All but one of our surveys (bird boxes) thus far have been initiated by friends and for this we are hugely appreciative. The first offer came from Tim through his wife Jane, who sings with Tynedale Community Choir. He has undertaken weekly transect walks throughout the butterfly season for several years now. Click on Butterflies below to read more. Keith, who takes us and many of our friends on bird-watching days, has undertaken a breeding bird survey of Liddells each Spring. Click on Birds and birdboxes below for more. Mel, whom we met through a reading group, offered his extensive knowledge of wildflowers and made monthly surveys throughout 2014. For his and our subsequent results, click on Flowers below. We have made an annual Spring survey of the birdbox use. You will find the results with the bird surveys by clicking below.
