The White Water-lily (Nymphaea alba) is one of the most striking plants of clean, slow-moving or still freshwater, occurring in lakes, ponds, canals and sluggish rivers. Its large floating leaves and beautiful white flowers provide valuable habitat for aquatic insects and other wildlife. White Water-lilies are generally associated with good-quality, relatively unpolluted water, and their presence, particularly as part of a diverse community of aquatic plants, can be an indication of a healthy freshwater ecosystem.

For over 20 years, I have worked as an Independent Ecologist and Protected Species Surveyor, conducting ecological surveys across a diverse range of habitats. My experience spans a variety of projects, including Habitat Regulations Assessments (HRAs) for SPAs, SACs, and RAMSAR sites, as well as work on wind turbines (both small and large), solar parks, pipelines, and road schemes. I am based in Cumbria and I have extensive expertise in bird and bat survey methodologies, ensuring thorough and accurate assessments for every project.
