We were very saddened to hear of the sudden passing of Michael Holdsworth whilst on holiday on Sep 8th. Michael was secretary of @CambsBirdClub and one of the most experienced ringers in the county. We have created an online space for people to post their memories and condolences

Took the road less travelled this morning, around some local Fenland, if you saw the state of the road you’ll know why it’s less travelled. #lifeisarollercoaster 🤢 Nothing much to report except a Marsh Harrier hunting Teal at Isleham Washes. @CambsBirdClub
