Sunday, 3rd May, is International Dawn Chorus Day https://www.rspb.org.uk/whats-happening/news/the-dawn-chorus-all-you-need-to-know-about-natures-big-show, and we are keen to hear the birds in full voice. But it does mean getting up especially early! We will meet at 5am at the Tiddenham Chase car park (on the B4228, signposted Offa’s Dyke (,https://maps.app.goo.gl/xPMMj4opHnnY9w9z9) and not Nag’s Head reserve, as stated earlier). Martin Morris will lead a circular walk of about 45 minutes, so we should still all be home in time for an early breakfast. Don’t forget to dress warmly.
On Saturday, 9th May, we are holding a drop in session on biodiversity data and recording, with Andy and Gill Stott at The Village Shop, Brockweir. You can turn up at anytime between 10.30-12.30 to find out more about apps and internet resources for identifying, recording and discovering local biodiversity. This will be a hands-on practical session so bring your phones, wildlife photos and laptops (if you have any of these). We will be outside in the covered area.
On the weekend of 6/7 June we will hold our final Signs of Spring walk of the year. This walk will have a meadow theme; the precise date has yet to be fixed, details to follow.
