At Montpelier Station there was a female Blackcap, several Goldfinches and a few Chaffinches on the feeders and 2 Ravens on the TV mast.

 Several Muscid flies around the patch today. Update: I've been corrected - the flies are Blow flies (Calliphora species).

  1. Dear Des
    Regina (from Fosap) here I would like to know if the wildlife group meets on a regular basis? It would be good if it could and get together to help out around our park and disscuss wildlife matters ideas of interest. What do you think?

  2. Hi Regina
    The wildlife group doesn't meet on a regular basis but it's certainly an idea as there are quite a few in the group. Maybe the idea should be raised on the website or at the next meeting?
