Bird Watching Group*
Organiser: Carol Gatenby and Anne Wynn
Meeting |
The group has relatively local weekday monthly outings with periodic weekday trips further afield. Ten intrepid birdwatchers visited a very muddy Redesmere on February 25th. There were fewer different species there than at previous times. Our favourite black swan wasn't seen. A list of sightings follows. Many thanks to Janet for the lovely photos. On Thursday 19th March we intend returning to Pennington Flash. It might be wise to bring our own lunch as their cafe tends to be very busy. As usual we will meet at Carol's house and go from there. We plan to leave Carol's house at about 9.30am so should arrive at Pennington at 10.00ish. For those not familiar with Pennington Flash, instructions will follow. The postcode is WN7 3PA. Also please let us know if you intend to join us and if you intend driving there yourself. Birds seen at Redesmere Little Egret, Great crested grebe, Heron, Buzzard, Swan, Farmyard geese, Grey Wagail, Blue tits, Longailed tits, Chaffinch, Gold finch, Siskin, Nuthatch, Wren (heard but not seen) Tufted ducks, Snow Goose. Hoping to see you next week. Anne and Carol. * This group is currently open to members of u3as in the North East Cheshire Network.
