Also in the newsletter:

• Keep up with two of our PhD students, Laura and James looking respectively at Irish Turloughs and Natural Flood Management in the Thames floodplain.
• Read more about where the amazing photo on page 1 was taken (hint, we went to the Outer Hebrides to explore species rich wet grassland there).

Finally, at the last minute, we have a date for our Fritillary winter workshop (20^th Feb, Cricklade, Wiltshire) and a provisional fritillary count date of 23^rd April (tbc). Get in touch if you want to join us.
