What an excellent talk by Phil from The Cedar Wildlife Sanctuary at the December members’ meeting.  One really has to marvel at the dedication of Wendy and Phil.

Once again thanks are due to the Derbyshire Ornithological Society which has donated £100 for the purchase of bird seed.  Thank you also to John Kirby and Derek Beech for their articles on visits to Sri Lanka and Gibraltar Point.  If you want to contribute to the newsletter please let me know.

There has been much work done on site over the last few months.  Part of the Exhibition Field has been ploughed and fenced ready for the planting of the “living bird table”, there are some new kissing gates in place around the site and more fencing has been put up to allow sheep grazing.

The sand martin bank is progressing, if somewhat slowly.

Please note there is no members’ meeting in February.
