Sponsored Bird Watch

The sponsored Bird Watch was held in May and fielded a Men's Team and a Ladies Team. Although no records were broken this time, the men bagged 95 species including whimbrel, woodlark, corn bunting and avocet.
The Ladies Team who were unfortunate in having poor weather, reached a total of 78 birds, also down on the previous year. Their bag included tree pipit. pied flycatcher, wood warbler and tawny owl. A goodly sum was raised by both teams bringing the total raised by this event since its inception in 1988 to over £25,000.
