Great news. Lundy has been officially reacredited as a Bird Observatory! We hope this prestigious title will attract more birders (and birds?) to the island.

It is #BigGardenBirdwatch weekend! Be sure to take part in this incredible piece of citizen science. You never know what you might see? And even if you don't see as much as expected, or maybe nothing at all, that is still important data.

Time is running out to object to a solar farm on Chelson Meadow, & back an alternative delivering solar panels while conserving the best wildlife habitat. Please object by 22 March. Details: docs.google.com/document/d/1… @DevonBirds @CBWPS1 @BirdGuides @RareBirdAlertUK plse RT
