We hosted the usual yearly Birdwatch at the Heritage Centre in Ryde Cemetery on Saturday 25th January, when 12 people came in at various times during our period of opening.


On the 5th November 16 people turned up at Ryde Cemetery to join in a Fungi Foray, led by Dr Colin Pope.  Because of the rather wet conditions this year it was hoped to see a good variety, and we weren't disappointed.
