We are very pleased that Harry Forshaw from Froglife will be presenting an update on the London Blue Chain project.
The London Blue Chain Project is organised by Froglife with Heritage Lottery funding. It is to create and improve habitats for amphibians and reptiles and giving opportunities for local communities to get involved. It is based in South East London in the boroughs of Bexley, Greenwich, Bromley, Lewisham, Southwark and Lambeth and will be running from Spring 2024 for three and a half years.
Here is a link to www.froglife.org/london-blue-chain so you can have a quick look before the meeting.

Winter Bird Walk
Saturday, December 23, 2023, at 9:30am
Join us for a delightful Winter Bird Walk in the heart of London!
Whether you are a seasoned birdwatcher or just starting out, this walk is perfect for everyone.
The summer migrants have been replaced by winter visitors such as Redwing and Siskin, escaping much colder weather elsewhere. They must feed quickly during the short hours of daylight, often forming flocks of different bird species.
Don't forget to bring your binoculars and cameras to capture these beautiful creatures in their natural habitat.
Booking is essential for all walks.
