DESCRIPTION
Birdwatching Two is a group formed in early 2019 to accommodate further members with a birdwatching interest. We are all amateurs with different levels of expertise in birdwatching, but we are keen to share and learn more.

We meet at birdwatching sites in or near Rutland, once or twice per month, at 9.30am for approximately 2 hours.
The site for each meeting is selected and advised to members a few days before the meeting, agreeing exactly where to meet and on any car parking arrangements.

Binoculars (or telescopic cameras) and outdoor footwear and clothing are essential requirements as only a few sites have sheltered hides and most meetings involve some country walking. You are advised to bring water to drink and consider head protection on hot sunny days. On colder days please wrap up well as the hides can be cold and windy, or we may be out in the open and staying relatively still.

For further information, please contact Helen Jezequel via the U3A messaging facility

Bird photos on the webpage are mainly thanks to Graeme's expertise with his camera.
