‘Eleven observers and a dog on lead had the pleasure of meeting up with Hayley Pottenger, our new monthly survey coordinator, for a 7.15 am start. Two more enthusiasts joined us later.
Welcome Hayley — we hope you enjoy many more mornings with us in such perfect surveying conditions.
The surveys began with an air temperature of 12°C. Any cloud soon lifted, bringing a still sunny morning.’
