Winter Update

Three woodmouse nests have been discovered in the hedgerow network around Lott's meadow and the small holdings near it, one of which is currently occupied by two adult woodmice.  During the LEGLAG Batwalk 18th June one common pipistrelle bat was found roosting in the mature oak tree in Lott's meadow.

The presence of rare or endangered plants or animals can be a reason to preserve land in the countryside - even leading to an area being designated a 'site of special scientific interest' or SSSI. The Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended) is the principle mechanism for the legislative protection of wildlife in Great Britain.  Please report any plants or animals to the LEGLAG wildlife records email: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

Dr Elizabeth Pimley, a member of LEGLAG, has written a note on the ecological value of this area.
