Not really! There‟s plenty to look forward to over the coming months, both within the activities of the Local Group and, as the seasons change, the local wildlife.

If you‟ve a little time spare, fancy clearing the town air from your lungs and don‟t mind a little walking, sites such as Ladle Hill, Noar Hill, Burghclere Lime Quarry, Micheldever Spoil Heaps and The Mill Field are all local, easily accessed and currently absolutely stuffed with things to look, and wonder, at.

    Editorial Chairman's Report

    Editorial We have decided that the Diary of Events and programme of field meetings, which have in the past both been incorporated in the Newsletter, should be issued as a separate leaflet (sent out with this Newsletter). This leaflet gives details of all the season’s events, which include field meetings (butterfly walks, moth evenings), any talks, walks and events on our reserves, and the shows which we are attending. We hope that you will find this innovation useful: it would be helpful to hear members’ reactions to the change of format so that we can decide whether to continue with it. Please send comments to me or any Committee member. Juliet Bloss, Editor Chairman’s Report At our social afternoon in February Andy Barker threw down the gauntlet of a Brimstone sighting ‘within the next fortnight’, this despite the cold damp spell persisting, with sunshine a rare commodity. As usual, he proved right and a report from Alresford soon appeared on the sightings page of our Branch web- site. The social afternoon, as before, was an enjoyable reflection on the past season and a good way of enhancing anticipation of the new one. Saturday afternoon proved a satisfactory time for this event, which will be on a Saturday next year, again in late February. It is clear that many Branch members are becoming extremely skilled photographers – “have become” might be a better tense! Reflecting this enthusiasm, Peter Eeles is running another of his excellent courses on 24 April, now an established and popular training event. If there is a demand, we are very happy to run extra walks or field trips specifically to help develop photographic skills; please contact me personally if this is something you would like the Branch to do.
