Autumn in the Valley

Cold weather over the last couple of weeks has turned the leaves to gold. Oaks and maples are looking stunning - a pity we have not had much sunny weather to bring out the best colours. Easterly winds have brought in large flocks of winter thrushes so fieldfares and redwings are greedily feeding on hawthorn berries. Waxwings have arrived on the coast so we may have these colourful visitors with us soon.

Last night we held our first wildlife quiz at Thornham. It was a very successful event with fish and chips for everyone. See how you can do by solving the following anagrams of butterflies commonly found in the Waveney Valley:

TINGLER

COKE CAP

BULLY HOLE
MINOR BEST
WE ARE LIGHT
I PRANG TOE
LARDER MAID
A WOMB WONDER
WEE DOLLY COULD
A TINY PADDLE

Answers next time!

We are always keen to see new volunteers on our teams going out every Tuesday and Wednesday. They do a tremendous amount of work from digging new wildlife ponds, planting trees to managing wildlife sites. If this sounds like you then please give Tim Page a call on 01379 788008.
