AVON MEADOWS BIOBLITZ - Saturday 18th June 2016

This was another pleasant day at Avon Meadows finding out what lives there. This wildlife haven is attracting a surprising number of species of birds, insects, amphibians and mammals. Local families who joined in were surprised to learn just how much we found in a day. More information about this wonderful community wetland can be found on the Friends of Avon Meaows' website -

This event is organised by Worcestershire Wildlife Trust (WWT) and was another great success. This year visitors were able to enter VLHT's Stocken Orchard to see horse-logging demonstrations, which proved very popular.
