A request from The Friends of Ifton Meadows

Do you take pictures at Ifton Meadows and would you be happy to share them with others? Someone is always on the nature reserve. Your photographs could help us to find out what Flora and Fauna is on the site. Email them to iftonmeadows@btinternet.com  (this is not checked every day so please be patient, we will reply.) with your name and date/month the picture was taken. This is so that we can credit you with the pictures and record them officially on the survey sheets.
