This coming Saturday 27th August, sees a very popular event return to RSPB Sandwell Valley. This free family event takes place on the reserve where staff and volunteers will help you discover more about what some people refer to as 'creepy crawlies' but really are just insects going about their business.

They'll be lots of hands-on activities to get involved with and talking of hands-on, we're borrowing the specialist hand-painter from Middleton Lakes who'll be on-hand to give a hand to the proceedings. So a big hand to her, and she'll paint it for you.

All the details for the day are on our website so get along to Tanhouse Avenue and get bug hunting!!!

See you on the reserves,

Best regards,

Chris Edwards
