's been pushed to the fringes, existing only in small, fragmented populations.

We have seen an astonishing resurgence of the lovely amber-winged wall brown butterfly at Knepp. Before 2025, there'd been just one record of this rare butterfly in the Wildland this century. It gets its name from its habit of basking on walls and rocks, where it opens its wings to soak up the sun.
