LANCASHIRE

The Lancashire and Cheshire Fauna Society was formed in 1914 with the objectives to record and publish data on the region's wildlife. Initially based out of the centres of excellence at the Museums & Universities at Manchester and Liverpool, the Society has developed over the years, becoming a Registered Charity in the 60's and continues to publish annual reports... We work closely with the county's records centres and can provide more specific data to consultants for a small fee enabling us to keep the price of membership ridiculously good value... The second was at the AGM in 1960 at Birkenhead School of which W. T. C. Rankin was the head. Our formal business was getting over; it was late in the afternoon of a lovely day. The windows were open and from a garden at the back, a male Blackbird began to sing. It was a moment for me, in retrospect, like Edward Thomas's immortal Aldestrop.
