My name is Charlotte and I am the Access Field Officer for the British Horse Society covering the East Region.

We are undertaking work to record legal rights, and to preserve and reinstate routes. We are currently looking to recruit Historical Research Volunteers in the Eastern Region and would be very grateful if you could share the attached poster with your parishioners who may be interested in this project.

Kind regards

Natural Cambridgeshire

Natural Cambridgeshire has put together a simple and quick survey to gather evidence about how people used natural open space, parks and the countryside during lockdown, We are interested in whether people's attitudes to the natural world have changed and what more needs to be done now to encourage more people to enjoy and value the natural world. Please take 3-5 minutes to fill it in!

Bird Boxes

From my sitting room window I can see that the birds are starting to pair up and a blackbird was collecting nesting material- sadly it disappeared into a neighbour's garden. A pair of blue tits has investigated our bird box.

So that reminded me of the 27 bird boxes that the Parish Council arranged to put up in the parish. We have had a couple of reports of birds visiting some of the boxes. For example in Vicarage Fields by the Glebe Road footpath.

So as you walk about the parish please take a moment to watch the bird boxes and please let us know if you see birds visiting the boxes. We will then put the information up on the website for us all to enjoy. In these dark days we all need to find reasons to smile.

The boxes are in the following locations- Vicarage Fields, De Vere Close, Mitchell Close playarea, the Cemetery, Village Sign area and Daintree Green.

Please send your sightings to the Webmaster to the webmaster@hemingfordgreyparishcouncil.gov.uk
Please give us some details about the bird box such as location and style of decoration.

Many Thanks

Councillor Anne Meredith
