Wildlife in Chicksgrove

Keep your eyes peeled if you're walking along that lovely footpath just ​inside the hedge between Upper and Lower Chicksgrove (TIS 62/SM34) as these Brown hares and the splendid Great Green Bush Cricket, whose usual habitat is the Dorset coast, have been spotted nearby. 

​You're reminded also to report any dead hares you may see, as a virus is reported to be spreading in this direction.  If you find a freshly dead hare that hasn’t been a road kill, please take a photo with a phone if you are carrying one and email D.Bell@uea.ac.uk with the location. If you are able to double bin-bag it for them to collect to mortem that would be be even better.  But don't let this spoil your walk!!
