Meeting |
The group has relatively local weekday monthly outings with periodic weekday trips further afield.
Nine of us visited Pennington Flash on Thursday October 10th. Anne's list of birds sighted and heard is below. There had been heavy rain in the Pennington area before our visit and, unfortunately, some hides were inaccessible due to flooding. It will be worthwhile to re-visit next year. We have decided to visit Redesmere, near Capesthorne Hall on Wednesday November 20th. Further details including directions and possible lunch options will follow. List of birds seen at Pennington Flash. Canada Goose, Swan and juvenile, Cormorant mature and juvenile, Mallard, Heron, Great Crested Grebe, Little Grebe, Oyster catcher, Shoveler, Little and Great White Egret, Coot, Moorhen, Greylag goose, Black-headed gull, Magpie, Blue tit, Great tit, Long-tailed tit, Coal tit, Dunnock, Nuthatch, Robin. Bird heard but not seen, Cetti's Warbler. Not bad considering the circumstances! We hope to see you on the 20th Anne and Carol * This group is currently open to members of u3as in the North East Cheshire Network.
