Dear Friends,

 

We have just celebrated Easter, and spring is well and truly on its way!  We are starting to see the summer migrant birds reaching our coast, adding an exotic note to the bird song in our hedges.   Living on the Peninsular brings a huge variety in bird life which certainly keeps me on my toes!  I have a new bird song recognition app which, this year, is adding an extra dimension to my bird watching – I am hoping to be able to learn the songs of some of our more interesting summer visitors.

 

One great place to see our bird life is in our church yards.  This gives the birds such a lovely rich and mixed habitat, with mature hedgerow and grassland.  We are working hard this year to improve the ecology of our church yards, many of which will have church yard working parties during the course of the year.  You may find that our churchyards are not as ‘neat and tidy’, but I hope that you will notice the growing variety of flora and fauna (including, of course, the bird life).

 

April and May are also Annual Meeting time for our churches.  These meetings are public and we welcome visitors to hear what we are doing and to ask questions.  Each church has an annual report which gives details of our activities, hopes and dreams.  Please do come and join us.  Details of these meetings will be posted on the church notice board.  All are welcome.

 

We look forward to seeing you.

 

Blessings
