Subject: Book launch and update

Hi All
 
Book launch.  This went very well indeed, with around 100 people present, in the perfect venue (DOC building on River Road) on a lovely evening.  So we had the short talks outside gathered around the nibbles and drinks table, followed by book purchases and signings as those present looked at the displays and Lynley Cook's excellent sequence of slides.  Very many thanks to DOC for being the host, Sarah Ensor for her excellent organisation, and of course, to Jane Buxton and Jenny Cooper for writing and illustrating the book respectively.  We sold plenty, but there are still a number left.  If you want to purchase one, do so at the DOC office - sales from that venue result in a greater amount going to the ARRG.
 
Update.  A few of us were down on the river this weekend, setting traps and looking out for birds.  There were considerably less around than last weekend (no wrybills), but such variation is par for the course this early in the season.  As noted last time, one surprise is the almost complete absence of pied stilts - I have yet to see one down there this season.  If you are interested in a riverbed wander in the near future, pencil in Saturday, Oct 2, the day for our October survey.  More details about that later.
 
Regards
 
Nick L.
