Bird Watching
More information on Birdwatching
The group activities are aimed at all levels of birder from beginners to experts. We visit a wide range of sites in the immediate area and further afield.
Half-day Birdwatching meets in the morning of the first Wednesday of each month and is led by Mike Chamberlain.
Full-day Birdwatching is on the third Thursday of the month, led by Bill Poole.
In the winter months we also have a Birding Basics course of indoor meetings to enhance our knowledge and understanding of bird life. This can also be a useful starting place for beginners to the hobby. Basics will meet on the second Monday morning of each month from October to April.
From time to time we have Birding Extra trips either to find specific birds, or to deal with subjects like birdsong, or just to help beginners check out particular species. As these happen at various times and dates, it is important to check the whole diary to find when they are on.
