BIRDWATCHING (David Hunter)
This is an informal Group for anyone with an interest in bird life whatever their level of experience.
On our monthly outings we travel to areas where birds would be expected and help each other to spot, identify and learn more about them. Stout footwear and weatherproof clothing advised, and don’t forget binoculars. No dogs please.

Redstart, Paxton May 2024

Second Friday of the month, mostly morning outings but two full day trips are planned in December and May.

Except on the full day trips, groups are limited to about twelve. If any destination is oversubscribed, a repeat visit may be possible on the third or fourth Friday.
