70 species with highlights being a Goosander in the Bat Lake, a Parakeet behind the feeders, and 2 Green Sandpipers.

We are delighted to announce that we have been honoured with a King's Award for Voluntary Services - the highest award available to voluntary groups and the equivalent of an MBE.

A deserved reward for all of our volunteers.
