There is a Crowdfunding scheme for the late Paul Dukes; a CBWPS member who lived in Goldsithney. The intention is to put a bench in Paul’s name on St. Agnes, Isles Of Scilly. An island he loved dearly and went there every October for almost 50 years and where he found some exceptional birds.

The link is: Crowdfunding For Good From JustGiving

Many thanks
