Our Winter 2022 newsletter has Nature Notes, articles on Toad Patrol, an odd prickly fruit and spiders … plus more.
Ospreys at Chew Valley
We have been sent a report and photos of three Ospreys around Chew Valley Lake. The lake is just west of the CVWG area. Osprey is a scarce passage migrant that sometimes hangs around at Chew Valley Lake area into Autumn, so it’s one to look out for right now.
