Thankyou to all attended our members afternoon and AGM yesterday and especially thanks to all who helped and provided cakes! After the AGM business we enjoyed talks on the work of Lesser-spotted Woodpecker Network,  particularly in the woods of the Quantocks and Exmoor ,  by Gus Robin . You can read about this project in the latest Somerset Birds report. Brian Hill talked about Spotted Flycatchers , a now sadly declining species and Eve Tigwell updated us on BTO surveys both ongoing and new surveys.  there are quite a few areas available for both BBS and WeBS surveys so get in touch with her or check out the BTO website if you are interested.

Members afternoon with the SOS AGM at Cheddon Fitzpaine Hall TA2 8JY. The AGM will be followed by talks on Lesser-spotted Woodpeckers in Somerset by Gus Robin and Spotted Flycatchers in Somerset by Brian Hill. Refreshments will be provided. 

If you would like to give a short talk on any aspect of Somerset Birding please contact .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) . Also if you are able to offer any help with setting up & clearing away and with refreshments (perhaps bring a cake!) again let Alison know.
