SPRING 1988 NUMBER 57
EDITORIAL
The first half of the year has seen some
notable sightings for our regular participants
in field meetings. These have included for me
smew, goosander and ruddy duck at Fishers
Green, excellent views of hawfinches at Duck
Wood, all three species of newts in Epping
Forest, close up observations of nightingales
at Friday Wood and Danbury, a goshawk and tree
pipits in Thetford Forest, a vixen playing with
her cub near Southend, and a wide range of
plants near Great Maplestead including Dwarf
Mallow (Malva neglecta) . It would be
pleasing to meet more of our membership to
share in our observations.
We are pleased to report that our next
Naturalist on Dragonflies is at the printing
stage and should be distributed shortly.
My thanks to Joanna Foley for the cover and to
Sheila Leswell for doing the typing.
Please let me have copy for the next edition by
1st October, 1988.
