Wildlife Sightings in Highfield
This project was started in May 2021 and initially there was an enthusiastic response but that interest waned and there have been no recent reports of sightings so what you see on the map below are all historical. Unless we can identify a keen and reliable individual to support it, and enthuse others we will need to let the project die. Please let us know if you would be interested by emailing sightings@oxfordhighfield.org.
