This Week's NRN Tiny Talks 15 Mar 2021 Read on for this weeks NRN Tiny Talks and Survey Opportunities

With one week to go on NRN's Tiny Talks, everyone has been delighted by the enthusiasm with which we want to listen to each other and share our experience of nature in all its manifestations. Around 60 people have joined each talk, with more listening to the recordings on our Youtube Channel.

This week's talks (links below) offer more opportunities to understand our local wildlife and also learn more about a particular interest you may have before signing up for NRN's 2021 surveys. No previous experience is needed but obviously group surveying lead by our local experts will have to wait for the end of lock-down. Ongoing survey opportunities for this season are:

Botanical surveys, including re-surveying Eynsham's new meadow areas
Reptile surveys in the fishponds and elsewhere
Water and invertebrate surveys
Bird surveys
Garden wildlife survey
Veteran tree surveys
Water vole surveys
