Lakefly Volunteer Action Shot Gallery (September-December 2025)
3 December, 2025
Our Lakefly volunteers have been out sampling in all conditions over the past few months, and the images in this gallery capture the dedication and enthusiasm that make the project so special.
From early autumn sampling in September through to frosty morning and fading light in December, these photos showcase the reality of monitoring lakes across the seasons.

“Lakefly is built on the commitment of its volunteers, who collect vital data that helps us better understand lake invertebrate communities and how they respond to changing conditions.
These action shots offer a glimpse into that work, from sorting at the water’s edge, careful handling of samples, and quieter moments that come with spending time by a lake. ”
A huge thank you to everyone who has shared their photos and taken part in the Lakefly project so far!
Your contributions not only support the science behind Lakefly, but also help us tell the story of the project and inspire others to get involved.
How can people get involved?
Currently, the project is in the middle of a comprehensive pilot phase and no more training events are planned, however we anticipate Lakefly going ‘live’ in Spring 2026.
Individuals or organisations interested in joining future training can register their interest via the Lakefly email (lakefly@fba.org.uk). New training opportunities will be announced in early spring 2026.
