Many of you may have already discovered that at the shop we have been overcome by the festive spirit and goodwill to all men (and women, children and babies!) and so all our hot drinks are free until January 7th. Do come in out of the cold and warm up with a cup of coffee, tea or hot chocolate.

Paul’s Nature Notes from December
We recently managed to get away for a short birding break in Hungary. This was a mixed experience – the birding, with a few notable exceptions, was poor and led me to ask myself if this was a vision of the future. The Great Hungarian Plain seemed largely devoid of wildlife and diversity and, dare I say, driving across it was at times tedious and monotonous?
