Birds before Friday’s reminder! had two very different days on the bird front. Yesterday was my weekly volunteering slot at Wick Court with young people from Orpington (I did visit their school nearly four years ago!) Thoroughly enjoyable day and pleased it was dry, we saw a good many birds but the children enjoyed me showing them a Vole Nest near our Hide. Our Hide is a great success and is now almost two years old.

Today Clare and I went to do one of our Winter Bird survey squares (OS map squares) and once again was well away from home in a place you wouldn’t normally visit. A delightful morning and we had a wonderful view of a Greenfinch at the top of a tree.

Finally last shout for The Two Severn Bores gig on Friday  starting at 7.30 at Kingshill House Dursley. Please join us if you can. Our next one is in Bristol at Folk Tales on the last Wednesday in March.
