The Warbler, May 2017 edition, now online

We have now added the May 2017 edition of The Warbler to the website, which can be downloaded here: MAY 17 Warbler (PDF 15Mb). Please note that we have recently implemented a new email system behind the scenes because some users were reporting that emails weren't arriving or were being marked as spam. The new system uses a 3rd party mailing service (Amazon SES for those who are interested) which will hopefully be an improvement. Please do send any feedback to news@wardington.net.
