There will be a post to log sightings available over the weekend. For anyone doubtful of their bird recognition skills the RSPB site is pretty good, where you can find an A-Z Guide and useful tools to help identify a specific bird sighting.
Our target for the weekend is a challenging 40 different species so the more taking part the better.

Over the last 3 weeks we’ve had reports of 3 accidents and a number of other drivers mentioning minor slides on black ice on the B5056 near the Tissington ford. The stretch of road in question is the 300-400m between the ford turning and the sharp left bend in the direction of Ashbourne.
This stretch seems to sit in a frost pocket and with the flow of water from the saturated fields above washing any grit away black ice is forming along the road. Please drive with extra care over this stretch particularly on early frosty mornings.
Though the weather is quite mild just now the forecast does show several cold nights with the risk of frost over the next couple of weeks.
Safe driving!

Look out for an exciting upcoming live event at the Memorial Hall on Thursday 11th of February with music from the Oxford Concert Party. They describe themselves as “Europe’s only Baroque and Tango Orchestra!” and the Daily Telegraph says of them “A decidedly unstuffy bunch of superb musicians … Look out for them whenever your spirits need a lift”. Here are a couple of clips from their YouTube channel which give a feeling for what we can expect:

The Derby Telegraph reports that Parwich’s Lucy Dale is helping to put women on the map in motorbike racing. Revved up about her sport, Lucy is taking to the track at Darley Moor in April and is keen that other women should take part in this sport which has been traditionally dominated by men. Lucy has also got one up on her Dad by taking to the track!
Please keep us posted on your progress Lucy!
