The Bird Report which unfortunately could not be included in the Summer edition of Fork News is now available on the Bird Report page.
Unfortunately this is the last report by Richard Brown
For many years Richard Brown has provided expert bird observations for FORK News. We would all like to express our thanks to Richard for these enjoyable and informative reports, and wish him well in his (very active) retirement.

The Royal Navy have promised 50+ men and women of mixed rank to lend their manpower to FORK for the second year running.
They will be coming to the Kelvin on Wednesday 25th June to clear rubbish from the river and its banks and have much more access to difficult to reach places than us mere mortal FORKs do on an average clean-up.
Please email Mark with suggested sites then we can build a challenging day for the team building crew.
All the sailors want in return is to be fed at the end of the day and that any monetary donations to help us do this would be gratefully received by Mark too.
We plan a BBQ for them after they complete their tasks.
