Sandwell Valley (6 Viewers)

Yes, we'll probably be starting feeding again some time in November. Not sure it will be quite as successful as last winter as the maize is in another field this year. Fingers crossed we'll still attract good numbers and maybe something nice!

I'm sure Dave will put a message out on here and Twitter when we start again.

Cheers,

Matt
