BREAKING NEWS

Dead geese at Venus Pool. The Society is aware that a small number of Canada Geese have died at Venus Pool. This could be for a number of reasons, including natural mortality in the winter, but may be related to the recent outbreaks of bird flu (avian influenza). As a consequence, we are following Government guidance https://www.gov.uk/guidance/report-dead-wild-birds in terms of reporting the deaths and dead birds will not be collected. Thanks

Open letter to all members from the SOS Chair. Please read HERE!
