FROM THE EDITORS
If it had been due on 20th July, this Winter newsletter would be well on time! As it is, we hope the wait hasn’t inconvenienced anyone. We all know it’s winter, this year – cold, wet, dark; but we are assured El Nino is on its
way.
So, we’re making the most of the wet and green aspects, a beautiful winter for ducks – wetlands are abundant with waterbirds, native plants flowering, bush birds getting ready for mating/territory issues, water plants (and
others) thriving, fungi prolific. It’s a joy to be amongst it all, and we hope you all can be too.
Speaking of fungi, Alison Pouliet’s new book is reviewed in this issue. We have it and it’s wonder-full!
Happy hunting, and keeping warm by the fireside.
For those of you who have yet to run across our new Chief Ranger, Charlie Richardson: there is more from him in the next newsletter. Keep a look out for him, say hi, and have a chat.
