Lots of us will be celebrating the start of the New Year in Spring. If you're planning to enjoy fireworks as part of the celebrations, please head to a professional event, wrap up warm, and think about your neighbours when travelling home. You can join us on 9 February for a Lunar New Year festival, in an afternoon of snacks, craft and performance incorporating several regional traditions!

Birdwatching on campus
Warwick is home to many beautiful species of birds, and now is a great time of year to spot them. Watch this video from RSPB member Laura Craddock (Warwick Business School), and Dr Ian Farnell (Theatre and Performance Studies), to hear their top tips for birdwatching.
Want to get involved? Join the Sustainability team on their next Biodiversity Walk on 28 February, where the team will be birdwatching!
