A brief description of a typical meeting:

The Group meets at Lowther Road Car Park and we car share. Our walks are in areas where we are more likely to spot birds and wildlife i.e. woods, lakes, reservoirs, Nature Reserves etc.

Once a year we meet at the home of a member for a social get-together with a Bird Watch/Nature programme arranged. In April 2010 we did a Dawn Chorus walk followed by breakfast at a member’s house.
