The village Wildlife Group, The Feldons, are holding a hedgerow survey at The Hall on Sunday April 7th at 10.30.

The survey, which will take about an hour, follows on from one first conducted last June in the hedgerows around The Hall, observing plants, insects, animals, birds etc. found there.

Everyone with an interest in the wildlife of the village is welcome, especially children who will be the wildlife ambassadors of the future.

17 yr old Milly Blake will be leading the event and making delicious cookies to share – so please come along and enjoy!

If you are interested in the wildlife in your garden and would like to help build a picture of how garden birds are faring in both in the UK and our local area, you may be interested to take part in the Big Garden Birdwatch run by the RSPB.

See more below from Nick Holmes of the village wildlife group, the Feldons, who will be using the results to get a picture of birdlife locally.

‘Feldons Wildlife Group invites you to take part in the RSPB’s Big Garden Birdwatch, 26-28 January, 2024.

Visit the RSPB website to sign-up:

Count your garden birds for 1 hour, log your results with RSPB, then please send a copy (e.g. a photo/email) of your results to nickpholmes7@gmail.com

We will collate all the local results into a 2024 Feldons bird survey!
