Natural History of Muntjac Deer, Mr. Bob Hider
on Essex Coastal Birds and Mr. M. Henry on
Continental Birds.
The Botany Group organised 9 meetings, a notable
one being the barge trip along the Chelmer and
Blackwater Canal.
The Bird Group organised 9 meetings and the
Mammal Group 6 meetings. One of these was the
first bat netting meeting to be held by the
Club.
The Geology Group organised a single meeting
and hopefully more will be held when new leaders
come forward.
The other meetings included the fungus foray which
was held in the Danbury area this year.
The Essex Naturalist Number 6 in the new series
was published. It was "The Smaller Moths of
Essex", by Col. A. M. Emmet, edited by David
Corke. Two more issues of the Essex Field
Club Bulletin were published, edited by Mr. A.
Boniface.
The Council would like to thank all those people
who have helped to run the Club in any way.
