WALKING boots at the ready – the nearly extinct spoon-billed sandpiper bird needs your help.
A circular walk is being held in a bid to raise money for a campaign to save the endangered bird. Only 100 pairs are thought to be left in the wild.
The walk will take place on Sunday, September 15. Walkers will meet in the Cam Peak car park at 2pm and will proceed across Can Long down to Uley Bury for a pit stop before going onto Small Pox Hill and returning about two and a half hours later.
Minimum donations are £10 and will be split between the Wildfowl and Wetland Trust's spoon-billed sandpipers fund and Friends of Tumpy Green.
