Nature on the big screen at Railway Fields

It was great to see so many of you at Nature Discovery Day on Saturday - despite the less-than-ideal weather!

If you couldn't make it, here's a look at some of the stunning images we captured during our projecting microscope show, which gave visitors a live, magnified view of some of Railway Fields' bugs and plants on the big screen.

Congratulations to Alice, who entered our Twitter photo challenge and won a Big Green Bookshop voucher - many thanks to our friends at the Big Green Bookshop for donating the prize.

We also welcomed Cllrs Peray Ahmet, Emina Ibrahim and Zena Brabazon, who helped us raise Railway Fields' recently re-awarded Green Flag.

A big thank you to all the volunteers who helped on the day and beforehand, our walk leaders, TCV and everyone who came and supported us.
