Just a reminder that this winter’s NOA Sponsored Birdwatch will take place in the New Year this Friday on 2^nd January 2026, when I and the NOA team will be up early trying to see as many species as possible in the local area, aiming for the magic 100 mark! The weather is looking pretty cold with freezing tempertures, a strong north westerly wind and to top it off, the possibility of snow showers… so wish us luck!!

If you wish to support us, you can either sponsor the team by number of species or donate a fixed sum. You can donate via Paypal by clicking on the yellow Donate button or via our Wonderful page on our website at the following link: https://noa.org.uk/donate-leave-legacy/

If you can Gift Aid your donation, so much the better.

Many thanks in advance for your support and Happy New Year from everyone at the NOA!
