We hope to see 3 different newt species. Meet at Winkfield, Station Road (opposite the rectory at All Saints). Places limited - please let Tony Hutson know (hutson.t@btinternet.com) if you plan to attend. A second date may be possible if there is enough interest.

April 26th 7:30pm Sausage Supper and Nightingale walk
The scrubby thicket beside the railway line is perfect nightingale habitat, and the annual nightingale walk has become a popular event in the village calendar. We will start with a sausage supper at Downsview Cottage, Riddens Lane, before following footpaths towards the railway. Huddled together in the darkness, we'll wait until one or more nightingales burst into song.
