The Waldringfield History Group next year wishes to gather information which can be used as a ‘benchmark’ for a comparison in 2040.
The Big Garden Birdwatch will take place at the end of January which will be before the Waldringfield History Group has its ‘launch event’ about the gathering of information.
The Waldringfield History Group is looking to arrange a meeting in the late afternoon between 2 December and 5 December to which a representative of the Waldringfield Wildlife Group will be invited at which more can be explained about the proposed gathering of information.
I was asked by the Waldringfield History Group to contact Waldringfield Wildlife Group in advance of December meeting to seek that those who plan to participate in the Big Garden Birdwatch in January 2020 will be willing to share their findings with the Waldringfield History Group.
I have done so and it will be considered as an AOB item for the Waldringfield Wildlife Group AGM to be held 12.10.19
On behalf of the Waldringfield Wildlife Group Jill Winter has said it will “probably be better to hide individuals names. On behalf of the Waldringfield History Group I have agreed to this and attach a spreadsheet from a previous Big Garden Birdwatch in Waldringfield.
