March

Birdwatchers

This is a thriving, friendly Group who visit various Bird Reserves every month to polish up on our identifying skills and have a lovely day out.

The group is suitable for both beginners and experienced birdwatchers. Those with experience are always happy to share their knowledge as it makes for a much more rewarding experience for both.
