Birdwatching & Wildlife Group
Pat Wilkes
Meetings: The group meets at General on the first Friday of the month at 10:00
Please contact the Group Leader first to find out if the group can accept new members.

We have a programme of monthly outings to different venues chosen to try to pick up different birds at different times of the year. We are not "twitchers", we are simply interested in birds and the countryside in general.

Our outings are on the first Friday of each month, usually morning events, followed by an essential visit to a local establishment for a convivial lunch. We are lucky to have several local venues with excellent birding, but we do also venture further afield to neighbouring counties. 

Email Pat Wilkes, Birdwarching Contact for more details.
