Over the last 2 years we have had help from various
quarters. Some have contributed to designing the sign, others
have helped draw up grant applications.The parish council deserve
a special thank you for letting us utilise the site in the first
place. The Suffolk Wildlife Trust have also always been available
when we have needed their help.
However there are a selected few who deserve a special mention.
George
Millins, SWT volunteer, responsible for reptiles
Arthur Semmens, responsible for tree planting
Alan Sawyer , site co-ordinator and web designer
Cliff dark, RSPB volunteer, responsible for bird
feeders and surveys.
Pam Scillitoe for taking charge of pruning the
rose bushes
Thanks to Sue Ruth for designing the sign
We are always in need of new volunteers, especially those with
specialist knowledge. We hope this web site will encourage new
faces. There are always jobs to do on site, such as filling feeders,
carrying logs or cutting back blackthorn.
Many thanks to Nick Pratt and Cliff Dark for photos and video
link. We would be grateful if you would contact us if you wish
to use our graphics for commercial use.
Global warming............
United Kingdom - British birds extend
their ranges northward. A comparison of the breeding distributions
of birds for two time periods, 1968-72 and 1988-91, showed that
the northern margins for many species had moved northwards by
an average of about 12 miles (19 km). The range shift occurred
during a period when central England?s temperature warmed by about
0.9?F (0.5?C) over the last century, and the 10-year period 1988-1997
was the warmest such period in the record.
