This edition is packed with lots of news, project updates, pictures and diary dates, what’s not to like?! Once again, Robert has provided “What’s in a name” (page 12) - the answer has been provided towards the end of the newsletter but before you look at the answer, try and work it out. We have two more Herefordshire birding sites (pages 8 & 10). It’s an exciting time of year for looking out for our feathered friends with autumn migrants starting to dip into the County. Go and explore - you may turn up a new bird for Herefordshire or even for Britain! Updates include news about the Birds of Burley Gate project (page 4), Bodenham Lake works (page 14) and Andrew Strong has written about the Sand Martin project (page 15).
