    Update on our new land

    Common Snipe

    We've had great feedback from residents living next to the land we've purchased off Station Road, Broadclyst. As a result, we've already changed our emerging plan and we will be sharing this at a public consultation in the new year, date to be confirmed.

    On a recent visit, we flushed a couple of Common Snipe. On winter walks through wet meadows look out for these birds flying up from your feet with a croaky '"cretch" call.

    Merry Christmas and a happy New Year everyone!
