GLOW-WORM SURVEY
The 2004 UK Safari Glow-Worm Survey is now well under way, and several sightings have already been sent in from around the UK. You can see how it's going by visiting:

If you'd like to take part the details are all posted on the website. See if you can spot any around your local patch. The best time to see them glowing is after ten thirty when it's nice and dark. Choose a warm evening and take a torch with you to get a better view.

Surveying one of the UK’s least seen birds
This summer, hundreds of specially selected volunteers will be making twilight visits to heathlands, commons and recently-felled forestry plantations across Britain to listen for and record one of our least seen birds, the nightjar.
The British Trust for Ornithology is co-ordinating a UK-wide survey, in partnership with English Nature, Forestry Commission and the RSPB, to estimate the nesting numbers of this dove-sized, nocturnal bird in Britain.

New LNU Website
The Lincolnshire Naturalists' Union website has been totally rewritten by Steve Gray. Do have a look at it and see what he has done. I think it's very good, with lots of potential for future development too. Hopefully it will prove a useful source of information and contacts and will encourage others to join the LNU. If you have not yet become a member of the LNU, you can now download an application form from the site.
