NB. Stratford Hide:
Steve Smith reported repairs are scheduled to be carried out to the boardwalk at Stratford Hide on Sunday, 26th November, by the conservation volunteers. They will be replacing the planks. It is likely this will require more than one day of work, which may be carried over to the next weekend. The hide may be out of action for 10 days to 2 weeks, although more serious issues may be uncovered requiring a longer closure.
The 2016 Avon Bird Report is now available. It has 216 pages including 16 in colour.
