Not all residents of Brownhills Common are as uniquely handsome as this fine fellow. Photo by Walsall Wildlife and posted in their Flickr photo stream.
Here’s one for people interested in the issues surrounding Brownhills Common. If you can make time, do toddle along at 1pm and go listen to very experienced, knowledgable naturalists and conservationists talk about just what a special, rare habitat Brownhills Common is, and why it requires careful and measured stewardship.
If you’ve only heard the alarmists, it’s a good opportunity to go out and meet, talk and listen to people who understand the issues and love the wildlife.
Please go if you can.

What a wonderful few hours it was! I’ve walked over the common a 1000 times over the past 15 years and as there are changes about to be made I thought I’d pop along to learn more about what is under our noses. I met some of our wonderful rangers and locals, learned about our wildlife and the new proposals for the common (it’s really not all bad news at all). We really are lucky people to have the common and other areas on our doorstep. We are also very lucky to have the Rangers and locals who care so much.
