BREAKING NEWS – SOS NOTICES

- Request for Assistance Monitoring Birds near Whitchurch. SOS has received a request from a farmer near Whitchurch whose property consists of over 115 ha of grassland, arable with many ponds, woodlands, hedgerows and wetland areas. They are also re-establishing traditional wildflower meadows. Would anyone be interested in gaining access to this land and monitoring the area for bird life? They would be interested in maintaining a record of species to identify the effect of the environmental improvements being made. If you would like to help, please email webmanager@shropshirebirds.co.uk.
- Guide Needed to VP Visit by Cheshire Bird Group. SOS has received a request from a bird group associated with West Cheshire Rural U3A, based around Tattenhall, for a volunteer guide to accompany them on a proposed visit to Venus Pool. The group meets on the afternoon of the third Wednesday of each month but are flexible about which month they come, although they favour winter. However, they are happy to visit VP in any month. If you would like to help, please email webmanager@shropshirebirds.co.uk.
