2018 Annual Report
Our 2018 Annual Report is now on sale.
£15 for a full colour, glossy, 140 page A4 report. All profits will be spent on our work at Tice's Meadow Nature Reserve.
The report is much more than a list of the birds seen, it includes all
of the site's wildlife, and is a record of all the work we did on site
in 2018.
You can collect in person from Richard Horton, or we can post it to you
(+ £2 p&p). Please DM or email us to place an order.
Once we've sold all 60 copies, we will release a free lower-res pdf for all to read.

We had the pleasure of hosting two judges from the office of the Surrey Lieutenancy today as we have been nominated for a prestigous Queen's Award for Voluntary Services. The QAVS is the equivalent of an MBE for volunteer groups and it is a real honour just to be nominated. An announcement of the winners will be made on June 2nd 2020.
Roger Dickey held a ringing session in the woods.
Pupils from Badshot Lea Infants School enjoyed a trip to site today to collect materials for their Christmas decorations and a chance to splash in the muddy puddles.
