The Centre for Local History is based in the Carnarvon Room, on Chestnut Grove in the centre of Burton Joyce, Nottinghamshire, UK. 

The Society has a monthly meeting with a speaker, on the second Tuesday evening of the month, and an open morning, usually the following Saturday, when a wide range of resources relating to the two villages are available to view.

A pair of goosanders was quite unconcerned that we were close by, and we were able to watch them for about twenty minutes. Some of the resulting photographs are posted on goosanders page.

Among the photographs I took were some of a water vole feeding, a great-crested grebe which stayed nearer to the riverbank we were walking along than they usually do, and patches of bright yellow lesser celendines. These have been added as new pages under photographs in the mammals, birds and plants sections respectively.
