Each outing will have an "outing leader".
Warm clothing is advised but a knowledge of birds is not necessary!
Remember to bring your RSPB or WWT Membership Card for outings to those Reserves.
Reserves have informative websites. Check there for species to look for.
Lists of species seen on recent outings can be viewed under Past Visits below.
The Group has a database of records for all visits made in a particular year or to a chosen site.
The directions for each outing will be confirmed the week prior to the visit.
Please always let the Leader know when you plan to join us on one of our visits so we can keep you informed if there are last minute changes for any reason. Otherwise you might turn up and find we aren’t there.
Also if you are new to this Group or if you require directions or a lift, please contact the Leader.
Unless otherwise stated, all photographs on this Group’s page have been taken on visits by Group Members and are used with their permission.
