2018 Summary


I have been reviewing our bird watching activities for the year and I thought the results might be of interest to you. In summary we have spotted a total of 81 different species in just 9 outings, see the table below. Hopefully we will extend our list to over 100 during the year ahead.

Starting in the New Year our visits will be on the second Wednesday of the month. I have added a couple of extra visits in the months of April and May. The programme for next year can be viewed by clicking on the programme tab. As usual, I will send out reminders the week before we have a planned outing.

In the meantime, I wish you all a very Happy New Year.
