Brett Westwood, naturalist and BBC wildlife broadcaster, spoke about the unique sandy habitat which supports regionally rare species on The Common.
Solitary, non-swarming, bees are a particular feature and new species, even, sometimes appear: possibly due to climate- change spread.
Thought-provoking discussion then included both the benefits to wildlife and the toxicity problems of ragwort plants.
