Magnus, who hails from Bishopston in Bristol started work this week on the hottest day on record in the UK.

Prior to joining the wildlife charity, Magnus was a student at Bristol Grammar School before moving to the north east to study Biology at Newcastle University.  He is certainly having a great summer having just graduated with a First Class BSc (Hons) degree and landing his dream job.

Based at the Hauxley Wildlife Discovery Centre, Magnus will work across six sites at Druridge Bay - gaining experience with a variety of habitats, developing new skills and earning practical qualifications as well improving his survey and species identification knowledge by gathering accurate data.

In addition, he will help to deliver public engagement and outreach activities as part of the Trust’s Wilding West Chevington and Catch My Drift (based at East Chevington) projects.

Speaking about his appointment, Magnus says: “I was attracted to this new role as it is a great way to combine the theoretical knowledge learnt on my undergraduate course with the practical skills I will acquire on the range of projects I will be involved in.”

The Ventient Sisters and North Steads Windfarm Community Benefit Fund at the Community Foundation allows community groups within a 5km radius of the windfarm to apply for funding of up to £20,000.
