RANGERS at Ryton Pools Country Park have recorded the 3,000th species at the site.

The honour went to a tiny micro-moth, Narycia duplicella, discovered by Countryside Ranger George while out looking for Pine Ladybirds.

The milestone is a result of years of site management and recording work, a collaboration between the ranger team and local experts and volunteers.

The site now supports regionally and nationally important species – including all 14 species of bumblebee found in Warwickshire, rare spiders, and priority butterfly species like the Wood White and Dark Green Fritillary.
